today is the day
A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips. We’ve heard the phrase before. Especially when our gym partner slaps a donut from our hand. I’m not here to talk about diets, though. What I am more interested in is if we consider this reality in our daily lives. The Python Was… Continue reading Was it Worth It?
Wherever you find yourself reading this—maybe you are holding a hot dog under the fireworks—I wonder if you worry about your next meal. Not just a food picture worthy of the gram… I am asking if you ever wonder what you would do if you had to beg for food? The Encounter This Sunday I… Continue reading I Was Hungry, And You Fed Me
The motto is so real, but is it so worth it? Yes, we only live once. But YOLO can mean one of two things: you only live once, so do something you have never done before (that might be idiotic or embarrassing); or it can mean you only live once, so make mindful choices that… Continue reading Do You Really YOLO?
We are all about the selfie stick. Instagram paints the picture we want people to see. And Facebook tells them how to feel about us. It is all on the surface. But, what’s actually happening underneath it all? I started 2017 reflecting on many different areas of my life like relationships, hobbies, and priorities. It… Continue reading Stirred But Never Changed
A couple weeks ago I was sitting inside a Miami Beach restaurant with some friends over a shared dessert. Let’s call it girl talk. One of the girls brought up the book Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant. The next day I saw the book on the first page of a bookseller’s website.… Continue reading Learn Resilience Before the Trial
When I last took my Pomeranian to the vet, I was told he was a couple pounds overweight. For us a few pounds over are hardly noticeable. But for a three-year-old pom, it could mean joint problems in a few years. So I did what any sensible pet owner would do. I put him on… Continue reading Spoiled by the Microwave
Every night of the week I pack my workout clothes into a small black tote. It is labeled “Fresh” and it hangs off one corner of my bed, ready to be loaded into the car the next morning. That is about the only motivation I need to get myself to the gym. The same is… Continue reading Motivation, where are you?
A week ago I published my first blog post in nearly a year. Can you believe we are nearly one-third through 2017? Where did time go? It is insane to think about how quickly time can pass. And also to realize how fast we lose track of why we started. So I have taken the… Continue reading Where Did Time Go?
Has it happened to you that you're minding your own business, and suddenly a revelation hits you so hard that you never saw it coming? For me, it was this weekend when I started to really think about what I value. Not what I say is important to me, but what my time says is important.… Continue reading What My Time Says I Value
There was something different about my car when the valet brought it up to me this past Sunday. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something was off. I began adjusting the seat, the rear-view mirror, and pressing buttons until I could figure it out. Was something missing? In that time I began noticing… Continue reading Take the Wheel and Drive
