Thoughts coming out of the weekend:   Loyola is in the Final Four - and it's not Maryland, but Chicago. Nonetheless still rooting for a fellow Jesuit Loyola school to take home the big prize. It's been so much fun to watch this team. This March has been particularly crazy with some of the upsets, …

Impactful Quotes from Woody Allen to Albert Einstein

I'm a HUGE fan of quotes. In fact, I actually have a notebook that I use to write down my favorite quotes whenever one strikes me in a particular way. I typically carry it in my backpack along with a few books, my laptop, headphones, and sometimes a newspaper - and I'll go to a …

The Weekly Rapport #3: Back from Some Time Off

I know it’s been a while. I’ve been pretty busy with work and traveling so I haven’t been in the same routine or method that I’m used to where I can schedule in my daily writing. It’s really important to me that I do at least some writing every day – even it’s typing a …

The 21 Day Challenge was Stupid

So the 21 Day Challenge is over and I couldn’t be happier. While I did report feeling better in several different ways in my week 1 and week 2 updates, in the end I don’t think it was worth it. Cutting carbs completely out of my diet was probably my biggest mistake. While I did …

Everyday Life Hacks That Will Simplify Your Life

I'm a big fan of "life hacks." Although the term is kind of annoying and seems a bit gimmicky, the solutions they offer are effectively "hacks" so I think it's an apt name. Regardless, I love finding out new things to implement in to my daily life that make things just a little bit easier. …

No Weights Required: My Weekly Workout Routine

I rarely lift weights. In fact, I try to completely avoid going in to the weight-room section of the gym entirely. Luckily, most gyms now have a cleared out zone for stretching or for more HIIT workouts with dumbells, kettlebells, TRX bands, tires, swiss balls, boxes and all the other bare-bones stuff that I prefer. …

The 21 Day Challenge, Week Two: Allowing a Cheat Day

While week one of The 21 Day Challenge was probably more challenging from a physical perspective, week two of this challenge has been much more of a mental and emotional assessment. The first week I experienced carb withdrawal, hunger pangs, sugar cravings and the likes. But I built up a tolerance after a the first …

Read what you love until you love to read 2 great books on current events and politics 📚 Oh, just buying more books I don’t need 🤷‍♂️ 3 Things I Learned This Week You wouldn't think a cartoonist and creator of the comic strip Dilbert would be a controversial figure, but Scott Adams has cast himself in the limelight for his unique, albeit outlandish, perspectives.
