  • I Have Some Work To Do

    Another winter storm warning for my county this evening –should be interesting if the kiddos have school tomorrow. I sure hope so because it’s my birthday and I was looking forward to hanging out, some quiet, lunch with a friend. No pressure, no having to take care of anyone during the day. So cross your…

  • Super Bowl Hangover

    I went a bit overboard yesterday during the big game – -ate some wings, had more chips and guacamole than I care to remember. I slept horribly and woke up feeling swollen from all the salt and groggy. It’s not a great feeling… Super Bowl Commercials My two favorite commercials from the Super Bowl were…

  • 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?

  • 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…

  • 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…
