Theyre whimsical and can also serve to “highlight” a muscular upper body. I recently bought an awesome pair. Theyre grey with a white stripe down the middle. Read More »

I have a business acquaintance who is constantly having issues with people. Mention anyone in front of him -literally anyone – and he will have something bad to say about the. “Shes a #@$%, he’s irresponsible, they have bad customer service”. etc etc. The list goes on and on.

Yesterday I somehow got into a conversation with someone about what I eat daily. I went through my daily routine and they were pretty shocked to hear that I eat the exact same things every day.

You know that moment when there is suddenly a flash and suddenly things appear in a whole new light? When you start realizing whats real and whats fake? What you’ll keep and what will fall to the wayside? When you suddenly feel a sense of direction, a sense of where you want things to end up, where you want things to go?Its pretty amazing.
