Let’s be honest for a minute. I am one of the most competitive people on the planet. I love to win. In fact, for years I’ve told myself the reason I keep running is because I absolutely suck at it and somehow that will teach me that sometimes you do stuff, just to have fun…… Continue reading Winning Matters
And then this happened…
Two months ago, I was diligently taking notes as Dave Hollis educated this pragmatic planner on how I was made for more and how I could get out of my own way. As I scribbled notes, I added pre-order his book to my to-do list and soaked in all of the things that might get…… Continue reading And then this happened…
Here we go…
This post will be short but accountable. It’ll soon be 2-months since RISE Ft. Myers. I’m not going to lie. A series of life changing things have not happened and my universe is not altered. But, sometimes it is the little things that remind me, progress not perfection. After all, isn’t that the very definition…… Continue reading Here we go…
1:400,000,000,000
Mind blown. I can’t believe I didn’t watch Mel Robbins’ Ted Talk about How to stop screwing yourself over sooner. Such a great talk. You must go watch it now! It was referenced at RISE. Yes, this is another RISE follow-up post about my quest to give myself grace and pursue my dreams. It was…… Continue reading 1:400,000,000,000
Hard As F$**
Two weeks ago I was jumping up and down in Ft. Myers dreaming big and owning the word grace. Today, I’m sitting in a dimly lit coffee shop devouring a delicious latte contemplating the complexities of habit forming. Later today, I’ll be purchasing a copy of the Power of Habits for fear my local library…… Continue reading Hard As F$**
Why RISE?
To say I was skeptical is an understatement. This introvert does not embrace large crowds. I struggle to strike up conversation with strangers. Nothing about me would seek out a crowd of thousands. So, when the announcement of RISE Fort Myers came across my newsfeed, my instinct was to scroll. Only I didn’t. Something caused…… Continue reading Why RISE?
Good Enough Folks
Twenty years ago today I rang in the New Year in the control room at KBJR-TV. I had just started my first real job as a journalist and in case you hadn’t heard, there was a fear that the world was going to end on Y2K. Or, at the minimum, ATMs and all other computer…… Continue reading Good Enough Folks
Eight Years Down, A Lifetime to Go
Eight years ago, I overcame my insecurities and lined up for my first timed race in decades. I had decided to become a runner after indulging in too many chips and margaritas, waking up hung over and seriously questioning my unmotivated self. I had just gotten borderline news from my primary care doctor that implied…… Continue reading Eight Years Down, A Lifetime to Go
Say What You Mean to Say
This post is in honor of an extraordinary woman who I had the opportunity to meet by chance. This weekend, she’s fighting her final battle. It was an honor and privilege to know her. And, today I’m reminded of how we never just know how much time we have left to say what we mean…… Continue reading Say What You Mean to Say
Six Going on Sixty!
Jake here again! Mom took a hiatus from updating this blog but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped aging. The last trip around the sun was CRAZY busy. I honestly don’t know how kids have time to be kids now-a-days. Topping the list, I graduated from kindergarten this year with off the chart testing scores. I…… Continue reading Six Going on Sixty!
