  • Be Thankful for The Difficult People

    Earlier this week I found out that someone that I am not fond of has been hired to do some work at one of the company’s that I am doing consulting work for.  When I said I am “not fond of”, It’s really not even close to covering how much I would prefer never seeing…

  • Are you Magnesium Deficient?

    I got so busy yesterday that I forgot to post – I try to sit down every morning and write. It’s a way for me to reflect and relax but yesterday was kind of a crazy day. So, here I am back at it again today. I’ve started to really focus on my marketing consulting…

    Know the Symptoms of a Magnesium Deficiency

    After working on a specific strength program for 12 weeks at Highbar CrossFit, the time has come to test and see the progress. Yesterday, I got a 5# PR on my Squat clean. Today – my back squat! PR’d by 10# to end at 220# although I think I could have done more – ran…

  • Clearing the Clutter

    The kids are finally in school and the house is quiet. I just want to sit here and enjoy the silence. As much as I love my kids and being able to spend extra time with them, there is definitely a need for space. For their benefit and mine. Enough was enough. I was able…

  • Inspiration to Start Your Weekend

    I’m not sure if I have mentioned but I am leading a wellness challenge at Highbar CrossFit. I am far from perfect when it comes to complete and utter wellness, but I sure as heck have enough experience and knowledge to help others navigate as they learn what works for their body. It’s been a…

  • Musings for an Ordinary Day

    Holy cow it’s cold – the thermometer said 4′ on the way to the gym this morning.  I am really wanting to go to San Francisco and meet my nieces. Seeing the pics of them is tough because I know it will be a while before I get to actually meet them in person. I…

  • Are You Drinking Enough Water?

    Kids are home and I found out they will be home for the rest of the week thanks to Mother Nature. I am all for being around my kids, but there comes a time when we all need some distance from one another –like this week! One of the nutrition challenge extra asks last week…

  • Snow Day Means Fun For the Kids

    An impending snow storm has the kids at home again and allowed me to spend some extra time after my workout to work on mobility and have time in the sauna. My hips flexors have been hurting for a few days. I have never had issues before with them quite like this, so I’m not…

  • Perspective Changes Everything

    Let’s talk about Perspective for today.  How you see the world is in your hands and can make all the difference in you life. People who can really  change the world for the good, like the late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr did, filter their day with hope, resilience and passion. Imagine waking up each…

  • Moving On & Simplifying Your Life

    This has been a really long week – lots of great things, lots of life happening. I can honestly say I am finally starting to feel better about everything – my spirits are re-igniting. It’s about friggin’ time too. I don’t like to be in the dumps and the people around me don’t appreciate it…
