Say it, believe it, become it!
I’ve attended, listened to and read all kinds of self development and motivational seminars, tapes and books. Almost every one has something about self talk. What we say to ourselves is what we believe and what we will become – or what we are. Easy concept!
Taking an easy concept like self talk and using it to personal advantage can be difficult. The reason is our thoughts are routed in habits. Most of my behavior is routed in habits. Habits are great – they save so much time and energy. Habits can also… Continue reading
Marathoning – lessons learned!
I started running marathons in 1996. I had been running for many years. I had recently moved to New York from San Diego. I missed my running buddies and my motivation was beginning to lag. I needed a new goal to keep me in shape.

Time is Precious
When I’m engaged in something I love to do or I’m completely focused on a task at hand, time seems to slip away at the speed of sound. As I grow older, days, weeks and months seem to go very fast.
