A skilled juggler can keep not just three…but five to seven balls going at once. What’s your limit? Maybe this is the year that you decide that three is more than enough…that adding this or that activity is overloading the system. Trust your intuition. She might be the best friend you have.

Katie lives a top of the world…give it your all…no excuses kind of life. No wonder she seems so happy and fulfilled. She’s always sending pictures from paradise. Katie wears really cool straw hats in the summer but can be a little gullible too. Like when she believed a cowboy was attacked by a mountain […]

Rain or shine…snow or no…Wendy has taken author Julia Cameron’s advice, and begun taking an artist’s walk every morning. It gets her moving…clears out the cobwebs in her mind and is the source of most of her best ideas. She can’t remember what it was like before heeding this advice. Wendy has found clarity and […]

There are signs. Inklings. Indications. Synchronicities that happen where you just have to shake your head and whisper ‘WoW’. The trouble these days is our speed up…get it in gear…pedal to the metal frenetic pace of life that blurs our vision. It dulls our senses and makes us hard of hearing. When rushed, we miss […]

These leaves are forgotten now…laid to rest eight weeks ago. Blue sky replaced by gray. The branches shiver now as winter rules the day. Nights are unforgiving. Blizzards terrifying. Will I ever regain that splendor of old? Thank you, spring. Thank you a thousand times more. You save me from the cold…the harsh misconception that […]

The Golf Channel has been doing a holiday tribute to The King…Arnold Palmer. Most of you who visit here are probably not golfers…or old enough to remember Arnie when he was in his prime. To listen to athletes from all sports and others talk about his impact and legacy is special. The couple in Florida […]

You name the sport and the best players have an identical attitude. In the last inning or when the clock’s winding down, they all say…’I want the ball, I’ll make the play.’ They are unafraid to take the last shot or field the ball in tight situations. In their minds, they were born for these […]

‘Dogs have a way of softening my hard edges. We loved our dogs. We gushed over new puppies and cherished the older dogs. Our shared love for dogs helped keep the family close. Dogs get sweeter as they age—they sleep more, and need more care as they get sick or their joints get stiff.’ ‘Dogs […]

What is the attraction of fishing? Why does one drive two hundred miles round trip and put on these humongous waders and straw hats? Lord knows there’s been days when five hundred…a thousand casts have not fooled one of these wily fish. Plenty of days when getting to that favorite hole has been arduous. I […]

There could have been some benefits to this unique golf practice method. First, it could encourage a steady head for better balance. Second, it could minimize excessive swaying. Third, it could, like five time British Open Champion Tom Watson, encourage a player to pick the ball cleanly to avoid taking a divot. All of these […]

Christmas is just around the corner. Santa’s sleigh will soon be in flight. Little girls and boys are rejoicing… in anticipation of that night. The toys have been chosen. The reindeer have been fed. Some kids are so excited they never make it to bed. There’ll be cookies and milk set out. The old fella […]

I guess I’ve seen it all now. More than two thousand people gathered in New York last night for a love fest. The object of their affection was Tony Bennett. The amazing singer turned 90 and his friends and fans came to celebrate. Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Lady Gaga, Diana Krall, Wynton Marsalis, Elton John..you […]

Caleb has a case of butterflies. He excelled in tee ball and got on base frequently the next season in coach pitch. This is different. First at bat. Pitcher appearing to be a head taller than anyone on the field. The number two hitter was just plunked in the ribs by an errant fastball. A […]

Sure it would be nice if life were a fast lane…no traffic…pedal to the metal affair. But it’s not. There are speed bumps, u-turns, detours, and ditches for everyone. I guess you could say that success is measured more by how one handles the twists and turns rather than the the straightaways.
