One thing I've done recently that had a big impact on my health was to work with a personal trainer (online). I wasn't really sure what that would be like so I thought I'd share why I found one to work with and how that went for me in case others are curious. Why a… Continue reading Working with a Personal Trainer

Two years ago today I started yet another new exercise plan. I'd been stopping and starting with exercise over the previous year, but I just hadn't been able to get it to stick. This time however, I've managed to keep it going. I've done some form of exercise at least 3 days a week for… Continue reading Two Years of Healthy Changes

Wow, it's been almost 4 years since I've blogged. Certainly not the first break I've had in many years of having a blog, but this was a good long one. Since I last blogged I've been pretty busy and haven't really felt like trying to articulate the normalcy of my life. For a quick catch-up,… Continue reading Catching Up

Over the last few months, I’ve been working through various leadership resources in an effort to learn more about being a better manager through leading instead of managing.

One year ago I gave away most of my belongings, packed my bags and left home, or at least what had been home. I was running away from a life that had left me confused and feeling stranded, and running towards… something else. I knew not what. I’ve been living in various cities for the… Continue reading A year of wandering

While most of the U.S. and Europe are being pummeled by winter weather, I’ve been wearing flip-flops and shorts, and eating my way through Montevideo, Uruguay. It is summer here in the southern hemisphere, which is exactly why I’m here and not there. Most people get the idea of heading south for the winter, but… Continue reading Sunny, Lovely Uruguay

Well I’ve moved on again. I spent the summer in Copenhagen and loved every minute of it, but my time on my visa is running out so I had to leave the Schengen Area. As my time ticked down I needed to figure out where to go next – the whole world is open to… Continue reading A change of country, a change of plans
