This concept is more than a New Year resolution - the word serves as a daily reminder to embody and bring to life. "Embodiment is the...

For others, it can be stressful, depressing, or chaotic. How do you...

JumpSTARTRUNNING THE LONG RUN Keep Moving Forward & Transform Through Life TRANSFORMATIONAL THOUGHTS: Hello Reader, "In case there is a loss in cabin pressure...please make sure to secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others." I'm happy to report there was no loss of cabin pressure on either of my flights. For the past two weeks, I have metaphorically had my "mask" on while recovering from the race, election and being slightly under the weather. How was the race? For the dirty...

JumpSTARTRUNNING THE LONG RUN Keep Moving Forward & Transform Through Life TRANSFORMATIONAL THOUGHTS: Hello Reader, Tonight, I attended my first book club in CO. I was familiar with the author, but hadn't read this particular book. I've written/raved about the author's current book, "Hidden Potential" and thought that attending the event would force me to crack open this book that had been on my shelf. The other reason I wanted to attend, was the particular group that was hosting the event -...

JumpSTARTRUNNING THE LONG RUN Keep Moving Forward & Transform Through Life TRANSFORMATIONAL THOUGHTS: Hello Reader, Man, I had fun coming up with THAT subject line!

At that time, it consisted of four hilly loops around...

JumpSTARTRUNNING THE LONG RUN Keep Moving Forward & Transform Through Life TRANSFORMATIONAL THOUGHTS: Hello Reader, "I can't do the pushups for you." This sentence came from an entrepreneur that I follow. As I listened to him elaborate, he said that you can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't take any action, nothing changes. YOWZA! "I don't feel like running. I'm too tired to lift weights. I'll stretch later." You know who said those things? ME. I'm sure all of us have made...
