“Your machines came.” I smile through the phone and ask if everything went okay with the delivery. “Umm, it looks like a lot more than you expected.” “Oh serious?” I ask. “I will look at it when I get home.” A few hours later I pull up to my house and open the garage door….

The Epic Journey to Hell Hole Lake
I slam on my breaks and suddenly I am within inches of the car’s bumper in front of me. I can feel my blood moving quicker and the adrenaline coursing through my body. I am instantly enraged, scared, and ravenously hungry all in the same instant. I lay on my horn and the gentleman in…
Mountain Vistas and Blood Donations
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.

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…
Work-Life Balance is a lie
What does it take to “make it” today? Well, what does “make it” mean to you? Do you have an idea, product, or book you are trying to get off the ground? Maybe you have a website based business or investments you are trying to grow and make profitable. It could be having a great…
