As you may know, this year I planted a summer garden…and it’s doing amazingly well! I have so much basil & zucchini that I’m having a hard time keeping up with it all. A good problem to have! So, instead of leaving zucchini on the neighbor’s doorstep in the middle of the night, I dug
While the Olympics gives us truly amazing performances, it also gives us an opportunity to peek into the athletes’ training programs. While watching the Men’s 50m Freestyle final I heard the announcer mention that the winner, Australia’s Cameron McEvoy, had been out of the water for 12 mo’s. Wait…he didn’t swim for a whole year?

Some athletes fight this tooth & nail while others – like Phil Meyers – embrace it, integrate it & live it. I can’t say enough how proud
