One of the great frustrations of my childhood was my father's hoarding disorder. Even today at 82 years of age, despite our mother's many requests to slowly donate his countless stacks of heavy textbooks to a local theological seminary, he refuses to take action.

I am deeply grateful to have Maya Angelou to turn to whenever I need an injection of all that is good in life. Morning and night, even if I don't have much else to meditate on, I remember this from Maya:

Thank you for all that you gave us, Maya. Thank you. Read more

Many thanks to Tom Bilyeu and Seth Godin for this inspiring conversation.
