1. Quote I love… “To get what we’ve never had, we must do what we’ve never done.” We are in unprecedented times. The future is uncertain. The ones that will not just survive in this upcoming environment, but thrive, will do so because of their beliefs, attitude, and commitment to work hard. I came across…
1. Stat no one is talking about… We all know that the #1 risk factor for complications associated with COVID-19 is age. Do you know what #2 is??? OBESITY. I knew it was a major complicating factor, but was interested to find it was actually the second biggest risk factor. This is scary… yet exciting.…
1. Tip I heard… I listened to a Tony Robbins podcast this week, titled The Small Business Resiliency Kit, that shared strategies for business owners from four experts. Ryan Diess shared one tip that caught my attention… During this time, think about what you do miss and what you don’t miss. When we are in…
1. Craziest thing I learned/heard this week… At a time like this, I hear a lot of crazy things, but the one that shook me the most was that doctors have been instructed to list COVID-19 as the “probable” or “presumed” cause of death if they suspect that the patient had the virus EVEN IF…
1. Something I started doing again… When my three children were younger, every morning I would leave a quote written on a piece of poster board in the kitchen for them to read.

1. Book I read… I finished a great book, Stillness is the Key, by Ryan Holiday. It is very timely, as many of us have a little more free time. We tend to think that to be successful we need to go…go… go. Personally, one of my problems is that I do something, get a…
1. An Important Video Message… 2. Something I’ve been doing more (I did it this morning)… We often don’t appreciate feeling good… until we feel bad. I have been taking time more often to stop, close my eyes, breath in and out, and really appreciate feeling good. When you are sick with a cough, aching…
1. Coronavirus update… Simply put, this virus is fairly benign for most of us. However, the concern is how contagious it is, and its effect on the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. The action to shut down sporting events, schools, and other highly populated events and activities was confusing to me at first,…
1. Something I get to check off my bucket list… I love snow skiing. I’ve done some hardcore skiing in the past, in the back-country, through unmarked terrain, but it required hiking in, then skiing down. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to go heli-skiing, where a helicopter carries you to the…
