Pat Dougherty is a tennis coach in Florida and is known as The Serve Doctor. In a number of his video lessons online, he reinforces the value of playing from your ‘athletic foundation.’ This photo of Rafael Nadal captures this idea perfectly. He is returning serve and has just completed his split step. He’s ready […]

The Shroud

September 7, 2016

Twenty-two years ago, a very young cowboy had a sales call in Colorado Springs. I’d heard about the work of Dr. John Jackson who is one of the world’s experts on The Shroud of Turin. It was fascinating to visit The Shroud of Turin Center and see the findings of this renowned scientist. If you’d […]

Proof yet again for you skeptics that the game of hide and seek originated in the animal kingdom.

Resilience

It is not the number of times you get knocked to the canvas that counts….it’s the number of times you rise and the look in your eyes as you battle on.

The window

The eyes tell so much about a person. Honesty…beauty…creativity. It’s all there if one looks closely enough.

Oooops

Stylin’

There are some people who are born to wear hats. Backwards….frontwards, it really makes no difference. They just have the look and any style seems to suit them to a T.

You go, Seth

Sarah said that she and hubby Rob had climbed Mt. Falcon near Morrison on Sunday. A very young cowboy decided to ask Sally to give it a go on Monday. An hour later, we had ascended about a mile and a half and stopped for a break. Our guide (Seth) seemed shocked when we decided […]

Mother Teresa was recognized as a saint this week. Thousands of people knew her as one when she gave up everything to be of service to others. Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. Mother Teresa

Stillness

September 4, 2016

Nearly everybody I know does something to try to remove herself to clear her head and to have enough time and space to think… All of us instinctively feel that something inside us is crying out for more spaciousness and stillness to offset the exhilarations of this movement and the fun and diversion of the […]

Risk

September 3, 2016

A very young cowboy has a friend in his late twenties. He’s decided to take the leap from a secure job as a tennis coach to one helping families find new homes. There are no guarantees but, with his passion and people skills, he is bound to do well in time. It would have been […]

Father Time

September 3, 2016

A friend of mine is in the final third of his life. In the past few months, he has consulted with Father Time who has provided sage advice. When golf became unappealing, the wise man said, ‘why don’t you write more….you know it’s something you love.’ When sloshing through streams for seven hours and driving […]
