“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; may your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were … Continue reading Control
PROactive versus REactive
PROactive versus Reactive I may be younger and *only* ran 5 marathons, but here is a little story for you – A few weeks ago, I started experiencing a discomforting, lingering tightness and aching in my left Achilles. So instead of being hard headed, I decided to take wisdom (that we all know and have … Continue reading PROactive versus REactive
First Flight
As a child, were you ever asked, “If you could have ANY superpower, what would it be??” My response: “to FLY!!” I am ecstatic to share that I finally got that opportunity. This is a big deal.

Workaholism
Dear America – prosperity should not be sought after on the outside. No. Listen to me. Prosperity is NOT wrong. It is very, very, good. BUT at what point do we realize that we have been going about finding it the wrong way? Do the ends always justify the means? Or do the means always … Continue reading Workaholism
