Baby Let's Do It!

That's what I heard her say almost 35 years ago. That's what she wanted to do but being myself was hard as I was raised quite differently. Further, I discovered that everyone is shy at something at some point in their life.

If your shy then you typically just need to practice developing your coping skills and then your issue is a non-issue. Some people may need psychotherapy. Everyone is different.

While I have no regrets, I am humbled to think I had it in me to do what was asked and there is a time for every season. The things that happen in our youth.

Note: 35 years ago was another time. Disco was still off in the future and I was under 10. Also, I came from an extremely religious family - I mean Ultra as in Religiosity. I have grown and the rest of my story will appear in a forthcoming book.

Things are not always what they seem and truth is stranger than fiction.

Baby let's do it? Clarity solicited? Baby let's do what? I acted responsibly and lived to write about it. No one likes to be rejected and growing up in a hard as nail environment taught me lessons that I'll cherish for my lifetime.

She said yes, I said no and we both grow. Are we right or wrong or just trying to be ourselves?

Relationship Endings That Just Won't End

An ending can often mark a new beginning but when things endlessly drag on, a drastic change may be required and sometimes this can be the best part of the end.

Changing Times Are Here To Stay - There is No Going Back

Have you ever wanted a new life. Well, here's your opportunity and you ain't seen nothing yet...

Best Time Was The Last Time - No Way!

The best time is this time because that's all I have.

Sometimes Doing Nothing Is Actually Doing A Lot

Huh?

If you can't do justice to your current project then do what you can and move on to the next big thing. It's exciting to think that you have learned so much and come so far in your quest for adventure but time is tight.

Don't get swept away with holidays and use New Years to rebalance. Plan now and get what you want sooner than later.

Make those daydreams come true by planning ahead and really living for something even if it's new and different.

It's time...

Thrill Seekers - Take Lots Of Notes

I could write a book about what happened today but let's get down to all the news that's fit to print regarding my wellness.

Tonight at one of my favorite health clubs - I actually (by myself and no workout buddies, etc) jumped on my favorite Precor exercise cardio machine and broke all the records. I hit the ceiling by maxing out my heart rate and hitting 20/20 for a solid hour. Sweat that looks better than water on a far away desert island - that's mine. I like accomplishing my goals. Even the head of the club looked up to me and wondered how I did what I did. Unbelievable. Anything is possible so love yourself when your naked and never give up your workout. Your body's counting on you.

Life can be very unpredictable. Tonight's workout was the best I've had since January 15th. The biggest test of my life (or close) hit me the following day and while I was successful it still took some time to regain my momentum which I did in a very unconventional way.

As long as your committed to what you believe in, there's always a way and that's your way.

Thrill seekers - don't let anything hold you back and get more of what you want today. I'll be working out and helping my heart get ready for new love. My new love.

I'm getting ready for something big. How about you?

Night Time Is The Right Time

Not really but when you feel right about things in your life, any time can be the right time even if the right time is right now.

Re-Focus On Getting What You Want

Sometimes a person can think of what they want to avoid so much that they end up getting it. Just focus on getting what you want.

Spirit

When you have a natural high, your spirit will never die. It just grows stronger.
