Can a Shaken Confidence Break the Desire?
Last week I mentioned I was going try to swing dance again. I went and though I had a good time I was a little rattled. Before my MS I used to go quite often but since my diagnosis I have only been three times now. This last time my legs were not cooperating well.…

Doing What You Can, How You Can, While You Can
I believe that when doing something you should do it to the best of your ability. For me, I have always striven to be the best I can be, sometimes without knowing what that meant. At times I would over estimate my abilities, at others I would underestimate them. But I would always try. With…

Time is on Your Side, Are You?

Without vision, without passion people slowly die within. There is a reason why the self-help industry is worth $11 billion, people want to be inspired to do something.…

Being Truly One of a Kind
When I was in college I had a calculus teacher who stated he was the only math teacher he knew of that also had a degree in philosophy. This got me thinking – what exactly makes us unique individuals? As I have pondered that question over the years I noticed that no matter what path…

Namaste from Annapurna Base Camp
Well, I’m back and recovered from my trip to Nepal. It’s been a few weeks since my last post so to rehash I went on a missions trip to Nepal. It was an an experience like no other I’ve had. It had its awesome moments and moments of adversity but I wouldn’t trade any of…
