I find this title amusing for the simple fact early on in life one is an expert at happiness. But child’s play slowly loses its grasp on such an inherit skill as imagination and creativity fall victim to the folly of the real world. This Netflix film, (HFB), centers around a divorced woman, Helen, a …
Gearing up to start a wellness program consisting of yoga, meditation, resistance training, book work, and feed 9 students lunch with the help of my new friend and yoga teacher, Shawn, I just wanted to reflect on how I got here and why. When an American hears ‘yoga’ they are probably thinking of a women’s …
The Midwestern in me growing up with dial-up AOL and Napster is quite familiar with a Stouffer’s frozen lasagna, so I ignore it unless the price tag says $6.99 for a family size. Unfortunately inflation has killed that special but I did score last week when I got a single’s size for $3.49 with ‘real …
The #1 overall pick in 2017 out of Texas A&M, Myles Garrett (how come there’s no cool nickname, like helmet smasher? What taser face?) has done his duty for a ball club that has not delivered a chance to the top defender in the league of a championship chance at a ring, and so he …
A Detroit Dream. For the last four years I’ve been freestyling/singing in my basement so often I’ve accumulated over 800 videos and it’s a ride I don’t think I’ll ever get off. There’s something so pleasant about letting your voice out. Not just to be heard but in sync with an invisible wave that has …
The NBA has been getting trashed on my news feed with low ratings and a failed All-Star Weekend helped them dig in deeper. The showcase has been mundane for the last decade or so without any of the stars competing in the dunk contest. The game format keeps changing because this generation doesn’t play like …
Some people make such strong impressions on us we never forget how they appeared for the first time in our lives, such was the case with Marge Mitchell, a soulmate to me. I met Marge in Seminole, Florida where we were co-workers slanging Timeshares For Sale By Owner in a telemarketing room circa 2002. I …
The return of the Teflon Don is quickening but I’m reminded of 2020 and the demise of the sacredness of a capitol not just for the nation but the shining light on the hill, live on mobile stream or flatscreen at home, work, errands, or medical appointments we watched in awe; “is this real?” Before …
December 2024 fades away in the rear view and the defrosting is primed to clear sight of the past. January 2025 seems so futuristic for someone born in 1980 growing up on Terminator, Back to the Future, and Alien. The uncertainty in the years to come to close out the decade will shift humanity that’s …
On Sunday the once proud rivalry between the two teams resumes after the snow globe Thursday night football matchup weeks ago where the Brownies pulled out the win 24-19. Chubb had 2 TD’s on his return against the defense that ended his season week 2 2023 but now he digs his cleats on the field …
Scrolling through the news I’m often drawn to articles about traits of successful people in business, relationships, or spiritual, they usually catch my eye with 7, 10, or 5 homerun hitters that are the foundation of achieving the discipline. Yesterday my best friend said he almost died in a car accident. Since he wasn’t in …
