I found a gift – good as a pony – to share with you this Christmas. The pony idea came to me while deep in study for a Titleist Performance Institute golf instructor course (Golf Level 2.) I had purchased the Golf Instructor course in hopes of becoming a better golfer and, more importantly, a

Life Force. Sometimes we feel it roaring through us. Other times we wonder… “How deep inside do I dig, just to stand up?“ From yogic traditions of the chakras (centers of spiritual energy in the human body) to words gleaned from an internet thesaurus. Life Force is our friend, our closest buddy. It’s who and

Sometimes health and fitness goals run into bumps, even roadblocks, on our way to doing the best we can for ourselves and loved ones.
