  • Approaching the World with Good Intentions

    I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the effects of how you see your world has on how situations play out in your life. I had a discussion with my brother over the weekend about kindness and approaching things with the idea that everyone around you has good intentions when they do what they…

  • Christmas Eve – Be Happy

    Here we are – Christmas Eve. I have a ton of wrapping to do and I will try to be in the holiday spirit. Sometimes I think these holidays do more damage to people than help. People get cranky, some kids forget how lucky they are and become greedy little brats, everything is rush, rush,…

  • The Fountain of Youth is No Secret

    I have been having some issues with my right trap and shoulder for a while now. Anything overhead seems to aggravate it and being stubborn – I have been ignoring it, working through it and continuing on doing some mobility daily to loosen it up.

  • Five Years

    Five years ago today.   Hard to believe that it’s been FIVE years since Scott had colon cancer surgery to remove half his colon and we started to live a life beyond cancer. Looking back, so much has happened during the past five years but yet it was all just life. A different life than…

  • Seeing Crystal Clearly

    It must be the spring weather and the extra sunlight but I am feeling better and more optimistic —and seeing things clearer. Or at least that’s how I feel today.  And I am feeling more empowered to take charge and control of certain aspects of my life that are out of whack. I feel good…

  • CrossFit Means Family
