As I clocked past mile five on my early morning run this past week, I was thinking about how much I actually enjoy running. While cycling is my first passion, there is nothing like the feeling after a long run to boost the mood. The runners high we so desperately seek comes like a wave [...]

As I shoved the last winter sweater in my bag, I looked up to realize I still had to make room for my toiletries that were sitting in the bathroom. Somehow I always seem to underestimate the amount of baggage space I need when we go home for the holidays. The long sleeve shirts, pants [...]

The moment finally arrived. I scraped together my hard-earned pennies and headed to the Apple Store last week to buy my latest technological gadget –the iPad 2. I’ve been drooling over the little tablet for a little over a year now, and figured next to having my own little R2D2, the iPad would be my personal assistant [...]

I am not much of a morning person. I’m one of those people who doesn’t really come to life or respond to questions until I have had my morning cup of coffee and at least a couple of hours to get my head in the game. My wife laughs at me as I stumble around [...]

I got an email recently that compared these posts to an episode of The Wonder Years. In this classic show with Fred Savage, the character Kevin was a teenager going through life. Typically at the end of each show, Kevin would break down the lessons he learned from the situations he lived through. Just like [...]

Last week I was sitting in the middle of another strategic planning meeting that seemed to be dragging on a little too long. It was one of those meetings where little topics of discussion took center stage and we had to bring conversations back on track. It’s horrible I know, but I am so A-D-D [...]

As I climbed on board the prop plane and slid across the hard metal bench that lined the fuselage, I began to tremble. I started to question my sanity and my judgment. I wondered how safe the airplane was that would take me up into the blue sky above. I prayed that we would make [...]

“On a scale of one to ten, how happy are you with your life right now?” The stranger on the other end of the telephone asked me a question that no doubt made me stop in my tracks and think for a few seconds. It’s not something that I think about every day, but apparently [...]
Like many people I begin each year with a bit of soul searching. I look back on the previous year and take a mental snapshot of the progress I have made since the same time 12 months ago. I have to admit that the older I get, the more lack of progress I notice. I [...]
