I recently purchased an electric bike to commute to my office! Practical? Yes. As long as I use it continually. But I want to tap into the fun that it can bring. Speeding down the road, avoiding the gas stations, pulling right up to the bike rack near the office and locking up ready to [...]

It’s okay to be improving.
I read a passage that a growing company is always changing. The process' used are constantly changing as they adapt to growth, and also make the little things better along the way. You can have something that works. And still work to make it better. For some of us this way of thinking is novel. [...]
Finding our meaning and avoiding getting caught up.
This post, from another daily blog I read, really struck me. It is about the meaning we find in life, and the perils of attaching happiness to some kind of outward success. What is our point? What do we want? And why. Good questions, and I hope you enjoy.
Getting out of our own way.
I am listening to The Big Leap for the umpteenth time. The main premise of the book is that we all have an upper limit in different areas of our lives. When we start approaching it, we do something to bring us down to our realm of comfort. I highly recommend it. Each time I [...]
Let’s try something new.
I don't think it's ever too late to try something new. There's a joy to be had and trying new experiences not getting sucked in to thinking it's too late for you to try. What's on your new adventure list?

To shy away from that discomfort is to stay within your current realm of understanding, and what [...]

The experts.
In this podcast, Dr. Stefi Cohen shares her experience in physical therapy school when she had an injury, and her expert teachers all had different diagnosis for the what/why/how. What she learned is that these experts didn't necessarily know everything. I am continually amazed to recognize this because we turn to experts so readily in [...]
Do you want to lead with trust?
We can default to trusting people or not trusting them. What is your default? It is something we might not think of every time we interact with someone, and yet it will have a huge effect on our day-to-day life. While our past interactions with people probably plays a huge role, perhaps we should not [...]
Our quirks do not always need to be imposed on others.
Wait, you don't view this the way that I do? Sometimes we think things must be done a certain way. When in reality, it's just how we like to do it. Which doesn't mean we need to impose that on everyone else. It could just be our own personal quirk. I like the dishwasher loaded [...]
