My Yoga Teacher Flirt Fail—Lessons Learned

So, I’ve had a crush on my yoga teacher for some time now. I did an unlimited month of yoga and was often at her class (purely coincidentally). But my month ended, and we all know my track record for committing to anything for too long. So, I’ve been cheating on yoga with CrossFit…

I grayed early in life, most notably my eyebrows and stache. I typically keep a goatee of sorts; my version is a light stache…

Can You Trust Yourself?

I have a good friend–ok, he used to be a good friend–who after becoming ultra-Christian would constantly get on my case about following my intuition. When he had an important decision to make, however, he would say that he first needed to pray on it. God would answer him and–tada!–he knew what action to take next. He said that…
