A few years ago, I stumbled across a book at a pivotal moment in my life (my family's as well).  Taking a hard look around at our stuff and realizing what truly mattered.  The nidus was several events and some sad news that reshaped our framework.  I plowed through Robin Sharma's book:  The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari while simultaneously applying the concepts within. The journey continues and my family has pared down our possessions to about 40% of what they were a few short years ago.  Some of it sold, but most donated.  The community resources and services were so helpful and distributing items to those in need and the local veterans' service organization took the rest and put it to good use.  Nothing was wasted. On that same thread, I sat down for a conversation with my good friend Dusty Magill and captured his journey of transformation and helping as he travels throughout the world.  I think you'll like what he has to say. With Gratitude, Mitchel M.D.

Read more on the Blog We are all way too busy.  What is the typical response whenever you ask someone how they are doing?  "Oh, man.  I am so busy!  I'm good but so tired."
