I write blogs and provide blog content

September 26, 2011

For anyone reading who does not know I have recently moved from Reading Pennsylvania to Charleston South Carolina. The move was planned for many years and has finally become reality. We’re quite happy here and have already started jumping into theater with me working backstage for South Pacific last month and both Deb and I [...]

Mental Health Statistics

September 6, 2011

58.2 million people in the United States are diagnosed with mental illnesses every year. Interestingly enough our presidential election has been determined by far less people. Those two facts may have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, and I do admit that was a slight tangent. Over 58 million people though! (That number comes [...]

Workout Routine and Attitude

Sunday’s Sermon on Fitness

June 20, 2010

June 19, 2010

Better Shape Equals Better Sex

June 16, 2010

A recent European study has found that obese women have more difficulty finding a partner for sex than women who were not obese. Well that just stands to reason, doesn’t it? I mean apart from a few “chubby chasers” people have been conditioned by advertisements and television to prefer women who are on the thin [...]

Visualization – The Secret To Transformation

Where do you see yourself ten years from now? It’s an important question because your goals determine your course, and to have clearly defined goals you should employ visualization techniques.
