Interesting Finds

ARE YOU HUNGRY OR DO YOU JUST WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?  Damn. You MUST listen to what he says all the way to the end. This is TRUTH as a parent, as a student athlete, as a person. How badly do you want it? What are you willing to do to get it? If YOU'RE not the one with the grit and the grind, I promise, someone else has it and THEY are going to win.

The best lessons I have learned have been my hardest. And while I don't wish many of my life lessons on anyone, I DO recommend struggle. Struggle to both fail and achieve, struggle to recover, struggle to explore, struggle to change... It's scary shit, and - if I'm being honest - sometimes I opt out of the struggle and uncomfortable reality to get the bowl of popcorn and avoid. (No drinky-poo and no tokey-poo, but I can still nd ways to shut down. Yes, I may be a master of change, but I'm still fucking human!). So, as Coach Bartley (@coachbbart) said... Are you - or are you raising - a WOLF or a SHEEP?  If you liked this message, HERE is another good one from him!

Happy Endings (well, maybe...)

Ok, THIS post is a Happy Ending for me because I want to scream this from the mountain tops, but - warning - depending on your consumption of alcohol, you might not enjoy what you hear. That said, she is sharing actual FACTS. AND, I also do believe there are many people that can enjoy alcohol occasionally and safely - my husband is one of them. To be clear, and I'm sure you know this, drinking any amount of alcohol daily is neither occasional nor safe. 

p.s. REVIEW REMINDER: Yup, I'm going to keep asking until you do it, soooooo.... Please take 3 minutes to review Pretty Wrecked -- Click HERE to write a customer review on Amazon. Thx!
