I have found that I have an incredible superpower – which I share with a LOT of people. The ability to talk myself out of pretty much anything in a single bound. It’s amazing really. This power is big, loud and always present. Want to try a new exercise routing *pow* “you …
It took me 40 years (give or take) to understand, identify and immerse myself in what I consider my calling. The pieces all came together and I see clearly how it is the perfect combination of my passions, strengths, challenges and dreams. It wasn’t an easy journey but, damn, it was worth it. One of …
I am glad the NBA finals are over, not that I don’t like basketball, I do. I was just over all the things outside of the actual play of ball. At the beginning of the series someone told me that the Spurs were going to win because that is what they wanted, and they always …

There is a reason I do not go to the gym. It is not because I don’t like working out, I do. I just don’t need other people hearing me make deals with certain body parts or curse at the evil treadmill or weights. This morning I tried to up the jog on the …
This weekend my garage and house kicked my butt. A full day cleaning the garage culminating in completely packing an Expedition to the brim of things to get rid of and another trip planned to the donation store. The back of my property is on an easement – it is the unclaimed land. Not really …
Yesterday I was on the phone with a business partner discussing an opportunity in another state while my son was visiting. I wasn’t sure what he was doing during the call other than keeping the dogs occupied, which I appreciated; but it turns out he was listening intently. I found this out after the call …
It is a cruel, cruel world sometimes. You can do all the right things and feel like you are being punished, ignored, looked over or penalized. This falls into the category of “well that’s just not fair.” No, it is not. But it happens. Although I accept the premise that it is not fair that …
