The Easy Life
Dear Friend, Ah, the easy life. To get to the point where you can just sit around and do nothing. Have a few million in the bank, do whatever you want every day. Sound familiar? I’m sure it does. Seems that the easy life is for sale just about everywhere. And people are buying it. It seems so attractive. Like it’s the good life. It doesn’t take a lot of thinking to see that it really...

How Things Appear from Nowhere
Dear Friend, I am flying home, now, 40,000 feet over New York state on our four-hour flight from Boston to Denver. We have had an incredible week together as a family, created memories that will last a lifetime, and touched history, too. I thought you’d appreciate hearing about a couple of our favorites… The first one I think about was last Tuesday, a few days after we arrived on Cape Cod....

The 300 Dollar Boat Ride
Dear Friend, We had another great day around Cape Code today, including a 300 dollar boat ride that was a real memory maker. As I mentioned earlier, Nantucket was a primary purpose for this trip, so we had to go and visit the island. We were all looking forward to it. We checked out the various options for getting us there, and there was one clear winner: the High-Speed Ferry out of Hyannis. The High-Speed...

Feelin’ Lucky?
Dear Friend, Abundance is incredible! The more you play with it, the more surprised you may be at just how deep the concept goes. For me, I spent many years of my life focused on scrimping and saving. Even as a “highly-paid professional”, I found myself more interested in saving 50 cents on english muffins at the grocery store than I was in figuring out how to earn an additional $50. At...

Think Scarcity or Abundance… You’re Right
Dear Friend, Think Scarcity or Abundance… You’re Right It was nice to hear from some of you about our time here. Obviously, it’s clear to a number of you that I have not walked the beaches of Cape Code before. You were quick to point out that crab shells are quite plentiful along the Cape, and that it was very likely that we would find another one. In doing so, though, you reminded...

Handling Disappointment
Dear Friend, Handling Disappointment We have had a great time on the Cape, and have reconnected with each other as a family. We’ve spent time on the beaches, visiting lighthouses, enjoying the food, and even do a bit of shopping. Remember that crab shell that Megan picked up on the beach? I didn’t tell you the whole story. It was a very cool shell, the top of the crab. It was very light,...

Who’s Your Coach?
Dear Friend, Today I exchanged e-mail with my coach. We were discussing my website at http://masteringyourlifenow.com/ and talking about how well it does — or doesn’t — communicate what I want it to. I’m grateful for his help.It You see, he has deep understanding of what it takes to communicate on the Internet. Although I have been working with Internet technologies since 1983,...

How Do You Slow Down?
Dear Friend, This week I’m here on Cape Cod with my family of five. Our oldest daughter Rachel had read so much about Nantucket that she decided she really wanted to see it. So we started to ask questions of people we know: When should we go? Where should we stay? What should we see? Although Terry grew up in New York and I spent a number of years traveling and living on the East Coast, neither...

What’s Your Excuse?
Today I was on a flight from Denver to Boston. The Hultquists are off for a week of family time on the Cape. We’re looking forward to visiting the ocean together, seeing the sights, and being together. On the way, though, we had a bit of a surprise… While waiting to board, we stepped aside so a beautiful young woman could board first. As she wheeled past us, I noticed a small grey dog nuzzling...
