I have recently been going through a tumultuous time as I figure out “what I want to be when I grow up”. It’s been as the quote below suggests, a struggle. What do I sell? Who do I sell it to? What’s my goal? Every time I think I [...]
When I present stress workshops I’m often amazed at how many participants do not understand how their body and/or mind responds to stress. I often hear comments such as, “Wow, I didn’t know that was stress.” Even worse, sometimes folks are so blind the response they don’t think they have stress at all. In one [...]
“An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”
- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American Author, Critic and Naturalist

Nothing can stop the person with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the person with the wrong mental attitude. - Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States.

A few years ago, I had a stressful job and waking in the morning was a chore. I was tired, frustrated and a complainer. “I don’t have enough time!” I would say. Commuting, cooking, workouts, cleaning, when was there any time for fun? How could I fit it all in? [...]
