The light spot found in the heavy weight

Crossfit and the meaning of a single day. The question keeps swirling around about why this program is so intoxicating. It can’t be just the workout. Yes, it is varied, challenging, different each day, fun and exhausting at the same time  but it has to be more than that. It comes down to a question […]

The small moments that define a day

You couldn’t help but cry. It was painful to watch yet you couldn’t look away. A father talking about his beautiful child shot down. The pain and loss was jolting to your mind, spirit and soul. He spoke of the “little things”. The morning ritual of breakfast. The hug and gentle pat on the back. What […]

A journey to the land of anti-aging

The drive across the country was another adventure. From Delray to Jacksonvilke to Chattanooga to St Louis to Salina to Niwot. The days were filled with the sights and sounds of America.

The wonder

Accepting the uniqueness of each other. Wouldn’t that be refreshing. Too often some just can’t do that and they become some sort of self appointed critic or hall monitor. Never understood that at all. Wouldn’t it be nice to just relax and appreciate the qualities that separate us as opposed to judge those qualities. Today, […]

The one who reveals

One. After all is said and done, it comes back to one. We can’t wait for others to try to solve the riddle. We can’t wait for someone else to provide the solution. It is time for you. Your time has arrived. Forget the age of the birthday. Ignore the calendar. Totally irrelevant. It is […]

The push to be there

We just pushed ourselves. We simply kept at it. Afterward we met a dear friend for a drink and dinner. We shared stories, good wishes, heart felt thanks for being there for each other and gratitude.

A red mustang and a summer night
