You Will Be Disappointed…And You Will Live
One of the most important things we can teach our kids is to be resilient, to bounce back better and stronger than before, with a bit of self-knowledge or one of those essential life lessons under their belt and the ability to handle disappointment the next time it knocks on the door, as it inevitably… Read More You Will Be Disappointed…And You Will Live
Tiger Mom
For this mom, the struggle to find balance remains a constant one. Of course. What else is new? And, well, alright, while I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a tiger mom, I feel like sometimes I push my daughter. Maybe a little too hard. I’ve tried to find the source of why I do this. My… Read More Tiger Mom
Sports, a bridge to a healthy life!
Fitness has become an important part of my families’ life. My wife and I have committed to giving each other the time we need to exercise.

Shades of Gray
No, this isn’t a post about letting a few extra weeks slip by without a visit to my colorist, or a discussion about the latest actor tapped to play Christian in the “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie. It’s not about paint colors or the latest fashion trend. It’s about those grey areas in life and… Read More Shades of Gray
Not Athletic? Join the Team!
One of the harder things about growing older is that you start to realize that things you fantasized about are simply not ever going to happen. I chose a career as a lawyer when I was in my twenties. Yet I still believed that someday I could be a veterinarian, or a teacher, or an… Read More Not Athletic? Join the Team!
