Here is a definition of “Tenacity”: Extremely persistent in adhering to or doing something; stubborn or relentless. If you were to “self-score” your own “tenacity level”, what would that be? I suppose the concept of self-tenacity needs to be broken down to different aspects of our lives. For example, some people can be very […]
There is no one, and I repeat NO ONE, that decides to lose weight and then proceeds to lose weight every week without weeks along the way when the weight goes up. If a person’s weight loss was plotted with weight on one part of the graph and time on the other, a straight line […]
I would bet that pretty much all of us, at various times of our lives, have uttered or heard the expression that included the term “Night and Day”. This term is often used to describe a clear change or difference between two things. Let’s bring the concept of “Night and Day” to the weight […]
One of my favorite movies is the Tom Hanks’ classic, Forrest Gump. The film was released in 1994, won 6 Academy Awards and made almost $700 million in revenue. For those of you that have seen the movie (I have watched it probably over 20 times) there are many poignant as well as funny […]

Recently, I read that a 1960’s singer, Bobby Rydell passed away. One of the roles he was most known for however, was in the 1963 movie “Bye Bye Birdie”. This very dated musical also starred a very young Ann-Margret and Paul Lynde, one of the original guys in the old Hollywood Squares television game show. […]
How “happy” are YOU? That is a difficult question for any of us to answer. “Happiness” is a subjective sensation and there is certainly no exact “measuring” system to ascertain anyone’s level of “happiness”. We all sort of generally know whether we are “happy” and that sensation can change almost hourly, depending on circumstances […]
Are you a person that is spontaneous and will begin an initiative quickly OR are you someone that takes lots of time analyzing the pros/cons, risk/benefit and alternative initiatives before embarking on the journey?
