    Imagine this: you’re watching one of those intense cop shows where the officer, after a high-stakes incident, is mandated to attend therapy. The officer usually walks in, sits down reluctantly, and it’s a standoff with the therapist. Sound familiar? A few years ago, my life took a turn for the worst, leading me straight to…

    I’m old enough to remember when they used to call the sauce on the Big Mac the secret sauce, or was it the special sauce? Anyhow, I’m showing my age. When making waves in the world or cooking up a treat, they may refer to the special ingredient in their success as the secret sauce.…

    I was only seven years old when my grandfather Ron Simmons died of prostate cancer, and at that time, he taught me vital lessons that will stick with me until I meet him again. Although my memories are hazy, I’ll do my best to introduce you to him, explain why he is such an important…

    Do you remember a few years ago when the UPS delivery service catchphrase was the power of brown? Now, the color brown ( if you have a filthy mind like me) could be mistaken for something else. Yeah, I feel they didn’t think that one through, but anyway, let’s get back on track—the power of…

    Forget about it, or if you’re from New York, you’ll say Fuhgeddaboudit, a common phrase to say thank you, you’re welcome, and it’s not a big deal. Don’t worry about it, and let’s put it in the rearview mirror as quickly as possible, is what I’ll take it to mean, too. Forget about it. It…

    When you look at yourself in the mirror, have you noticed one muscle is bigger than the other? Or have you seen one side holding you back while exercising? Then, you may have a muscle imbalance. These are not a big deal because most people have a dominant and non-dominant side, where one side is…

    Rearview Mirror is a fantastic Pearl Jam song that inspired this post. The older I get, the more I look back on it, wondering how did I get here. Two song references are in the first two sentences; come on, that’s got to be some record, right? Bonus points for you if you got the…

    When talking about cheerleaders, let me clarify one thing from the start. It’s not the cheerleaders on the sideline at sporting events who are waving their poms-poms around and chanting. Here, I’m referring to your personal support network, which you lean on in times of trouble and change. Unsurprisingly, being a sole proprietor and a…

    Health and fitness has a low bar for entry, but the secret enemy stops many people in their tracks before they even get started. Becoming or staying healthy and fit is simple (but usually challenging). Pick up a weight or two a few times a week, get sweaty occasionally, and eat like an adult more…

    During woodworking class at my high school back when the dinosaurs stomped around the earth, I was told to sand with the grain of the wood. Going against the wood grain would scratch the surface and leave it with a rough finish. Nobody likes a rough piece of wood. Now, a smooth piece of wood,…
