From the same Sanibel Island gift shop…different day and year – insanely random. The context here is that you never have to talk about your “workouts”. Your strength, flexibility, endurance, smile…they all kinda snitch on you about your workouts.
Tell a great story today, no words.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom with a Pennsylvania relative, also an eighth grader.
Home is your HQ. You are the CEO of You, Inc.
Home may be an apartment, condo, a backpack, RV, boat, car, bike, or an actual home.
How you manage the paperwork of life depends on your effectiveness as the Chief Executive of your home’s structure and processes.
The time to worry is well before the unending paperwork of life buries you.
Become well-organized. Simplify. Reduce decision fatigue. Prioritize your priorities and build your home’s organizational structure and processes around maximizing results and minimizing effort.
Or, become unintentionally and increasing more disorganized. If you don’t have time to do things right the first time, you will never find time to do it right the second time. This poor habit of unintentionally (under-focusing) goes viral and there’s no stopping it from ruining your mindset, your physical vibrancy, your peace and contentment, and your valuable work artistry. Victim-mentality is the common excuse for a disorganized, non-vibrant life.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Soar. Don’t waddle.
Live like you mean it. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
