One whole year ago, IÂ was in the depths of destroying and rebuilding a sagging 1950s brick ranch house, which has since grown up to become our actual home.

When subjected to challenges, both the philosophy itself and the individual practitioners (YOU) just bounce back stronger and happier.

A few years ago, my little brother moved his family to Seattle. His wife had received a promotion and an opportunity to work at her company’s flagship location. The offer was too good to refuse. There was just one problem: They moved before Tony could find a job.
Tony’s wife enjoyed her new position and increased salary. He pounded the pavement looking for work. He had no luck. When he was in Portland a few months later, he stopped by my place for a beer.
