  • Girl Scouts vs. Health and Fitness

    Today is a much needed rest day for me — I’m sore! Not over crazy sore but definitely a good day to rest. What’s crazy is that I miss the gang though — that’s part of the draw about CrossFit. You want to go workout because you miss your pals if you don’t! So last…

  • What is your INTENTION?

    In this world, there’s always going to be people who are better then you, so stop comparing yourself to others, and just be the best you can be. How true this quote is. We all have met the person who is first in line to point out a mistake or misstep someone took — but…

  • The Spanx Woman is Worth A Billion!? My Key Takeaways. Altucher Confidential

That’s why they buy hundreds of millions worth of form-fitting Spanx every year. And now Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx is worth a billion according to Forbes.…

  • This is what Sportsmanship Looks Like

    When There’s More To Winning Than Winning It was senior night, and the loudest cheers went to Cory Weissman, No. 3, 5 feet 11 inches, a team captain — especially when he walked out onto the court as one of Gettysburg’s starting five. Yes, he was a captain, but it was, you see, the first…
