The Courage of Glen Campbell in concert at age 75 with Alzheimers
I had a wonderful experience last night at Lake Mission Viejo when I witnessed a full range of emotions while watching Glen Campbell in his “GOODBYE TOUR”. At age 75 he left a memory and a deep sense of courage that I will never forget. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease six months ago and […]
Inflammation and obesity and the silent killer
Diet and lifestyle. Some of the largest contributors to chronic inflammation are smoking; a diet high in sugar, fried foods and trans fats; inadequate exercise; stress; and vitamin D deficiency. There are a couple of ways to measure how much inflammation is silently occurring in your body.
Leadership Study Group – PART 2
I highly recommend the book TRIBESby Seth Godin. On page 22 he shares that leaders do not focus on organizational structure. They use passion and ideas to lead people as opposed to using threats to manage them. There is a difference between telling someone what to do and inciting a movement. Great leaders create movements by empowering […]
Think Into Possibility
This week as I was supporting my friend through surgery, I was so impressed by the medical staff and the amazing work that surgeons do in creating new possibilities in people’s lives.

The study examined two healthy, middle aged […]

Biceps Curls for Everyone
I love to do biceps curls. I know it seems crazy, but I love to feel strong and feel like I am building muscle! I also love to use the resistance bands as they can go anywhere we go. Gone are the days of carrying weights around!! The full extension of the arms is something that […]

The Power of the PAUSE
Sometimes our lives can get so busy that we think, “Oh, I don’t have time to get everything done and I certainly don’t have time to pray or meditate.” That is exactly the time when we do need to pause, even for just twenty or thirty seconds. Take a deep breath. Gather yourself together and realize […]
