The path is long

My last couple of years have been full of less. I have cut out the unnecessary in so many areas. I gave up hobbies, I gave away possessions, I stopped all things that I could think of that didn’t serve my goals. My goals in the areas of family, career, knowledge, and fitness. If an…

Can you do more in the transitions?

Triathlon Season 2018 – It Begins

Eating elephants and conquering huge goals

Have you ever heard the quip that says, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” We have heard it. We have heard other things similar to it. We hear this kind of advice all the time. Little words of wisdom that are suppose to help us navagate our lives more easily,…
