Take Time to Reset Before the New Year
Sitting back tonight, watching my weekly dose of “That 70’s Show” and getting ready for another week in this thing we call life. I have been thinking a lot today about how “off” I have felt this entire past week. It has been one of those weeks where nothing felt good, everything agitated me, and I just wanted to avoid all people and sink into solitude.

Top 3 Fat Loss Supplements
Supplements are everywhere. From fat loss to muscle gain to erectile disfunction, there is a supplement company maximizing profit off of the hopes of the people. And I would know! Since my high school years as the scrawny 125 pound kid trying to work my way into the Major Leagues, I have put my hope into just about every type of supplement on the market.

Fear Failure Not Success
We all have fears. Some big, some small, but either way it is utterly impossible to traverse through life without a handful of them. I, myself, am scared of water. Oceans, lakes, rivers…not my thing. I don’t swim very well and the fear of the unknown freaks me out. You may see me in a pool and I don’t want to stink so showers are a must, but water sports and swimming are far fetched in my world. Fears are part of life and that has to be accepted but it is how we handle [...]
