Ok so we’re a month into the New Year and I’m curious… How many of you are still being faithful to your New Year Diet? I read some statistics that were interesting… 1 in 4 people are on a diet at any given time 98% of diets fail Those aren’t very promising statistics. I’ll be […]
I’ve spent the last two weeks keeping tabs on the Australian Open. If you’ve been around here for awhile you know that I love the game of tennis and secretly have a dream to be a tennis pro once I retire. I was disappointed with the loss of my favorite, Roger Federer. Fed is currently […]
I H A T E folding laundry. The monotony of folding shirt after shirt… matching sock after sock annoys me. How do socks just disappear by the way? I dread it. I avoid it. I wish it away. But inevitably I find myself with a pile of laundry that I have to face. And once […]

I’ve been a little slow to the party on this one. I just couldn’t get settled on a word and then I wasn’t sure I really liked the word that God kept whispering to me. H U M I L I T Y It’s painful to even type it because to commit to it is […]
In case you haven’t figured it out by now… I’m an “A-type”. A control freak. A planner and strategist. A cross all my t’s and dot all my i’s type. And currently I’m wrestling with God because he is not letting me be those things in a particular area of my life. The only way […]
One of my favorite books from this past year was Andre Agassi’s auto-biography Open. The most surprising part of his story was that tennis was never his dream. It was his father’s. #1 in the world, over $31 million in career earnings and one of the best players of all time and yet, tennis wasn’t […]
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow” Albert Einstein “The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it. The present is here, live it.” Thomas S. Monson These last few days of the year are a great time for planning and preparing for the New Year. I suspect […]
