Monday Morning Motivation

I had a dream last night that I was teaching class and could not do a pushup.  Even when I tried to do one on my knees I couldn't do it.  I felt weak.  And I hate feeling weak.  Been there, done that. I truly do empathize when people tell me they are afraid of …

Don’t Be a Rookie On January 1st!

Today is December 7th and there are 24 days left in the year.  Many people (rookies) wait until January 1st to start their New Year’s Resolutions.  And while that seems like a pretty good date to turn over that new leaf, begin anew, etc.  I’d like to challenge you to make one healthy change to …
