Merry Christmas to all! As we reflect on this special time of year, we are reminded of how important the time we spend with family is. Family can mean many things. Family is, obviously, our blood relatives first but can certainly be any person or group of persons that we care about and share experiences … Continue reading “Christmas Time with the Fam”

It is Christmas time. I love this time of the year. I get to see family I have not seen for a long time. I enjoy eating great desserts and lavish meals. We see x-mas lights around town.

I use to be one of those people who HAD to have earbuds if I went for a walk/run or if I went to the gym. On walks I would listen to podcasts. For runs and workouts I had specific playlists. Having something to listen to was more of a necessity than warming up was! … Continue reading “Embracing The Silence”

I recently joined the 21st century and paid for a premium subscription to Spotify. I’m a Gen Xer. That mean’s I’ve long resisted paying for anything online that I can get for free. However, I think that’s a 20th century mindset. Even though I get frustrated with paywalls there are products that justify the money. … Continue reading “Unleash The Beast with Music”

I was drinking my good earth tea in the morning when I read this writing on top of the tea bag. “May you always do what you are afraid to do” by unknown. It seemed the perfect fortune for me. I have been afraid of this black belt test since it had been introduced that … Continue reading “A Message In A Cup Of Tea”

About two weeks into the challenge and I find myself pressed for time. I had a plan in mind, but the execution isn’t quite right. I am either hyper focused on the goal or I get completely wrapped up in work, family, etc and time is flying by. I tell myself its just an adjustment … Continue reading “Week 2 Blues”

This past week I have been feeling really sick and that has really affected my progression in my test. I couldn’t get any miles in, I could barely do any push-ups or crunches, I couldn’t really do kata, and it was a little harder to get my acts of kindness in. Luckily I was feeling … Continue reading “My sick week”
