I Mostly Thought of You
It was twelve years ago. Our first Valentines was spent beneath the raging torrent of El Niño. She was the boogey weather of the nightly news for months. But she was also real. The flower shop flooded. Customers couldn’t get in and we couldn’t get our orders out. Three days later I was standing beside [...]
Do You Believe in Soul Mates?
Ido not believe in soul mates, at least not by their strict definition. I love my wife more than anything and would trade her for nothing, but I am a practical man who understands that finding true exclusive congruence between two souls from the nearly seven billion on our planet is a mockery of basic [...]
Finding My Friday Again
The helter skelter of the last few weeks has prompted me to run this particular “Deja Tuesday” post. This was originally written sometime back around mid November of last year. Since then “Finding my Friday” has become one of my favorite phrases. It is slightly rewritten to reflect the new year and my new understanding [...]
6 Rules For Remarkable Marital Communication
Communication is the central ingredient to any prosperous marriage. My wife and I work together; our worlds orbiting and intersecting every day of the week, during most of our daylight and all of our dark. This would be a strain on many a couple, yet after a dozen years and two children together (the youngest [...]
The Other Side of the Dashboard
I enjoyed handing the mic to Cindy last week. She enjoyed writing her words and then reading your responses. The last several days has seen one of those stretches where time seemed to fall from the sky with only slightly more abundance than snow in Southern California. Yet despite the chaos of our schedule, Cindy [...]
Necessary to ME
Necessary to Me “A marriage makes 2 fractional lives a whole; it gives to 2 purposeless lives a work, and doubles the strength of each to perform it; it gives to 2 questioning natures a reason for living and something to live for; it will give a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance [...]
Meet Cindy, My Wife
My wife and I wake together each morning and work side by side each day. Our evenings almost always unwind in unison, our breath gradually relaxing until it finally falls into a steady, almost singular rhythm. Still, the magic of our minutes, undiluted together, are rare enough to consider them treasure. Our days are spent moving [...]
Husband, Dad, Writer
Today I have a post about Daisy… but it isn’t here. You might remember Corey from Simple Marriage, who filled this same spot this same time last week. My post on the unwavering faith of marriage can be found there. Thanks to everyone who is playing along with the SEO Content game. Yesterday’s entry “Dad” [...]
How to Have More Time For Marriage With Kids In The Way
This is a guest post from Corey Allan of Simple Marriage dot Net and Parent to Launch dot Com. It’s late in the afternoon and the work to do list continues to pile up. Emails are left unanswered. The new message light is still blinking on your phone. It’s endless. You get home after picking [...]
Lobster Racing
“When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.” ~ Mark Twain 3…2…1… GO! The lobsters skitter across the floor, this time far less interested in playing our little game. The first lobster abandons his lead, then turns around and starts back toward Daisy. “Ahh!” Daisy shrieks, backing out from the [...]

Hi, I'm Sean Platt - author, father, and Creative Director at Rev Media Marketing. Writer Dad is my life as it unfolds. This chapter of my journey began two years back when I took a chance on myself by closing a successful business to pursue my dream of writing for a living. It was the craziest, riskiest and most wonderful thing I've ever done. Well, except for becoming a dad.
