A little fellow follows you

I came across this article where John Wooden, legendary basketball coach, shared some of the quotes that most resonated with him through his life. Whether you’re a parents, teacher, family friend, aunt, uncle, grandparent or whatever, it’s something we all need to remember as we go through the days we spend with together with the […]

Passionate, Not Obsessed

As long as I can remember, I’ve had an obsessive personality when it comes to my hobbies. Whether it was golfing, swimming, grilling, diet & nutrition, body building, coffee or bikes.

Even after finding a few really good […]

Evolving content

I’m stealing this idea from Jacoby Young because I think it’s a great concept.

Look at each of my posts as an evolving resource, nothing is static, every post […]
