I had the absolute best week since I last wrote here. I took an amazing road trip through Colorado and was amazed at how beautiful the areas are that I drove through and realized how close they are to me and I had never been there.

The Loss is Actually the Win
I’m opening my eyes and I can tell by the sparse light in the room that it’s still way early. I sit up to see my clock and realize it’s even worse than I thought. 2:34? Seriously? I’m laying in bed and I know I won’t be able to fall back to sleep so I…
The Best Way to Waste Time
My mom lives on 5 acres of paradise in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho. It is surrounded by mountains and farmland and is one of the most peaceful places I like to go visit. Disclaimer: This is only true when my sisters aren’t there. I was just there a few days this past week and…

How do you stay focused during tragedy?
It’s been a couple weeks since I have posted here. I can tell you that I have missed it and I have learned a few lessons at the same time. I am horribly distracted lately by something that is definitely not a tragedy for me. However, it has been such an overbearing presence in my…

What Victory Really Means
The picture above is extremely meaningful to me. It is a simple selfie of my daughter, Zoe and I, but what is most important about it is what you cannot see. Zoe and I have been on so many adventures together as she was growing up and we have had some great memories. We took…
You Will Sacrifice Everything
When I first went into business for myself I had no idea what I was going to be put through. I just wanted to make a little extra money. I knew it was going to be work but I tried to find something that wouldn’t take up all my extra free time. So, I bought…
