Dashiell Llindhe Sattin has arrived! HappyDash.com is born too.
Kudos to you for coming back around – it’s been a long hiatus from blog-ville, though I bet you figured out what was going on in my absence. That’s right…my son, Dashiell Llindhe (pronounced DASH-ul LIN-dee) entered the world in the wee morning hours of January 24th,...
So where've you been? Has your son arrived yet? And how about this dog training stuff?
As I wait for my son to arrive (he was due last Tuesday…still waiting!), I’ve been thinking about where to dive in on this blog. I started writing about Hypnobirthing, the method that Toni and I have been using to prepare for the birth, but somehow that seemed a bit...
Baby is on the way - 150 screws to go! The odyssey of assembling my changing table.
In my family, if you need something assembled, if you need to figure out how to work your VCR, if you need the clock in your car set to the correct hour - you call me. I'm not sure what it is about "assembly required" or "see manual for instructions" that intimidates...
Winning isn't everything...but it feels GOOD! The inner game of tennis.

- Amazing relationship advice whether being single or in a coupleFebruary 1, 2022 by JaninaCostaRica from Canada
Hi Neil, you’re really interesting to listen to. I have been listening to your podcast for quite some time, and also went through a breakup while listening to your podcast. It was so moving and yet interesting to hear you going through your own breakup while doing the podcast. It taught me that breakups don’t have to be bad and that not all relationships can be healed. Thanks for what you do. Please keep the podcast coming 🙂 !
