Always evolving, Never Average
I am leaving 2018 way healthier than I entered it. I am in much better physical shape, I am lighter, I am leaner, I am stronger, I am faster, I am wealthier, I am happier, I am more disciplined, more organized, and focused. I turn 50 in 2019, and I feel like I am just …Read More
