Guess who graduated today? Only took me two years of school and 27 years of working in my industry… but @drewuniversity gave me an honorary Bachelor of Arts degree AND the honor of being the commencement speaker. SO great to see my old friends, professors, and roommate, and take my kids around such a special, beautiful campus that holds so many formative memories from another lifetime ago. Deeply humbled and grateful to have closed a loop I hadn’t even realized needed closer. Life is crazy… and beautiful. #graduate #graduated #drewuniversity

7 years old today. “How is she real?” is the question most often asked about you. And while none of us can figure it out… boy, are we glad you’re here. I wish I could take credit for your deep soulfulness, your organization skills, your tenacity, or your kind, loving heart… but I feel like you came in with all of that. Something that gets reiterated every time you look me in the eye and give me sage advice so far beyond your years it’s humbling on galactic scale. Your laughter heals. Your heart dismantles dismay. And the way you sing, and dance, and play reminds me of what life is really about. I don’t know how it could get better than you at six… but I’m looking forward to finding out. Love you with all my heart, kiddo.

Happy birthday to my love ❤️ I’ve rhapsodized about what an amazing mother you are, how grateful I am to have you as my wife, and how brave and magical and inspiring you are to everyone around you… But you’re also an amazing friend – especially to the women in your life. It’s something I saw on that trip in Israel when we first met, and I wanted to highlight it here, because it was one of the reasons I knew I wanted you to be the mother of my kids. The care, the sensitivity, and the authenticity you bring to sisterhood is such a beautiful reminder of the kind of connection that makes life on this crazy little planet fun (and longer & healthier, according to many studies). I don’t have any pics of you and your girlfriends of course – those are all on your phone 😂 but I’ve been asked to take a number of those pics, and every time I do I feel like I’m witnessing something special. Something too rare. Something needed. So here’s to @vanderkimberly… whose podcast I will unashamedly to plug because – like her – it’s a safe, loving space I think is good to have more of out there in the media world. @bathroomchroniclespodcast 😇 Happy birthday baby.

11 years old today. This is the year we came to realize your sweetness wasn’t just a by-product of youth. That your good-heartedness wasn’t just naïveté. And that your deep-thinking, soulful nature isn’t something you’re growing out of… but growing into. This might sound messed up, but some of the moments in which I have the deepest gratitude for you are when you’re upset: About the state of the world, about your siblings, about me. Because it’s how you process, listen, and work through those feelings that gives me hope for the future. You remain one of my greatest teachers. Thank you for being the family conscience, our class clown, and our heart. I cherish life every time you call me Dad. I love you, bud.
To the best mother I could’ve imagined… not just to our kids, but to all our friends who need some big Earth Mother energy. I hope today you can truly appreciate yourself for even a fraction of what you do for all for all of us – seen and unseen – and soak up the love that we who benefit from your presence wish to shower upon you. You are a marvel. And pure magic. On behalf of the world… thank you for existing, babe. I love you. ❤️ #happymothersday #mothersday
My wife @vanderkimberly and her best friend – world-renowned psychic medium and intuitive healer @peggyrometo – wanted to create a safe place where people could share with the same level of honesty that women have when talking over the bathroom sink. So they started a podcast – independent, homegrown – in the women’s bathroom cabin here on our land in Texas. I was invited in to talk about our late-term pregnancy loss, sharing it with the world via @dancingwiththestars the next day, and enjoying performing again… by surrendering the obligation to perform. @bathroomchroniclespodcast #miscarriage #pregnancyloss #pregnancylossjourney #peace #griefjourney
Happy #PalmSunday, y’all… Special shout-out to my Mom up above for not rushing me into the psychiatrist’s office over my own personal interpretation of the Bible verses read in Sunday School that day. Instead, she framed it 😂
