I was asked a few years ago by a dear friend to come along side her son while he came into the older elementary ages and into middle school. To just be another voice and another person he could talk to about anything and everything. Also just to have fun and be there [...]
I’ll Hold The Umbrella
Tennis is a fascinating sport. I seldom watch it at home but ironically it is the one thing I leave on the hotel TV when traveling. I love watching all the court staff, ball boys/girls, and referees that surround the 2 marquee players in any given match. There is so much going on before and [...]
Boredom in Marriage
As a lifestyle coach and former athlete I am all about efficiency and schedules. But that can get boring real fast. The pain of regiments and disciplines becomes the pain of regrets. It can become so monotonous to do everyday life that one day we wake up and cry from the dullness. Unaware of how [...]

"Some days I feel like the internet is 100 versions of "strive for greatness!" and "how she's killing the game and you can, too!" and "these are the 64863 things successful people do before dawn." But how about this: you don't have to crush or kill or slay anything today. You don't have to strive [...]
Improve Your Relationship Instantly
As I lifestyle coach and excellence motivator, I am often asked for the quick fix when it comes to a number of issues and situations. Often I don't have it.

Being Present
Screen time is what we call anything from your phone to laptops, TV, movies, gaming systems, and social media platforms. When I say you must break up with your phone I am referring to all of these.

Accountability
This is such a beautiful and vital place to start the conversation on showing up correctly for your marriage. In order to show up correctly, you must surround yourself with people who will hold you to higher standards and push you to achieve more than you could ever think possible. Ruth is one of the [...]
