The night was still. The room was as quiet as quiet could get. The lights were low. The sage incense was burning. The smoke filled the room with an aroma of peace. The feeling was surreal. Was it real or all an illusion. She looked like the young woman …really a girl.. from a bygone […]

You can only leave one thing behind. One item. That's it. Not a collection of things. Not a dresser draw full of things. Just one sole,single thing that would say it all about who you were and what you stood for. What it all meant to you. One thing. You walk through your life. You […]

It happened in 10 minutes. 10. Clapping pushups, kettlebell swings and air squats. Over and over and over and over and…until you were done. Drained, sweat, dripping, light headed and aching. It was grand. What a machine we have. An amazing tool. A crazy connection of bones, tissues, muscles,chemicals, nerves and other stuff I know […]
