Always evolving, Never Average
It’s the 4th of July which means barbecues and food and booze (not for me but for lots of people) and s’mores (for me) and later than usual nights for lots of kids and fun by the pool (for us) and fireworks. I love the 4th of July. So today’s post is super quick. Just …Read More
On July 1st I issued a challenge to myself and the members of Not Your Average Tribe and then I figured, why not throw it out to everyone here on the blog. Since July 1st was also on a Monday and people like to start new things on Mondays, the challenge was pretty simple. Commit …Read More

I have been trying to lose weight for the last year. For the last 63 weeks, actually. I need to lose weight. In order to be at my healthiest and most comfortable, I really do. If I want to run a sub 4 hour marathon (and that’s still a goal of mine), I need to …Read More
I was listening to Conan Obrien’s podcast a few days ago and he was interviewing Howard Stern. The two of them were talking about their work in the early years of their careers and how they cringe looking back at that stuff. I feel the same way when I go back and read old posts …Read More
I shared this earlier on Facebook today. And I wanted to publish it here for anyone who either missed it on Facebook or who isn’t on Facebook: I LOVE summer, but when the kids are home from school, I panic every year. Working from home, I go into complete freak out mode wondering how I’m …Read More
I am of the mindset that my purpose is to be constantly growing and changing. In order to be the best version of myself and the person I aspire to be, I need to embrace change. We all do. But change is not easy. Easy is doing what you always do. Easy is doing what …Read More
