Why do women love shoes? They care so much about what goes on their feet. I am often asked about the kinds of shoes I use to run. Now I know lots of people are devoted to certain brands. I however will use whatever is the most functional. It doesn’t necessarily need to be fashionable but I would prefer they not be ugly. With that said I’d just like to take a moment to make a point. I trained for over three years in canvas shoes that were somewhere in the neighborhood of a dollar. They wore out quickly but I didn’t expect much. Over those years I discovered that I didn’t need expensive shoes to be a great runner. All I needed was dedication and an enjoyment of the moment.

Fast forward to now. I go through so many shoes it is ridiculous...

I do what I do to influence future generations of kids. Since childhood I’ve always been known as the one with the master plan. I’ve never been one to tell others what to do. In fact, I am quite the opposite. Many times it can be a handicap as people who know how to speak up are often rewarded. But the rewards can disappear if the talk is not backed up by action. Then again I don’t want to bore everyone to death with the same topic day after day. So, the plan is to take you on the adventure with me.

Writing a blog is nothing like riding a bike. It is a skill that I find diminishes if not used. So here I am resurrecting my site as we prepare for another adventure. It’s not that I didn’t want to post, it’s just that I had a momentary shift in priorities. I didn’t realize my slight detour would take another couple years of my time. I had amassed a bunch of university credits when I was young but I still needed to pull it all together to receive some kind of degree. In three days time I will receive that degree. Along the way my commitment to the foundation has never waned. The knowledge gained from my courses ranged from nutrition to childhood development. Nothing was left to chance as there was a purpose for it all...
