Every time I race in a triathlon, I learn something new about myself. Sometimes it’s a revelation about my character, sometimes I learn lessons about how I perceive people I don’t know, but most times I learn there’s always opportunity for improvement. Even though a triathlon is made up of three sports (Swim,Bike,Run – in [...]

If They Can Do It, I Can Do It…
In yesterday’s post I said this phrase… If I can do it, You can do it. But I got to thinking… I didn’t know I could do it… until I saw someone else do it. I don’t want you to think of all the things I do in my life that I just go out [...]

Influencing People To Go Beyond Themselves
I’m changing the focus of my blog a little bit. I say a little bit because this is the direction some of my posts seem to go…. That is… Influencing People To Go Beyond Themselves. You see… over the past several months, when it comes to my blog, I have felt a little disjointed. When [...]

Social Media In Moderation
When I first got into blogging, I found the whole experience to be fascinating. I couldn’t believe I could write about anything I wanted and that other people would randomly find it online using searchable words on Google. Then they would actually read and comment. I know, it must sound a little geeky for some [...]

The Wonder Of Pikes Peak At Sunset
Standing at 14,115 feet, Pikes Peak is a wonder to look at. It’s one Colorado’s 54 fourteeners. One of my favorite parts of living in Colorado Springs is watching the weather change daily over this beautiful mountain. It can change in minutes or it can sit with the same look all day long. But there’s [...]

Two Steps To Transitioning Into Thin Air
I’ve been living in Colorado since June 1. The transition process has been fun, exciting and completely exhausting all at the same time. But it’s what I’ve expected. My schedule is out of whack, time is a commodity and there’s always something else to work on. In order to keep a little sanity in my [...]

How I’m Transitioning Into A New Life
Over the past few weeks I’ve been transitioning over to life in Colorado Springs, CO from life in Franklin, TN. Literally, I did it in two trips. Two 20-hour drives broken up by visits with family along the way. Even though is been hectic and busy, it’s been fairly smooth. It’s given me a chance [...]

I’m Moving To Colorado
I’m not really sure how to write this post. It’s taken me three days to get to this version… I wrote a version that was very detailed and emotional, but honestly… it was a little too much for me. So I’m just going to throw it out there and go into greater detail about some [...]

Thank You
Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 41. I’m not much for big gatherings around my birthday. Last year we had a great party for my 40th which was a blast, but most of my birthdays have been spent on the road with very little fanfare. Especially from me. I’m not sure why that is, but [...]

The Weekend Is Here!
I woke up today. Opened up the blinds to let the sunshine into my little cottage of a house, turned on the highlights of the royal wedding and thought about the weekend ahead. I’m excited! This is a great weekend to be in the Franklin / Nashville area. The Country Music Marathon is tomorrow and [...]

Why Facebook and Twitter Are The Social Search Engine
Google has long been considered the mac-daddy of all things Internet and Search Engine. “Just Google it”… and you can learn about anything you want. It’s why a few years ago Google changed their search engine to scan more blogs for updated and current content than traditional websites. The most recent content (opinion, news, tweets, [...]
