Sweeping Up the Cobwebs

December 12, 2011

The last time I posted, I said I was shocked that it has been a month since my previous post.  Well, here I am again in the exact same position.  I’ve been traveling for work, my uncle passed away suddenly, and now I’m dealing with a major knee injury.  Life just got hard for a [...]

In the process, I came across this quote video that I made about 18 months ago after hearing Jillian Michaels make this comment to a contestant on The Biggest Loser. It was just what I needed to hear right now. [...]
