Lefty Trauma

After a few days of low grade pain, I finally went to a doctor today after my left hand swelled up… I got a series of X-rays, which didn’t show any bone damage… It looks like I tore a tendon in my wrist – under my thumb – working some BJJ against a 350lb training [...]

After the Pause

Busy, busy, busy… As always…

I consciously took some time off from the blog.

No inspiration to write, a lot of other things on my plate: travel, family commitments, that kind of thing.

Hopefully I am back at it now.

In the next few weeks I am going to be making some changes to [...]

Hawaii Pics

Guardians at the Gate

I posted over 80 pictures from our Hawaiian holiday on my Facebook Page.

Check it out!

Lost in Place

Wow.

I just realized I haven’t updated my site in over a month! Where did the time go?

Let’s see… Quick catch up…

Goals for 2011

In keeping with past years, I was looking for a “pithy” catchall phrase, or sentence, to capture the spirit of this year’s driving themes… So far, I haven’t found anything better than this, from last year:

“Love, prosperity, peace, light & laughter, in 2010 (now 2011) and beyond.” From Twitter

This last year (2010) [...]

Pathways and Mentors Part 1

Busy, busy, busy… There just doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day. My “nefarious” plan to update this blog once a week has fallen by the wayside due to an increase in training clientele, teaching a women’s self-protection class, prepping for teaching my first nutrition seminar, prepping study material for my first (training) [...]

Lost Generation

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward.This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward.  Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant.   Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.
