New Blog - Exploring Beyond the Horizon

-
"If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."
-LDS Articles of Faith

The purpose of this new blog is to be able to share my personal insights and observations as I move forward with the next phase of my life after my faith transition from the LDS Church. This is largely for my own benefit as I do not think my personal insights are likely any more insightful than anyone else's.  But to the extent it benefits anyone else, then that's great.

The blog title "Exploring Beyond the Horizon" reflects my desire to seek out new perspectives and experiences to expand my current view of the world beyond the limits of my current paradigms.  (It was also chosen because almost any other title I tried using the word "horizon" was already taken.) I intend to explore lessons learned from various religious and philosophical traditions and other influential individuals in the world.

I love this quotation from Richard Rohr, a Franciscan friar in the Catholic church, which summarizes well my current frame of mind: 

 "Without new experiences, new thinking is difficult and rare. After a new experience, new thinking and behavior comes naturally and even becomes necessary."

 I am excited and optimistic about what the future holds.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act - Personal Income Tax Changes

-
  On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) which includes several provisions that impact taxes and spending.   Whenever I tell people I'm a CPA, I get a lot of questions about taxes and usually push back that tax is not my area of expertise. This is true - I've never done anyone's taxes other than my own and am not a tax expert. I do, however, have a basic understanding of our tax code and a natural curiosity when there are significant changes in tax legislation.  I've also seen a lot of mis-information being shared online - which is likely in part due to the fact that our US tax code is unnecessarily complicated.  Here's my summary of the most prominent personal income tax provisions of the OBBBA. These are largely sourced through Google Gemini AI , do not cover non-tax spending provisions of the bill and do not include my own personal opinions on the bill (maybe I'll do a separate post on that). 1.

My stance on the "controversial" social issues

-
I've seen a lot of political discussions in the last week in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, an outspoken and controversial conservative activist.  This has caused me to reflect on what my current positions are on the "controversial" issues.  Over time, my political stances have shifted from my conservative upbringing, but I don't think any of my political positions are as set in stone as I used to believe they were. Does anyone probably care about my current political beliefs? Eh, maybe not.. but this is more of an exercise for myself to write out and try to clarify for myself what my current stance is on various issues. Gun control The US has far too many gun deaths compared to other countries.  Part of this stems from mental health issues as well as the breakdown of families and community support that lead to self-inflicted gun deaths, gang violence, and other forms of violence like school shootings. A large part of the problem, though, seems to...

Thrive Day 2019

-
Today I attended a conference in Salt Lake called Thrive, which a group dedicated to providing healing, joy and community to those who have or are transitioning from Mormonism. (See website here ) Deconstructing one's faith system can be an incredibly emotional and challenging experience that is often referred to as a "dark night of the soul." In processing the grief associated with losing one's beliefs, there can be significant anger, frustration and pain in learning new things that contradict the narratives you always accepted as true. Many have feelings of being lost, confused, broken and often have no one they can safely turn to. Doubt is seen as a disease and loved ones that want to help either don't know how to help, are eager to bear their testimony at them, and try to "fix" them rather than seeking understanding.  And in all honesty, when someone is in the "anger" stage of grief, they are difficult to talk to and frequently make mista...
