Interval training

I have a challenge for you. Or maybe it’s better to say that I invite you to join me in a challenge. Lately I have been thinking about the principle of interval training and how it relates to so much more than exercise. In case you aren’t familiar with it (intervals or this mysterious thingContinueContinue reading “Interval training”

I don’t think of myself as an obsessive person. But every now and then, and it seems to come more frequently these days, something horrific happens and I cannot stop thinking about it. I have had some significant growth opportunities over the past few weeks that I planned to write about today, but as IContinueContinue reading “My cure for an obsessive mind (Do what you can)”

Kind of like a pond that has no movement. It can be piling up with sediment and algae forming. Late at night mosquitoes can appear. Just seems stopped and clogged; not moving and feels stifling.

They are pretty embarrassing to put on paper, but I feel like they illustrate a point worth making, so I will sacrifice my reputation to help us all learn something (and I feel like it’s only fair to let you know whatContinueContinue reading “Scary Stories”

Reality Bites….not

I was up early. I wanted to read and meditate before things got hectic. The house was quiet-and the heat had just been turned up a few notches. As I was reading, I noticed a weird whirring sound. It was the sound of something working very hard and not properly. I continued to read, butContinueContinue reading “Reality Bites….not”

Essentially, it was some great training inter-mixed with all the possible ways you could get fined or sued. I can’t believe I am still in business. There areContinueContinue reading “Freaking Out”

When I was in the hospital or just sitting around my house recovering from chemo and preparing for the next round, I had blog ideas rolling through my head at all times. I couldn’t write fast enough to get them all out ofContinueContinue reading “Soaked”

Sensory Break

A couple weeks ago I visited the School where I worked with Special Ed Pre-Schoolers. Of course, this prompted thoughts about how “Everything You Need to Know You Can Learn in Special Ed Pre-School.” One thing I talked with about with the teachers was how overwhelmed some of the children are who don’t speak English.ContinueContinue reading “Sensory Break”
