Life can give us massive blows. We don’t get to write our stories. God does that. When I get down, it is usually because I am discouraged in what I can not see as good. I can’t see where God is going with the plot or even see the full story God is writing. And [...]
We are very neat people, both of us, and because of that we could be tidying and doing projects every second of every day. Failing miserably at connecting relationally we would be organized and task driven but then what is the point of that? I mean really? What is the point? The fact that my counters [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Instead we choose to stay silent around our significant other and our group of trusted peers. Choosing to suffer, to stew, and to be secretive. Let [...]

When uncertainty or tough times come about (and they always do) the winners and leaders take [...]
"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 [...]
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. Almost everything in life takes small steps and time to create waves and impact. Very few people can see instant results and massive accomplishment just [...]
