I want to share with you some news. I just released a book,\u00a0Living a Life of Yes: How One Word Can Change Everything.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0More than a book, it documents a change in my life trajectory.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been reading in this space, you know a couple of years ago I adopted a word of the year. That word was \u201cYes.\u201d \u00a0I thought it would be easy, a simple and carefree way to live.<\/p>\n

But as I found out, \u201cNo\u201d had a powerful hold on my life. It represented a crutch of safety and a wall of comfort against the uncertain. It protected my time, my money, my resources. But \u201cno\u201d also stripped me of curiosity, discovery, and wonder. It kept me from the experience of God\u2019s blessing.
\n\"\"Saying \u201cYes\u201d to every opportunity put in front of me has been a monumental, life-changing decision. I\u2019ve discovered the joy of walking into the unknown. I\u2019ve met people and traveled to places that my wildest dreams never took me:<\/p>\n
