There is one word that describes this show about advertising men in the 1960s New York: wow. If you ever have a spare forty-eight minutes then I recommend you watch this attention grabbing drama. The art direction is inspiring, well written dialogue and phenomenal re-creation that era. To learn more about the show click HERE.

Thich Nhat Hanh
“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
Road Less Traveled
I had a great 2008 in terms of traveling. I visited more cities this year than I have over the past decade. I also had the chance to travel by car, plane, ferry and train. Here are my list of cities and towns visited over the past year in order: SEATTLE, DETRIOT, CLEVELAND, BALTIMORE, WASHINGTON DC, WINDSOR, HAMILTON, NIAGARA FALLS, TORONTO, VICTORIA, PORTLAND.
Winnie the Pooh
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”

Barack Obama
"We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential."

Kahlil Gibran
“Your life is an island separated from all other islands and continents. Regardless of how many boats you send to other shores or how many ships arrive upon your shores, you yourself are an island separated by its own pains, secluded in its happiness”
Stillness Speaks
Currently reading STILLNESS SPEAKS by ECKHART TOLLE. The book is similar to his previous book POWER OF NOW. It is an easy read and my favorite section was about enjoying the present moment and letting go of the ego. Someone that as a guy I sometimes have issues with. If your read his previous books then there is nothing new here but if you have a spare hour I recommend this.

Mark Twain
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”

Seven Pounds
While watching OPRAH (yes I admit I watch it) the other day I saw the trailer for WILL SMITH'S new movie SEVEN POUNDS. Wow this movie looks good and when OPRAH says that seven seconds in this movie will change your life you better believe it. I can't wait to watch it in December. To view the trailer click HERE.

"It is essential for a man to strive with all his heart, and to understand that it is difficult even to reach the average if he does not have the intention of surpassing others in whatever he does."

Dr. Kimbro Speaks
One of my favorite books of all time is WHAT MAKES THE GREAT GREAT by DR. DENNIS KIMBRO. The book highlights the path to success and motivates to make a extra effort to achieve it. He is a great writer and after watching this VIDEO I realize he's also a great speaker. Click HERE to be inspired by the man in less than eight minutes. My favorite part is the 25,000 days left speech.
