It is always there. Sometimes lurking. Sometimes kind of even expected . But not. The unexpected. Not have to be bad or good. Just not anticipated at that moment in time or in your life. The accident. The injury. The wrong turn. The right turn and happy surprise. The good news. The sudden sad news. […]

The deep
The deep. The connection between us must go deep. There seems to be surface living today. Almost hit and run connections. Rushing someplace else. Looking away. Texting in the middle of calls. What would it feel like to put away the distractions and be present with yourself and with one who matters. I have been […]
True north
We all need a true north. A core belief that gets us through the dark moments. A moral compass when confronted with challenges of all shapes and sizes. I have come to believe it is a sense of personal meaning for how we spend our time here. It seems that contentment is a by product […]
The river
It is the same but different. The river flows. It is there. It is always the same yet always moving and different from moment to moment. Time is like the river. The same but different. It flows. It is always moving. And we travel in it. We are passengers in the river of time. It […]
The hero’s journey
We are all on one. Each of us. There is always a challenge. An obstacle. Sooner or later we are confronted with it. Our moment of truth. Are we victim, observer or hero. It is so easy to turn away. But we must not. We must face our challenge. There is that high noon moment. […]
Hour of the Wolf
The clock ticks. So choices must be made. Decisions occur. Consequences result. Let go of the old…it is of no purpose. Release the successes and failures….they are in the book so to speak. Reframe and refine what you mean to you and what you want to mean to those who matter to you. Then just […]
A state of grace
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 […]
