Can You Buy Happiness? Often, Yes.
Bought a new computer for one of my remote VA's. Their gratitude spilled over to their kid, who drew this picture of appreciation. "You know that I can't thank you enough. The computer has been so helpful not just to me but also to my kid since he also borrowed this...
Another day, another opportunity to help someone.
A few weeks ago someone reached out. I made some intros on their behalf. Didn't take but a few minutes to do so. Then this shows up. "Damon, thank you sincerely for our conversation and for putting feelers out with your contacts in your network. Please call upon me if...

Empowering My Wife
My wife, affectionately referred to as "Hottie," wore a new outfit last night. She was showing skin in all the right places. 😍 17 years with this babe and she's still super hot, so I regularly let her know. Why not empower her to feel good?
My 10 Year Old Asked Me About the Value of Attention
Traveling over the weekend, my wife and kids all fell asleep, except my 10 year old. He asked a great question as we stayed up late watching whatever he found. He asked why TV shows always stop for commercials at the best part. I love these moments where a massive...
