Background- For those who don’t know my background, I trained in the 1990’s under Masters Ron and Dave Joslin. Back then, I tested and received my Jr. Black Belt back in 1998. I stopped training in 1999 when my family and I moved to Utah. I have kept in touch with Sensei Oliver over the […]
I finished reading “You Are Here.” It walks you through the concept of mediation. I feel like even after a year of meditating every day, I still struggle. I have a hard time shutting down my thoughts. Some days are better than others. Overall, I believe I am making progress, but its slow lol. Everything […]
I spent a week in Grand Cayman for a scuba diving trip. It was great weather. The diving was as good a 6 out of 10. I have been very spoiled with my diving lol, I’m a dive snob 😅 There was things to see, we did see the usual, rays, turtles, sharks (Nurse and […]
Ughhhhh…. I had a cough for about a week before my trip, which was March 1st. On my trip, I was fine, no cough, no congestion. I was able to dive and everything was great. Then I got home and the next day the cough came back. I am not sure if its allergies or […]

Today when I got to work, I received a message there were three kittens outside of one of our training offices. I was able to pick them up and transport them to A-Pal. They will be fixed, get their shots and be available for adoption to find a furrever home. Days like this are very […]
Nutrition has always been a struggle for me. I try to meal prep when I can. Sometimes my work schedule or extended hours makes it hard to keep up with healthy eating habits. Now that I am weight training, more than ever I need to balance that with good eating habits. I have been working […]
I started going back to the gym. The goal is to go Monday-Saturday in the mornings. I have been going for about a week now. I am working on physical therapy exercises for my knee and my shoulder. I feel like I am getting stronger day by day. I know I need to pace myself. […]
I sprained my knee about a year ago when I was playing indoor soccer. Luckily, I didn’t miss too much work. However, I did have to make the decision to give up soccer. The knee sprain was my second soccer injury during a three month time frame. And I couldn’t risk another injury and missing […]
