My ONE Thing –> A Simple Tracker for 2026

Yet again, I am amazed at what some people are trying to sell online! If some scrolling video ‘star’ has made you feel like you must do their overly complex, expensive thing in order to find success, then please try this instead… Take a simple sheet of paper like – 2026 – My ONE Thing…
Listfully Yours… It’s Not About Time

Think of this as your auto-biography for life lessons and all that you love. Instead of starting the new year with a bunch of must do politically correct life altering promises, how about you begin today making a real exploration of everything that makes you YOU? Get whatever notebook you have… –> Use the first…
Let’s Stop Being Nice About It

The habit of being “too nice” must stop. Whether it’s the Golden Rule, ‘Canuckness’ or believing that fairytale princesses would never do such things… our dissolving societal norms are rapidly destroying what’s left of our inherited cultural peace. Once upon a time, we learned a special fear that if we expected anything greater, we would…
Saying Sorry to Others but Forgiving ONLY Myself

Hearing them say the words “I’m sorry” after they have done something so wrong, lacks all benefit or purpose. I have officially learned to not accept apologies.

Becoming Better –> How To Make Little Steps… Forward

We get stuck in “comfortable” ruts. They might be safer than pushing forward. For a time, they might be all we can handle. And possibly, they might even be enough—but what happens when that little voice inside you starts asking for something a little bit better? If you are in a non-safe position, then becoming…
It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden (2003)

I find it quite refreshing to read older books. This one was stumbled upon in the library (my favourite place ever). The thing about books that were written 20 years ago or even 50 years… is that the world was so different back then. I guess that makes me old to say such things, but…
Bollnäs 2025 –> NEW National Record at 25 meters

Breaking a National Record is very fun especially when you did not know it was happening! Going into my first competition at 25 meters was already interesting. I had certain expectations due to training the distance for a few weeks so I was already having some ideas of how it would go. BUT the score…
