Here is the most sound advice I can give to you. YOU ARE ENOUGH. And don’t let anyone tell you differently, including you. And if you find someone or even yourself telling you otherwise, remind yourself that it’s okay not to be okay. And then remind yourself that YOU ARE ENOUGH. Now I’m a BIGContinue reading “YOU ARE ENOUGH”

They say, knowledge is power. And I argue, mindfulness is power. Knowledge is important, but most of us don’t understand our knowledge. Hear me out. Throughout our lives, we try to gather as much knowledge as possible. But many of us go our entire lives not knowing how to use this knowledge. And why youContinue reading “Mindfulness Is Power”

I just read the first chapter of Change Your Paradigm, Change Your Life, by Bob Proctor and Sandy Gallagher. This book was recommended to me by my father-in-law, and him and I agreed to meet to discuss what we had learned from each chapter. In the first chapter, it talks about how we grow andContinue reading “The Key To It All”

I didn’t think it was possible to love my wife more than I already do. There’s a reason I decided to spend the rest of my life with this woman. That is until I learned what it meant to be mindful. Up until last year, my self-care routine consisted of physical exercise, and that’s it.Continue reading “Mindfully Loving”

I’ve thought about this post for awhile. I’ve written and deleted it many times. I wasn’t sure how or when to share this message, but decided now is better than any to do so. To all the men out there, it’s cool to be vulnerable. It’s sexy, attractive, encouraging…any other positive adjective you want toContinue reading “Male Vulnerability”

There was a time, not too long ago, where I was just an absolute prick when it came to running. I had a sense of entitlement, and the streets of Portland were my domain. I ruled them ruthlessly, stopping for no one and no thing. If anyone from Lake Oswego ever reads this, and youContinue reading “The Tale Of An Angry Runner”

I have really struggled with this. I really care what others think about me. I spend a lot of time thinking about others thoughts rather than my own. So much energy focusing on what others think of me, rather than checking in with myself to see how I am feeling. Perhaps this sounds familiar? Well,Continue reading “Authenticity”

There are a lot of things I liked about our time in SLO (San Luis Obispo). The weather. The people. The beach. The complete lack of traffic. SLO is one of those cities that when your GPS says 20 miles, it’ll take you 20 minutes. Doesn’t matter time of day or time of year. 1Continue reading “Life In The SLO Lane”

I would consider myself a pretty routine guy. I can look back to my baseball days and thank them for this. For those wondering, sports can be very superstitious, baseball in particular. I remember as a kid getting dressed the same exact way for each game. I was a big socks before pants kinda kid.Continue reading “It’s OK To Change Your Routine”

People have asked me, “when did you first start noticing a change?” Specifically speaking to my skin, but also my mental health. And I didn’t know how to respond. Truth is, from the moment I gave myself the gift of 5 minutes to myself was probably when the change started. But I didn’t have theContinue reading “My A-Ha Moment”
