Earlier this year I shared a post about accountability. The idea was that if I publicized some of my own health goals for 2020, I could leverage the community to hold me accountable and maybe inspire someone to make a health plan of their own. Well, a week after that post I got a call from a very good friend of mine. He said he had been putting off having hernia surgery for years and that my piece was just the push he needed to schedule the surgery.   Awesome! This goes to show that we never know what will have an impact on others; even small things we say and…

I hope this email finds you well and filled with gratitude for where you are in your life. I was out for a hike with my family on a cool fall day over two years ago. And we came upon this tree (pictured to the right) that was growing in between these two heavy boulders.

I am reminded that the next day is not promised – not yours and not mine. One of my favorite writers, Ryan Holiday, carries around a Memento…

Last week we conducted a poll in our Three Action Thursday Facebook Group about which 3AT tenet we felt we most fully embraced. Building Authentic Relationships won out over Personal Finance and Personal/Professional Development pretty handily. I thought this piece would be perfect to help stretch your proficiency even further. In my life, if I had five dollars for every time I heard someone say to me, “Work/life balance is so important to me” or “This year, I am going to have a better work/life balance,” I would have a spare million dollars in the bank. Two things aren’t truly in balance unless they are PERFECTLY balanced. Work/life balance is…
