My health is one of THE most important things in my life. Creating a difference in this world starts with ensuring I am physically and mentally able to do so. Having a healthy body and mind is like tying up my laces before a marathon. It’s the first and most important step to ensuring I …

Continuing the trend of sharing the profound and the random… My friend Carlson came to visit (!!!) and so this list of lessons were learned during our time together.
