This past weekend was spent on the road, officiating another soccer tournament. I have been separated from my wonderful partner for twelve days. She finally arrived at her boat yesterday morning and that is also where I am at. It is wonderful to be back together with her again. I enjoy our brief moments together….

There are some extremely religious people who believe that the creator controls their lives no matter what. I like to believe that the creator has a plan, shows us a few choices within our lives and then moves accordingly. I like to say that I have created myself in my own image, because every choice…

This past weekend I officiated thirteen games at a soccer tournament in Oceanside California; according to my watch I ran a little over 35 1/2 miles over a period of two days. I stayed at my younger sister’s house, which was about thirty-five miles from the soccer fields. I left the fields every day with…

Tonight I am grateful that I have a back up laptop. Why is it that every time a certain software company forces you to update your computer, something always stops working correctly.

Today is one of those days where I am feeling very blessed; where I am wondering what can I write about? What am I so grateful for today that I feel the need to share it publicly? Well this afternoon, I sat by my sister’s pool, while my laundry was being washed in her machine,…

You can’t stop me or slow me down! Well, you may be able to slow me down a little; but I will not stop moving forward! I will not stop living my life the way that I want to live it. I am so blessed and grateful for all that I am and all that…
