Campaign for LLS

February 16, 2023 0 Comments

VOY Kickoff Visionaries look to the future–and see infinite possibility. They challenge the status quo–and make the impossible possible. They boldly imagine a better world–and lead the charge to create it. I was nominated as a Visionary of the Year. I am campaigning to raise money to help those in need that just like I …

Finding myself

February 13, 2023 0 Comments

Life if funny post-cancer. (I hope I can call it “post-cancer”, I’m only a few months into being in remission so I use that term loosely.) I struggle daily to figure out who I am. The things I used value in myself are different now. I could work like a madman. There would be days …

A year of a 1000 pictures

January 13, 2023 0 Comments

I want to take a trip back and start before my leukemia diagnosis. I want to point out what “might” have been early signs. There’s no real way of knowing but I certainly have a better idea looking back than I did in the moment. Going back through family pictures or the pictures/videos on my …

Remission!

As the title of the post suggests, I’m in remission! I had my 1 year anniversary on October 1st. Just a few days prior to that I went into the oncology clinic for a pulmonary function test and another bone marrow biopsy. While I wasn’t expecting anything but good news, it is still a few …

Meditate

September 8, 2022 0 Comments

I made an Instagram post today talking about our Wednesday Habit Practice. Meditating gets tossed out there a lot and I feel like there are still a lot of misconceptions about it. There’s apps, there’s how-to’s, there’s blog posts, there’s seminars, and there’s retreats. So what’s what? Similar to training, I want to lower the …

Will 2.1

September 3, 2022 0 Comments

A while back I had the idea (forced on me) that in order to move on I had to think about the person I was as being dead. I could no longer be Person A. That person was in the past but was not who I was any more. I’m currently Person B and striving …

Striving for Perfection

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry I keep coming back to this quote. As I struggle through life and find that more and more is requiring my attention, sometimes it takes stepping back and reassessing. I’m currently in …

Training, conditioning, and life

August 29, 2022 0 Comments

One of the things you’ll start to see more of here is training oriented posts I’m doing this for a number of reasons. One, first and foremost, for myself. It’s my training and I want to make it accessible to me. Two, in case anybody wants to know what I’m doing.Three, I plan to make …
