  • 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…

  • Think About Your Social Legacy

    I’ve been really reflective the past month or so – thinking about life, my own place in the universe, how I relate to others, and the frailty of life in general. Not sure why all of the sudden – maybe because some change in my own life or seeing friends lose someone close to them.…

  • Is Chivalry Dead or Is It Just About Manners?

  • 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…

  • Focus on The Process Not The Goal

    Second day of the new year – My kids head back to school for two days, life resumes the routine. I’ve been thinking about what I want to work on this year. I dont like to set goals per se – I’ve never been big on setting Resolutions. As I have found out, life throws…

  • 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…
