I spent many weekends as a young man in the Yosemite Valley. It started as a personal goal of overcoming the fear of heights and eventually led to probably one of the biggest personal growth experiences of my life.
The Yosemite Valley is known for the quality of it’s rock (the walls are made up of a high grade granite), the creative routes which have been established by some of the best climbers in the world, as well as the cross section of people who venture their from all over the world. Read more

There are so many who believe that opportunities lost in their lifetime would be taken advantage of, the second time around.
They believe if given the opportunity, they would take advantage of investing today in prospects that hit the forefront, years or even decades before.
They believe if given the opportunity to go back in time, they would have invested in companies like ebay, apple or google when they first went public. They believe that going back in time would seal their success.
This mindset lives in the world of hindsight, not vision. Read more

People seem to enjoy spending time with each other. For some, their enjoyment comes from mainly one other person. They spend most of their time with each other, sharing their lives with each other. For others, their immediate family is the focus of their life. They enjoy the opportunity of experiencing their spouse’s and children’s lives and activities. For others, they may also include their extended families in social activities, looking forward to fun and conversation when they get together. Many people enjoy the company of not only their families, but also many friends and even their friend’s families as well. Read more

Some of us wonder how it is possible, that fear doesn’t overcome an Olympic downhill racer. The skiers attack the course, willing to confront their fears, which would cause many people to quit before even trying. After accomplishing their lifelong goal, the racer stands upon the medals podium receiving their gold medal reward. It is more than just a symbol of their standing in their field and the time it took to finish the course, it is also a symbol of their ability to overcome the obstacles that prevent others from succeeding in their quest of excellence.

It’s nice to see the sun again. It’s just a reminder that spring is just around the corner.
It’s amazing what warmer weather and sunshine can do to the human spirit. People seem to have a little more spring in their step and a bit more vigor in their approach to life. Read more

There was a day, not too long ago, when actors and actresses were adored for being involved in a very special activity. They were promoted stars, as in only seen from a distance and untouchable. In days past, only the professionals had access to quality cameras, not to mention the big business and capital needed to market their production. This has been the isolated and glamorous life of stardom. Read more

There are friends who like me, also enjoy travel, meeting new people in places in which they live. Some enjoy similar sports and hobbies as I do, while others are simply acquaintances, but time spent with them is always fun. Read more
