As you know, I just got over a pretty severe case of Meningitis, and have been unsure if I could race in the NashVegas Olympic Distance Triathlon this Saturday in Ashland City, TN. Now if you remember, this is my ONE fundraising race of the year, so it’s a pretty important race for me. This race has nothing to do with setting personal athletic goals, and has everything to do with making a difference beyond myself. Therefore, I haven’t stopped…

Well, here I lie in my own bed on bed rest for the past four days, per the Doctor’s orders.  This time last week I checked myself into the Emergency Room not knowing what was going on with me. All last week my joints ached, had a fever and was barely standing and I just couldn’t shake it. Then came on the severe head, neck and back pain. This was the straw that broke the camels back. I just had…

We have it so good in America. We take so many things for granted, like running and clean water, endless supply of food at our finger tips, cover and air conditioning for when it’s too hot and shelter and heat for when it’s too cold. As you’ll see, in the pics that I took below on my trip in 2008 to Honduras, the people are beautiful and the colors are amazing. However these people are living in sheer poverty, hungry…

This is something that we can really take for granted every day if we’re not careful. This is true poverty! If our children…

I love this video that the ONE Campaign addressing questions and concerns that we all have had about giving to alleviating world hunger, and answering them as well. Don’t give up folks, YOU and I can and are making a difference! Find a CAUSE that not only needs you, but that also makes your heart skip a beat or makes you loose sleep thinking about it!     You haven’t experience true life until you change someone elses. Now Go…

Well 35 years ago today I was born in a hospital in the town of Lawton, OK. Born to two young musicians just trying to make it! My Mom was 19 and my Dad was 22 when I was born. Ironically I was 22 years old when I got married and I couldn’t imagine having my crazy boys at that age. God bless em! I’m humbled by all of the wonderful messages on facebook, twitter, email and text today. Believe…
