There was a time when being gracious was a given. For some reason being gracious seems to have fallen on hard times. Winning with grace or losing graciously seems to be a lost art form. Maybe it has to do with having a moral compass. Maybe it has to do with having a noble sense […]

Magic
Magic. Do you believe in it? I don’t mean magicians on TV or in shows. I mean real magic. When you consider it all, our life here is quite magical. Here we are. How did that come to be. The sun rises. The moon effects the tides. Yes, I know there are scientific explanations for […]
Bypass
I had bypass surgery 6 months ago this coming Wednesday. 5 bypasses. I am back at crossfit challenging myself to be more. Testing the limits of healing and the body’s response. I am pushing forward. I realized once again that the gift is fragile. Yet the body and spirit are amazing. We are the ultimate […]
The effort
Crossfit has been part of my life now for quite a while. It has challenged me, pushed me, tested me and kept me healthy and health conscious. After my heart surgery I knew it would be some time to get back to the effort. Slowly that happened. But on this day it was a full […]
The uneven road
The uneven road. It is always there. Life is this uneven road. That is just the nature of the road we travel. Don’t expect a smooth path. Recognize it is uneven for all. Acceptance then permits you to look up, look out and move forward. And time keeps ticking. And the road seems unforgiving at […]

There is always this choice. Every moment of every day the choices are there. Kindness or harshness. Bravery or fear. Courage or hiding. Decency or greed. Love or not. The choices go on and on. Every moment of every moment. And each choice defines us. Each decision writes the story of our life. Each choice […]
The horizon
You have this choice. Being blinded by some obstacle and not being able to see anything else or seeking out the horizon. Seeing past the challenge and difficulty and realizing that the sun will set and will then rise again on a new day. A new beginning. A new possibility. A new chance. When darkness […]
The flight through what matters
The flight yesterday from Miami to Denver was bumpy, rough, long, and intense at moments as the plane bounced around. Then as we circled over Kansas we were told about delays because of weather but we had enough fuel to make the touchdown. It was dark, overcast and quiet on the flight. It is at […]
Plow the field
There is this choice. A very personal choice. Choose to challenge yourself. Choose to risk failure in order to seize the dream….no matter the age or stage in life. A simple word. Choose. How often we compromise the choice. Why? Does it puzzle you? As we are here longer you would think that choice would […]
Before you go
Once before I go. Peter Allen. It is just the best. He was always a favorite of mine. Just totally present. The boy from Oz. Can you look back and accept the journey…flaws, errors, glorious mistakes, grand successes, foot in mouth, golden moments, laughter and tears…without regrets. Can you say you tried your best. You […]
