Long week, but it’s getting so much better.

I think I earned a chill day. 😎

Hikes Alderson-Cathew on Friday, the day after I arrived. It was great!

Hiked Akamina Ridge Trail on Sunday!

Hiked Crypt Lake in Waterton Park today. Completing the Triple Crow.

If you don’t invest in yourself, who will?

Love this! And the course was 🔥

Are you disciplined? What are you after?

As we travel through life we meet many people who have an impact on our lives. Who do you surround yourself with?

Not being able to speak in front of people is something I’m missing right now... but once this social distancing requirement is no longer required I’ll be set to jump right back in.

Never stop growing!

During this crisis which will you be? For my family and self, we will choose to be the coffee bean and be resilient

A daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed that just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each over a higher fire. When the water began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them boiling for a while without saying a word to his daughter.
The daughter moaned and waited impatiently, wondering what her father was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes and eggs out of the pots, and placed them in different bowls, and poured the coffee into a cup. Turning to her he asked “What do you see?” “Potatoes, eggs and coffee,” she quickly replied. “Look closer,” he said, “and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After removing the shell she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face. “Father, what does this mean?” she asked. He then explained that the potatoes, eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity- boiling water. However, each one reacted differently.
The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? “

Moral:In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
Which one are you?

Nobody is perfect when they first start, look at toddlers learning to walk...
Take the next step, and follow it with another and KEEP GOING! 🚶‍♀️🚶

Never stop learning. Most books I “read” are on Audible as I spend a lot of Time driving. What do you do in your “down” time?

What are your pain points? What is holding you back? What would you change if you had a magic wand?

When life is tossing us curveballs when need to take a moment to relax, breath and focus.

I use a great app that helps with this on my watch. It’s called Breath. Find it in the App Store.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Our hardships leave us stronger and more able to weather the storm. This too shall pass. Have a look at this fantastic advice...

Be congruent and you will succeed, not being true to and with yourself serves no one.

Someone needs to see this right now, if its you, you’ve got this!

With the concern over the Covid-19 virus, many people are worried about more than just their health.

Business owners are worried about staying open. How do we service clients? How do we take best care of our employees? Is there anything we can do?

Talk to your coach, together we can get you through this.

We will find a reasonable, responsible way to continue to serve others.

Sometimes we all just need a little reminder. What are you going to change? When will you start?

Kids can be a source of frustration. The yelling, crying, constant movement destructive mini people can be pretty trying.... BUT
They are with us for such a short time. Let yourself enjoy the chaos.

It’s time everyone knows what my “brand” stands for..
That’s this Page... Everything else? That’s my Personal Page...

Forget this.. today is the second best day to start! The best day was yesterday.
