I’m talking this week about 7 important questions. The first one, and possibly the MOST important, is, “who are you?” Identity The obvious answers to the question are about identity. Think about the things that might be on your ID card, Driver’s License, or Passport: your name, where you’re from, when and where you wereContinue reading “Who Are You?”

Be Your Authentic Self
Here’s the problem: Many people are living meaningless and dishonest lives. They don’t know who they are and what they’re about, so they don’t care about themselves and don’t treat themselves with care.

Do Push-Ups Because All Lives Matter
Care about all human lives? Care about your own life? These are great reasons to do push-ups. Let me tell you why.

Do Push-Ups Because Black Lives Matter
Care about Black people? Do push-ups. Here’s why. Last week, I promised that I would return the focus of my health & fitness coaching blog to push-ups this week.
