Universal miracles

Poster detailing Eye disorders
Easy to take healthy eyes for granted.

There’s white privilege and then there’s five senses privilege. If you were born with functional senses, you can never know the plight of those who aren’t.

An eye ball is an unexplainable miracle. The eye ball is a small part of the entire body.

How does an image get absorbed, processed, and then become a tangible asset to our survival and enjoyment?

How does a microscopic sperm cell contain the architecture to replicate a similarly looking human, including everything the eye needs to miraculously function.

How does the body know your eyeball is full of blood and automatically work to rid the eyeball of the excess blood? We may never have a tear that bleeds inside the eye. Most humans don’t. But the body is prepared to react automatically should it happen. All of this from the tiniest sperm cell.

Pool time is cool time

Summer mornings are perfect for floating in a pool. And a pool float beats an ‘office desk’.

A blessing is a gift, not an entitlement.

The eye doctor cannot tell what is happening. She is calling for an immediate ultrasound with possible surgery before the end of the day.

And then what, physically?

Driveway construction from rooftop
After 31 years of a clay/grass driveway, Cheryl’s wish is coming true.

Didn’t walk, run, or workout today, even though it’s Monday.

Why?

Concrete construction owner arrived at 7am.

Focused on being present for whatever.

Construction is not a perfect science, nor is the industry known for impeccable honesty.

Expect the best, yet plan on things possibly going off the rails at a moment’s notice.

Trust me, construction is not a perfect science.

Saw it coming and hoped to be out the door at 6am to get a few miles in.

Turns out, exercising is not a perfect science either.

Then what?

Leaned into the discomfort of missing a workout and walk/run.

Chalked it up to an additional “rest day”.

Then what?

Processed that there’s no crime in occasionally resting three days in a row.

Ease of movement watcher

How’s your body movement when you wake up? No issues? Stiff? Achy?

How’s your movement throughout the day? Take the steps or the elevator?

Lift heavy things with ease or strain?

Healthy resting heart rate?

Takes a lot to break a sweat?

Physical suffering

movie ticket
Towson, Maryland is a two-hour flight from home. The airfare, less than $100 roundtrip. Easy, peasy. The memory, priceless.

Physical suffering?

When wellbeing is transactional, everyone suffers.

Even with busy travel and business-owner challenges, my wellbeing is never an afterthought.

Why?

Because i never want to feel like i’m checking off boxes. You know, taking shortcuts or making excuses on…

  • Cardio
  • Strength
  • Rest
  • Nutrition
  • Flexibility
  • Core
  • Motivation

Deep-dive your focus and discipline to create world-class wellness habits that become lifestyle habits.

Never treat your body like a tent. Treat it like a temple.

Never transactional.

Always intentional.
