Watching over the one who matters

The song came on the radio…Someone to Watch Over Me…Linda Ronstadt version. Yes, her voice is amazing. Yes, her phrasing is perfect. Although the song was written in the 1920s, it is one of those ageless and timeless songs. It is as moving today as it was in any other time. Maybe even more so […]

Feel the day

The Crossfit workout was intense. That is the way it was built to be. Afterward, we sat having some green tea and reflecting on the morning adventure. It is not complicated really. We just want to feel the day. Feel the exhaustion. Feel that drain and then  feel the rebirth of energy. The key word […]

A timeless choice

McQueen. Steve, that is. What does the very name signify to you?  Some called him the king of cool. Even today, so long after his death, he can be found everywhere you want to find cool…or own story..or unique…or one of a kind.

Friendship in the day

Today. It seems to get a bad rap. We so often talk about what happened yesterday. We let it linger with us. Fret over it. Let yesterday live on when we need to let it go. We dream about tomorrow.  Yet, it is today that is real. It is this moment, this day, that calls out […]

The magic of the ordinary

I just learned so much over the last few days. Well, maybe it was more like rediscovering part of myself. I learned to appreciate the things that we usually ignore or , even find annoying. But not over the last few days. You see the grandkids were visiting. Sweet and gentle souls. Excited about the […]

Sweat Knows No Age

The morning ritual. For us it is 6:30 am. Workout clothes on. First cup of coffee done. Water bottle filled. Johnny Cash on the radio….the Man In Black. Crossfit is waiting. An hour later, the sweat covers every section of our clothes. The water bottle is drained. You look like you just stepped out of […]

A Call to Prayer

It is the combination, the mixture, the juxtaposition of all the pieces that gets the mind, spirit and soul racing. You hear the call to prayer from the loudspeakers. It is beautiful and compelling. You see the flag waving in the breeze. Red. Crescent moon. Star. You see the crystal clear blue water. The steps […]

The Five Decisions

We sat around the table at a restaurant overlooking the aegean sea. The Turkish riviera. We just flew in from Istanbul after flying in to Istanbul from the airport a hour away from Capadocia. What a day. How do you end up anywhere. How did it exactly happen. Why us. Why here. Decisions of a […]

Use It Up

We stood there exhausted from the Crossfit work out of the day. Dead lifts, box jumps, ring dips over and over as the clock ticked down from 25 minutes to 0. Afterward we sat around talking about why. Why push. Why extreme. Why now. The conversation turned to optimism and pessimism. It turned to always […]
