Before I begin this week’s post, I’d like to start with a little story. Way back in the days of high school, I didn’t like gym. Hard to believe that an exercise fanatic like me didn’t like gym, but there you are. I think it was because: 1. The dorky gym uniforms. Can someone say […]

I am very blessed that I have the time to get deeper into my faith. I consider it a gift to be able to do so. Even with my deeper faith, I am still reeling over the terrible shooting in Charleston South Carolina. As our pastor said in church this morning, “This was pure evil. […]

Because of my consulting work, I have had to spend many days in Boston. I love going into the city. I have a whole fun routine for these days. I get up insanely early and exercise; I then take the train into Boston. I forgot a book this time, so I was doing a lot […]
