Life is What You Make It
Last week as a major snow storm swept across the country, I logged into Facebook and found myself reading through my friends posts complaining about how cold it is, how much snow they got, how they can’t get out of their driveway, or how long it took for the snow plows to get to... »
Act Your Age
I have heard people say that you are only as old as you feel. There are people in their 60’s who start feeling bad for themselves because they are getting older and slowing down. But there are also people in their 80’s who downhill ski 50 days a year. It is truly amazing how some... »
Biggest Loser
The popularity of the recent television show ‘The Biggest Loser’ is amazing. What an excellent concept for a show. I am not a reality show fan but this particular one is changing people lives and motivating people at home to make major changes also. A couple of months ago when I was still going through... »
Time vs. Money
It is often said that ‘time is money’ but isn’t it interesting that it doesn’t work the other way around. You can sell your time for money but your money won’t buy time. Children are the best reminder of how time is quickly slipping away. My girls are growing up so fast they seem to get bigger... »
Where is the Cheese?

The Law of Attraction
In recent years The Law of Attraction has gained a great deal of attention mostly due to the success of the book and movie “The Secret“. I will not try to explain it to you since there is plenty of information available online about this fascinating law of the universe. What I am going to... »
Career Changes
Many experts suggest that the average person will have 5 to 7 different careers in their lifetime. Actual statistics are hard to come by since there is no agency actually collecting and measuring that data. However, a change in career is inevitable. Our parents and grandparents worked one job for 40 years all for one... »
Big Decisions
When I was 18 year old I wore bowling shoes everywhere I went, skipped school to grab lunch at McDonald’s, and jumped off a bridge. Did you do anything stupid when you were 18? I bet you did. At 18 you can’t see past the end of the week and don’t really think out... »
Time Doesn’t Wait
I started growing my hair long during my senior year of high school. I followed that with a beard as soon as it started growing in enough that I didn’t look like a fool. I had the pony tail and goatee throughout my ski bum and college years. But that came to a screeching halt... »
