Staring across my cluttered desk, I spotted a elderly gentleman headed toward my office. He meandered across the breezeway to my door. Without knocking, the door slid open and his head poked inside. He looked like the kind of guy that has been retired awhile and has plenty of time on his hands. This is the kiss […]
My goal for you, dear readers, is to take a close look at your life and notice one person today that you take for granted. Then tell them how much you appreciate them. What are you waiting for? Now is a good time… We will wait until you get back to finish this story… Surely […]
Ok, I’m not going to bore you with all of the details of that massive list. But what I will do is bless you with this weeks “highs” and “lows” as the relate to my goals.. As I said before, most lose sight of their resolutions or goals by Valentine’s Day… Ha! I beat the […]
So I’m sitting down in front of the computer, clicking on my daily To-Do list. Gym? Check… Read? Check… Tracked my meals? Check… Well.. Sort of. I mean, that little handful of M&M’s doesn’t really effect me too much… I won’t count them. Oh, and I didn’t call the kids like I should. But I […]
This has been a long, long weekend. Drove some miles. Had a wonderful dinner with my 2 daughters. Had a nice dinner with the in-laws. Had a nice dinner with the parents. Reconnected with some old friends. Said goodbye to an old one. Here’s the skinny… Spend more time on the bicycles. Someone should’ve said […]
Ok, this one is a bit behind on release, but I wanted to be sure to get this one out simply because it is one killer source for relationship how-to’s. Let me introduce you to Keith Ferrazzi, author of the books Never Eat Alone and Who’s Got Your Back. I subscribe to this blog simply […]
Take a quick peek at the dog… What do you see? It’s often said that you have to be flexible, just like the little pup in the picture (which owning one is a goal of mine by the way). This is true with just about any aspect of your life. Being able to plan, strategize […]
Well, overall it was a really good week. Mostly highs, with the occasional low. I’ll cease with the suspense. I know it’s killing ya… Got our bicycles! Took them out over the last couple of weekends! A serious amount of pride inside, knowing that I rode that much and didn’t fall off or break anything! […]
Ok, I know, I know. Seriously dude… Another foodie blog? Well, yes! If it’s a great one, you can bet I’ll share it! And I recommend this one for two great reasons: I love cajun food. The author is an amazing human being whom I follow on Twitter. She’s a great supporter of what I […]
In a conversation with a guy from San Diego earlier this week, we discussed some life-changing concepts. He mostly discussed things that I can focus on in my life to narrow down my goals and remove clutter from my path. More or less a session on how to re-focus my life. Remove what’s not helping […]
Well, it’s been a busy week. And the week to come has a lot in store as well. Back to working on being efficient and effective again! But here’s the run-down on the goals and how they are progressing: Weight is right on track! Not only at 188 lbs, but I’ve managed to stay in […]
This weeks feature is a fun blog that I have really gotten a kick out of following. Are you working with a budget? Are you challenged with the thought that it’s expensive to cook at home? If you cook at home in a cost effective way, you end up eating nothing but Mac ‘N Cheese […]
I’ve been a task-oriented, checklist driven fool for years now. I’ve lived and died by my To Do list in Outlook for what seems like an eternity. Reflecting during some quiet time this weekend, I thought to myself, “Why would you create such a massive list of things to do?”. Seriously. I’d wake up thinking […]
