How Did I Get Here?

I am currently in the car traveling back from Fredericton, New Brunswick, where Roger’s family runs several trade shows each year.

You May HATE Me For This…and That’s OK.

I am wearing my flak jacket as we speak. Because I know there are people out there who are going to hate me for writing this post. I know this. And that’s ok. I am ready. You see, I have put off this post for a very, very long time because I have worthiness issues;…

Are You A BOSS?

So, once again, it is by an act of grace that this post has written itself. Yesterday, the 28-Day Kick The Sugar Challenge (KTSC28) came to a triumphant close and it is an amazing feeling for every single one of us who accomplished our goal…even if there were some slips along the way. The ones…

We’ve Done It ALL Wrong!
