Back from a 2-Week Travel!
It's good to be back in Colorado! I did a road trip to Utah, stayed there for two weeks... And didn't see a single sick or dying person. I saw a lot of people walking their dogs, drawing on the sidewalks with chalk, and living life. Dan flew to Utah for a weekend to...
What’s Your New Vision?
Everyone’s having their own unique “reaction” to corona. At first I was mad…because people couldn’t see the big picture of what was going on. (Story of my life.) But then I decided, “Being mad isn’t helping ME.” So I let it go. Then I was sad…because ignorance is...
When you’re half asleep, you assume all kinds of crazy sh#it to be true (Utah Earthquake!)
This morning there was an earthquake in Utah! We felt it. I was deep in sleep, then the bed started shaking...the whole house shook for about 20 seconds! "WTF?" In a half slumber, I couldn't process what was happening. I wondered if it was the washing machine going...
True Colors Showing Themselves! (Coronavirus Rant)
I count can on one, maybe two hands, the number of business owners who have created unique, helpful content during this corona nonsense. All of the helpful ones are saying things like this: "Don't cave into fear." "It will be all right." "Get back to work." All the...

Positive Habit Formation!

Extraordinary Self-Care
A lot of the world's problems could be solved if people took better care of themselves. When you start looking to others to take care of you...you're f#cked. Nobody can do your workouts for you. Nobody can eat a proper diet for you. Nobody can get sufficient sleep for...
No Time to Waste! (RIP Kobe)
Three years ago -- January 26, 2017 -- Dan and I had our first date at Caribou Coffee, followed by dinner at R Taco in Westminster, CO. It was an instant perfect fit. We spent the whole night flirting, talking, and later making out. He spent two months courting me. (I...
Create Your Own Future
There's a great quote from the book, How the Mighty Fall by Jim Collins: "...it's far better to create your own future repeatedly, than to wait for external forces to dictate your choices." (p 27-28) Amen. I love that quote. Being an anti-marketer is a great way to...
