On a surprisingly snowy day in Kansas City, I am working on typical tasks in front of me today: Work, school, etc. And as I maneuver through those things, I do this thing called "worry" about the tasks ahead. Crazy, right? It's amazing how often we worry and stress about tasks that are very familiar…
I have spoken before about the prominence of "circles" in our lives. Many things in life feel like a cycle and you can draw out some of these things, seeing where they started and how they returned to this point. Some of these things good - some of these things bad. I made a post…
People, Places, Feelings, Actions, Situations - We deal with a lot every day... We truly do. We go through a lot, we have a lot on our plates, and we somehow have to manage these things. A management tool that I like to use is positional awareness. To be aware of where I am in…
As The Masters Tournament begins today in the world of golf, many life lessons I've learned from 16+ years of golfing begin circling in my head during a moment of reflection. As I watched the beginning of the broadcast, I saw a few players hit some wayward shots, and as the broadcasters analyzed these misses,…
Any time that something happens in our lives, the question always seems to be "Why?" Why did that happen? Why do I feel this way? Why is that person acting that way? Why now? I have learned how to look at my "Why?" questions as a whole piece. My why's have become an acronym of…

A lot happens in a day. It truly does. From the highs to the lows, we experience many actions, feelings, emotions, people, places, and things throughout one day on this Earth. And when we end the day, we get that time to process and balance ourselves as we sleep to reset for the next day.…
There are hundreds of things that come to our mind each day. As we maneuver through tasks and challenges that the day provides us, we shift our focus with those changes in action. However, our focus doesn't always lock in properly to what is in front of us. We have distractions - we have emotions…
A lesson I am learning is that time always seems to move faster and faster. It does in fact fly. Many times in Mac Miller's music, arguably my favorite musician of all-time, he uttered the line "Time flies... try and catch it." Although this is a cliché, it always rang true each time I heard…
I began this blog 3 years ago to simply try something new. To see if it helped me with life as I reflected in a new way. As you know, it has become an integral and highly meaningful part of my life and it has turned into my philanthropy, in a sense. I just love…
