  • Happy New Year: Make Mistakes All Year Long

    I saw this quote this morning and it is perfect for the new year: “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done…

  • Time Flies And You Are the Pilot

    Thanksgiving has come and gone — I still can’t believe December is here. I love holidays but I also love getting back into the swing of life.  I’m excited about what’s happening in my life — new career opportunities and new paths to follow. I am testing out the theory about letting go and letting…

  • Working The Power Positions

    Now that I am temporarily unemployed, Mondays are a bit tougher for me than normal. I think all the hustle and bustle of the weekend, and being around people feeds my soul, and come Monday -it’s back to being somewhat solitary. I know it’s only temporary, but it’s been tough on me mentally. I am…

  • Take Care of your Health Now!

    Last night, we did our annual pumpkin carving as a family around the kitchen table for Halloween. It’s so funny to see the different personalities that come through as we create our masterpieces. This year I decided to do a CrossFit theme – and created a Strict Shoulder Press image! I think it came out…

  • Asking the Right Questions

    It was a busy weekend full of socializing and family time! Saturday, I helped out with the Grand Opening of Highbar CrossFit in Ashburn, VA. The guys have been open almost six months and it was time to officially welcome everyone. It was a great event – and seeing all the people there, socializing, working…

  • Russell Brand asks Why Not You?

    I gotta say that I love Russell Brand – he’s wacky, screwed up in so many ways, but sharp and smart as a whip and because of that, I just think he’s awesome. He has a way of getting his point across in such a coherent way that hits the point where it counts. I…

  • The More You Know, The More Forward You Can Go

    A friend of mine sent me an email this morning with a paragraph that I didn’t recognize but thought wow, that was well said. Guess what? I wrote it! I don’t even recognize my own writing. Some days it just flows out of me. Which reminds me of something I read that Tom Clancy once said when…

  • How Do You Want Your Kids To See Their World?

    There ain’t no rest for the wicked…even on a holiday, so up I got and headed in for my usual 6A workout. I thought I would be the only one there – but nope, there were three others! Yay but the workout was a tough one, so boo! So, let’s post the workout details so…

  • Jump and a Net will Appear

    Recently someone told me jump and a net will appear — and I have really taken that to heart. In many decisions I have made to help improve things in my life. I decided to get serious about things that just weren’t working out for me and instead of doing what I always do -put…

  • Embrace Change

    Yesterday, I did my second 5K of the season for a great cause –the Joe Cassella Foundation 5K. I didn’t know Joe, but have come to know his wife Gina and she is a very special woman. The gang from CFI Endurance all gathered to run together and it was so fun. It was a…
