Everyone hates Covid. Let’s not talk about it. However the world’s new circumstances have lead to effects that have brought most of us online quickly. In my case it was a 12-step meeting. In your case maybe it’s a church service or possibly a book club, etc. Chances are you already did this, maybe the process went smoothly or maybe you’re curious what other people did. Below I will outline what I did, my experience with it, and what went good or bad. Zooming ahead! Okay so the first thing I did when I brought my meeting online was create a zoom meeting. This was the primary point of contact. It was a place for people to rally. This worked great and within only a few days we were hitting numbers that indicated full attendance. We even have people in attendance that surpasses our usual numbers because people can join from outside the area. The Internet is the neighborhood where everyone lives. The Internet is the hood I grew up in. Speaking of growing up in the Internet I knew some...

  As it currently stands when I started this post (27-Aug-2019) according to my doctors BMI chart I am overweight. For a 5’8″ 190lb male, I am hovering just 10lbs below official obesity. Of course this isn’t the first time I’ve been this heavy. At one point I was   Fat Kevin . However I’ve also been Thin Kevin too. Of course I don’t have pictures to corroborate that. You’ll just have to trust me. At my best post 21yrs old shape I was about 165lbs. The point is my weight has fluctuated with great range across about 40lbs.

I hate cardio. I hate breathing heavy. I hate exercising for the sake of exercising. I rarely push myself physically unless there is some sort of game involved. Then of course comes the question “Why workout at all?” Why is this even a concern of mine? Honestly fitne...

  Premise like woah… This year I have been working on not only goal setting, but  actually accomplishing what it is I set out to do.  There are a few ways to achieve those goals, but what I’ve learned is that is a lot of ways to compromise them too. What it is? Before I start to hammer through what causes compromise in a goal it’s actually important to stop and realize that the purpose of a goal is to make your life better and hopefully expansive.  You’re reaching beyond who you already are and trying to achieve something new.  You’re pushing into the darkness of who you are and hoping to attain something valuable for your efforts. That said, with any goal, failure shouldn’t be unexpected but it also shouldn’t be ignored.  The dance between compassion and evaluation is an important one.  If it’s all understanding and no measurement then progress may be in doubt.  If on the other hand the dance is all judgement and no appreciation for the struggle ...
