As I write this, I wish we were connecting over a cold Corona or knocking back a cool kombucha. Except we're not. I know nothing more about the coronavirus than what is being shared by the media; I won't even go there. On the other hand, I've been observing how, why, and where people connect for most of my life. We are in a global crisis that is threatening our ability to ... View Post
Don’t Quit. Not Today, Anyway
Don’t Quit I don’t know who needs to hear this and honestly, I’m probably writing this to myself. Don’t quit. Don’t give up on that thing you’ve been working on.

Empower Yourself with Exercise
Good morning! Today I just want to send a reminder of the importance of exercise. I know when it gets real cold & life gets real busy it's easy to get out of our exercise routine. But today I want you to make a conscious effort to get SOMETHING in. By mid week if we have not gotten in a good workout the chances of saying "oh I'll start Monday" only increase.
