Friendship!?
Life is hard is a statement I've heard repeated numerous times throughout my life. For some they feel they can accomplish everything on their own, while others struggle. They need constant support. However, the thing both of those mindsets have is a friend or friends...
How do you handle a hurdle?
Watching Deuces first go at track and trying to quickly pickup on everything myself has me continuously observing all aspects. I'm still learning terminology and rules. Watching him and his friends compete, especially him and his closest friend, they are both new to...
Blame
We all experience Blame everyday, be it from something we did or something we didn't. A lot of times the Blame-Game rears it's ugly head into our day. This isn't isolated to an age or a title either. I see it at work, on the field and with my kids. How do you handle...

Reflection
When you look in the mirror what do you see? Some don't like their reflection. Some try to change what they see with make-up, tattoos and so-on. Under all that it's still you in the reflection. That is the part many fail to see. We let others dictate so much in our...
Raising a Teenager
Raising a Teenager is like rolling dice, some days you get a hot streak and other days you crap out. The ability of an attitude to change with a gust of wind is hard to understand and even harder to plan for. Throw in the appeal to impress others and the end of the...
