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 wish for the day

It seems so simple. It is moments like this you wonder how we made it so complicated. It just doesn’t have to be difficult. I am sitting here, coffee in hand, looking out at the ocean as the new day begins.  Nothing complicated about it. Yet it provides everything that one can want or need. […]

Vacation day

Every time I hear her singing, no matter what I am doing, I pause and just take it all in.  But then again, it is Nina Simone. This time the song Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood came on.  Take a moment and get lost in it. That song is her cry for understanding when things […]

Commit and dig in

There we were at Crossfit again. The Crossfit workout was a combination of sit ups, kettle bell swings and wall ball shots. Once it registered with me I just heard myself say…why not. A total of 100 sit ups and 110 kettle bell swings and then 110 wall ball shots. But done in Crossfit ladder […]

One more time

Of all the images I saw  at the inauguration  it was one of the last ones that lingered with me. The President was leaving the platform and then turned back to see the crowd still cheering . He stood there and said that he wanted to take a look since he would never see this […]

My teachers

Age does not matter. It truly is irrelevant. The proof of that reality is what my grandkids teach me every day. I see courage. Refusing to be stopped in wanting to try anything and everything. They are fearless. They see the world as only possibilities. They want to learn. Try. Seek. Do. Whether learning to […]

The quiet, part 2

The quiet seems to have hit a chord. There was a time when quiet was alive and well. There was a time when quiet was better understood. Appreciated. Respected. Cherished. Now it seems that it is just that place you have to get through to arrive at the “important, good stuff” .. Nothing could be […]

The quiet

It was early as I headed out for the morning Crossfit. As my car crossed the expansion bridge I heard some horns honking and saw a few cars cutting other cars off and everyone ,it seemed, was on a phone or texting…whether in a car or on a bike or walking on the street. It […]

A state of grace

It had been quite a while since the Crossfit workout almost brought me to my knees and nausea. I mean they are all challenging and test your very fiber but this one was different. I don’t know why but just was. The 20 minutes ticked off like the clock was broken and only worked sporadically. […]

Digging deep and spreading kindness

As the year winds down, I look back on 2012. What a year of change. Quite amazing how it played out. It didn’t start that way. But it sure is ending that way. Change. It just can’t be denied or avoided. It is a good thing. It prevents us from just phoning in our life […]
