What do I love more than 30 day challenges? Detoxing. I like the idea of removing toxins from my body. I know that there are some things I need to get better at about detoxes. Like coming off of them. I figure it’s Spring and the time is perfect to kick one off.
The Fast Track Detox is by Ann Louise Gittleman, PH.D. I have been a fan of hers for quite some time. I’ve used some of her essentials, like the water/cranberry cocktails for years. Even implementing only some of her tips will help to stay healthy and feel better. Friends I tell about it absolutely love it.
So I’m on day two of the detox. The first 7 days is considered The Prequel. The eighth day is The Fast. And the last three days is The Sequel.
Why detox? Because it helps my body to function better, higher energy levels, and makes me even more aware of the pollution in my food and environment. I never thought I’d sound like a hippie. Anyways, I’ll post a follow up on results.
Peace, love, and organic.

Winding down from the first annual Dad 2.0 Summit at the Hyatt Lost Pines. It was amazing. Everything from the programming right down to the Dads and their private Facebook group. Hilarious. You should go just to get in on that. They are a very lively bunch and passionate about fatherhood.
I enjoyed meeting everyone I ran across. I’m Dad 2.0′s Media and Technology Director. So basically everything digital, audio, visual, and marketing related. These events are a blast but impossible to completely take in since my feet are just now getting back to normal. There was a lot of walking and a lot of laughing. The founders of Dad 2.0, John and Doug, make a great team.
The sponsor love that was happening this past weekend was awesome. The crossover between LG and Xbox couldn’t have been more perfect. Johnson & Johnson, Honda, and Zatarain’s rocked it out too. Chef John Besh is super cool and I’ll be posting my photo with him as soon as our photographer, Michael, gets them in my hands. The brand panel forum which was an open conversation about brands and dad bloggers working together was in my top three. But probably because the other top two were the keynotes, Guy Kawasaki and Jonathan Fields. I dig Guy’s practical approach to business and life. And Jonathan’s approach to living life and working business mindfully.
Even though a monsoon blew threw that weekend, this event was easily a success.
