I was sent this email the other day, it might have been in response to this facebook post of mine: Right now is the moment that leaves me wondering why, why do I do this? My practice is all that I really need, but now at 10:45 I am finally heading home after loading a truck full of obstacles two times, and there are still things to be loaded back at the site of the race. The truck is filled completely waiting to be unloaded, the expenses were so high that there was really no value financially to run this event. […]

It is 11:11 pm.  Oh my.  I am ruined.  My body is destroyed, and i am sitting in my underwear at the kitchen table, with cuts and bruises all over my body, eating a salad (first time I really ate today), and thinking of sharing with you. It will be short, as I am in no mood for long!  But I just finished the obstacle course race, not running it, hosting it.  Most of you know that I am horizontally integrated if you consider health, or vertically integrated if you consider health outlets! So I am into the obstacle course […]

This weekend is The Firebreather Challenge, which is put on by me.  Yeah, I am distracted, why?  Because I love looking down the lens of health from every angle.  I like driving it down from all directions. With the Firebreather Challenge coming, a question surfaces… “why do I do these?”  Because of posts like this on our facebook page! Michael Winkle This day changed my life. I finished my first race ever. I was overweight, broke from putting 2 children through college, and had let myself go after my career with the US Navy. I finished this race and gained confidence, […]

Some background before the background.  You’ll see.  So, Shannah was in my small group (group of people who hang out together once a week, talk about life, talk about difficulties, talk about CrossFit and politics if so inclined) with her husband Rob.  Rob had actually been through my Body By God Challenge a number of years ago. Anyways, I am not much of a “pusher” when it comes to my lifestyle, or chiropractic, when you are out of my office.  I do life the way I do it.  Some people notice, and gravitate, others ignore it and stay away.  I […]

This article is from the Huffington Post – I thought it was a good read.  Of course I want you to click through to their site, so the article in its entirety can be found here : http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rachel-macy-stafford/the-day-i-stopped-saying-hurry-up_b_3624798.html When you’re living a distracted life, every minute must be accounted for. You feel like you must be checking something off the list, staring at a screen, or rushing off to the next destination. And no matter how many ways you divide your time and attention, no matter how many duties you try and multi-task, there’s never enough time in a day to […]

This is what is in store for you!  Yep, it is your life, and your time, and your reasons are so varied.  But I am going to be telling you more about some of our past stories in the next coming weeks as we prepare for the 60 Day Turnaround.  And during this, some of you are going to come with me to the High Hampton Inn in Cashiers October 4th – 7th.  This will take your breath away, it will amaze you, and make you smile big smiles all at once. The Peak of Rock Mountain at High Hampton Inn, […]

Here on this momentous night (the night before the start of school for most of you Cherokee County families), I am considering the impact of the unexpected.  And how you deal.  It’s interesting for all of us if we think back to our childhood, and imagine a first day of school that didn’t go as planned.  Or perhaps a specific event along the way in our normal school day.  I can remember the day a girl, who had professed her love for me, turned on me and told me “(I) wasn’t worth one cent”.  I was 9 years old.  🙂 […]
