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 […]

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 […]

You can feel it in the air

You can feel it in the air. You just know when it is present. It can’t be described except in terms that are so over used for all the wrong reasons but when it is present it makes you feel better again about our chances to get it right and tell a beautiful story of […]

The new adventure

Some times it is so easy to get lost in the feeling that we are just going through the motions. Add to that some folks who are negative energy and you may feel really lost or lonely. Don’t buy into that. Make a pact with yourself. Enter into a sacred agreement with yourself that you […]
