The Ageless Experiment

The word of the day. They decided to start a new tradition. Each morning they would each pick a word. One word. But it had to be a positive one. No negative word or dark word. The word that was chosen each day was to be that day's mantra. They each wrote their word down […]

Creation. Do you have the power of creation. Can you create heaven on earth. Can you create the world you choose to live in. Heaven or hell. Can we create a daily heaven. Does it come down to a choice. If free will does exist. If that is what it was all about…free will. Can […]

His stride down the courthouse hallway was slower than I had remembered it but then again I hadn't seen him in years. More labored. More plodding. More steps but less activity.

The expansion bridge appeared higher and longer as the bicycles approached it from island side. We had tried it before but it felt different this time. This time we just knew we would make it there and back. 15 miles over and back over the bridge. As we got to the highest spot on the […]

Burpees. Over and over and over again. Running, jumping rope, kettle bell swings, sit ups, vertical jumps. And that was all before 8 am. And so the day begins. Seize it. Slide in kicking up the dust.
