Math Ain’t Gonna Get me Down
Math and I have had a love/hate relationship through the years. Back in high school, it was my most feared subject. It was like another language to me and I always felt like it took far longer than my peers to conceptualize. In the rear-view mirror, I probably wasn’t giving myself enough credit. But as…
Cutting the Line
To me, one of the cardinal sins of life is cutting the line. In grand terms, it tips the scales in favor of the individual versus society as a whole. It collapses the very foundation upon which civilization is built. It’s the real-life example of grabbing the proverbial conch shell and yelling to the masses,…
I am a Nerd!
Ok maybe this is no shock to those who have known me for a while but it’s been a bit of a blind spot for me. Or maybe at the tender age of 46 I’m done striving to be someone I’m just not and am embracing the real me. Either way, I am somewhat elated…
Ditching the Crutches!

Happy New Year!
Time to get your proverbial shit together! Fear not, this is not a typical article on 5 ways to get your shit together in the New Year. I would definitely not be the person to write that post. I would be more the person to write the post, how to get it together for maybe…
Home
This past week I had the good fortune to travel back home for a small, off-milestone, high school class reunion. Maybe better said, a small gathering of interested parties. I had been back and forth lately from my home in New Jersey to help my aging mom and this get-together fit perfectly into my schedule.…
New Beginnings
This past year was a scary one for our family. We took a complete leap of faith and moved to a new place. It was an agonizing decision which came complete with many sleepless nights. The fear of the unknown was palpable and this decision could completely dismantle a steady, anchored life. But Jay and…
Finding Energy
Have you had days where you have energy in complete abundance and others where you are struggling just to exist? I have had plenty of instances of both. In my quest to harness the maximum amount of energy each day, I have found resources which differentiate several types of energy and how to recognize deficiencies…
