    I know you’ve read all the advice about getting motivated and building habits. Lay out your workout clothes the night before.

    Creating a Routine You Can Keep Up From Anywhere

    I’m sure I don’t need to preach the benefits of a morning routine. Other people have said it better and louder than I could. If you do need convincing, check out Hal Elrod’s Miracle Morning.

    How We Got Started

    I’ve always been a fairly introspective person and it’s part of my personality to seek comfort, beauty, and peace.

    Horse Sense: Life Lessons From Horses and Their People

    When you have a good idea, don’t share it. The evening sun sets over lush Tennessee hills.  A band of horses crowd around a hay bale. The farmer drives by on a four wheeler.  The horses look up but they don’t bother to see what he’s doing. He fills the feed trough with grain and…

    My Own Escape From Prison

    So there I was in a city I never thought I’d visit, standing in the doorway of a building I’d never given two thoughts, and I was lost.  Well, I wasn’t lost, per say. I knew where I was, but I didn’t know where my friends were and they probably hadn’t even realized I wasn’t…
