A culture. A philosophy. A way of seeing the world. A view. Your take on it all. As we sat sipping wine at the wonderful Villa Mandarin just outside of Fethiye, Turkey, we witnessed a view of life that was so refreshing. First, it was a view of life. Not stuff, possessions, things, acquisitions or […]
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 […]
Living a Life that Counts
How to explain any of it. How to process any of it. Maybe just describing it is the starting point. Istanbul. The history. The authentic feel. The busy streets. The timelessness. The agelessness. We have been here five days now. From Topkapi Palace to the Blue Mosque to the Grand Bizaar to the corner restaurants […]
What Can You Do with 7 Seconds?
13 minutes and 7 seconds. Each second was relevant. Each second counted. Each second had meaning. Crossfit. 100 of this, 21-15-9 of that and that and the other. Done in 13 minutes and 7 seconds. Now we are off to Istanbul. Each minute and each second has meaning. Purpose. Not just in pushing yourself to […]
Seeing Beyond the Bullseye
What is the target. What exactly are you shooting for. What are you aiming to hit. What is the bullseye in the center of your shot. Why did you even pick up the bow and arrow in the first place. Is it about acquiring stuff. Is it about winning something. Is it finding the hidden […]
Crazy Good CrossFit at Any Age
You’re kidding me. That was the first thought that came to mind. You got to be kidding me. How many rope climbs. How many rowing sprints. How may sit ups. How many kettle bell swings. How many push ups. In what period of time. You got to be kidding. After it was over it all […]
Maybe That is Why I Love the Rain
The rain came down in buckets. It was exquisite. The sky just opened up and sheets of water kept falling. The ground got super soaked. The pool became an eternity pool. The flowers turned their brightest colors. And then, suddenly, it stopped. The sky became empty of rain. Do you remember the first heavy rain. […]
Each Day is a Creation of a Remember When
How do you measure a good day. How do you define a good day. What makes up a perfect morning. Or afternoon moment. Or late night get away. Today it was morning coffee while listening to The Band. “The Weight” always takes me on a journey. Then a Saturday Crossfit that got the heart racing…push […]
The Seriousness of a Silent Moment
Can you sit in silence. Can you just let your mind wander aimlessly. Not trying to figure anything out or resolve any issue. Just sit in silence and take it all in. The exquisite moment. Do you appreciate that that silent moment will never be again. You just being with you. No noise. No chatter. […]
