Yes, it’s those situations where you find yourself doing something different.  It’s about feeling good and enjoying life.  That feeling of, “man, do I...

I’ve been through three levels of official education…traveled through a large part of the world…spent time single, engaged, and Married….lived in over five diverse Countries located thousands of miles from one another…..all the while coming across decisions and occasions that have formed a life.

It’s Earth Day 2015, but instead of telling you to be aware and to recognize this special day…..I’m asking you to act on it. Spend part of the day watching the Sun rise or set, clean up trash around your neighborhood, take in some bottles for recycling….help find a way to turn around what...

If you’re a cyclist, you don’t have to be an expert mechanic….but you really should have basic maintenance skills.  However, most don’t. By learning the basics, you’ll be a much more confident cyclist and will most likely get yourself out of a difficult situation in the near future.  That should be motivation enough to...

As you can tell from the title, this day is the only one like it that you’ll ever know.  What are you going to do with it? Yeah, the easy way out is to live it just like you did yesterday and the day before.  But the #MakeitHappen option is to spiral upwards, live...

Image Credit Going on a cycling expedition is not for the faint of heart. Whether you are traveling through hundreds of miles of endless roads or heading off into the country for an off-road trip, it can be a grueling experience.

Some foods are special. Some have characteristics that go far beyond numbers of calories, carbs, protein, and fats.  In fact, most real, whole, raw, and traditional ones do (it’s those made-in-factory ones that are little more than a pile of calories). One such food, one of my favorites, is sourdough bread.  Although I eat...
