I turned down playing pool more than once in my life. Grandma C. had a table in her basement that always lured me when we visited once or twice a year. There were usually not many kids my age to play with, so I often ventured down there alone, possibly with a cousin or two [...]

Not sure what makes me need to write at 12:30 in the morning, but here I sit, my Native American flute music in the background, finding just a little bit of zen, or heaven, or enlightenment, or awareness, or mindfulness, or interconnectedness, or whatever else you want to call it. Maybe it’s just my insomnia [...]

The spring semester of my junior year in college started out as a rough one. I was going through some relationship issues, feeling what it felt like to get my heart broken, feeling like I was falling to pieces. So dramatic, as I look back now… but at the time, my whole life felt like [...]

I was sitting at my desk in my office, and was working on my schedule. I pulled out my calendar and reazlied suddenly that “someday” wasn’t there. I flipped the page, thinking it was maybe next week. No… not there either. What could I have done with that? I thought, “Maybe I stuck it in [...]

One of my favorite quotes from the late Coach John Wooden is “Be quick but don’t hurry.” I find myself saying that in my head at least 7 times a day. I am always rushing here and there to get things done, make things happen. One of the best reminders I can give myself is [...]

Endings… Beginnings. Cheers of elation. Tears of sadness. Not everything is easy. In fact, so often it gets hard. As athletes, we sometimes feel like the game is harder than we can bear. We fall down. We lose. We [...]

A couple weeks ago, Monday started out with a feeling of fear. I am often shaken when I see a car accident… or at least the remnants of one. I was stopping by the Dunkin Donuts in town to get my decaf coffee, my morning ritual. I turned into the parking lot and actually saw [...]

Today, I became a better person. Just because I decided. I spent my morning at a Community Leaders lunch with the Chester County Communities That Care program. I listened to amazing people share their stories and their reasons why they are involved in this awesome program that gives back to our community’s youth in ways [...]

I spent an hour and a half yesterday with a HS lacrosse team that certainly knows how to win. I sat in the room and listened as they spoke openly, rallied around each other, and shared emotion that moved me. They didn’t know it, but it moved me. I walked out when we were done [...]
