Stress is Stress—Learn How to Manage it or it Will Manage You!
I realized about 15 years ago that stress is stress; good or bad, our bodies do not fully recognize the difference between what we would deem ‘good stress’ and ‘bad stress’.

Read This. Please.
Would you do something for me? Well, it’s not actually for me. Would you pause for the next few moments and look around you, very slowly and intentionally; paying close attention to every detail. What do you see, hear, smell, and feel? Take it all in. Don’t rush it. Now please do something else… I…

What My Long Beach State Track T-Shirt Symbolizes to Mean
My collegiate track and field days were short-lived. After skipping the season my junior year in high school and having an awful senior year season I steered away from the track while attending Santa Ana College (Rancho Santiago Community College). But the sprinter’s bug bit me while attending California State University, Long Beach (affectionately known…
