    I write this blog. It does not represent anyone else's opinions or perspectives. Regardless of employers or clients or any other associations, this is my blog and it does not speak for anyone else. I have learned that perception is more powerful than reality. So, we get to experience the joys of claiming and disclaiming. Isn't that super!

The injury bug hits another late 20′s athlete.

This time it happens to be my younger brother, Tim.  And, I do not envy his injury.  Tim, our prayers are with you for quick healing. Fortunately, I got to see his game last week.  Unfortunately, there will not be any more.  I can relate to ending my competitive basketball career about 6 or so [...]

What do I do when stuff just isn’t right?

This morning I’m spending time alone, sitting by the water, relaxing.  I already went for a little bit of a drive.  Yesterday I spent a bit of time cleaning and mentally refreshing. What am I talking about?  I’m talking about when you feel like you just woke up from a nap on the weekend, in [...]
