On Sunday 1.31.21, I was out for a run and it was a beautiful day. I was not particularly excited for the run, as I had stayed up til almost 3am gaming on Ark: Survival Evolved and was dragging but the beauty of the day got me going. I was enjoying my run and thinking... Continue Reading →
Well, it seems we all made it through the craziness that was 2020, whether it was fairly easy sailing or by the skin of our teeth...or both. We survived. I'm not going to go into a long look back at 2020, but there was good, there was bad, and there was a LOT of indifferent... Continue Reading →
"If you want to win anything - a race, yourself, your life - you have to go a little berserk." - George A. Sheehan I haven’t blogged much this year. I haven’t done a lot of what I normally do this year. 2020 was the beginning of a new decade and I thought it would... Continue Reading →

If you’re like me, it’s taken a bit of time to solidify your habits, routines, and processes for the new year. I would dare say most of... Continue Reading →
True to my 2019 Challenge to not have ANY Cocoa-Cola, I ended the year the way I had planned on last New Year's Eve, by having Coke to celebrate the New Year. Greg ended up finding a case of Mexican Coke (made with cane sugar, not corn syrup like the US version) at Sam's Club... Continue Reading →
This past year of 2019 has taught me a lot. I have learned how to be myself, how to deal with pain and how to slow down. I have become much more mindful of what I say, what I do and what is important to me. And even though I wasn’t physically able to hit... Continue Reading →
This morning I was listening to a video on Impact Theory with Marisa Peer talking about how the way we think about things determines how successful (or unsuccessful) we are in regard to things we want for ourselves. I have long known that finding the root cause of where the stories we tell ourselves come... Continue Reading →
