Speed Up

Our Contributing Editor, Bob DeBroux, has been doing a lot of thinking lately. Actually, since he was born. Or quite possibly, even before he was born as in the Zen koan sort of story, dialog, question, statement type of thing: "Show me your original face before you were born." In any event, and Bob's had a lot of events in his 70+ years of life, he's on a path to finding things out about finding things out. We love it, and you will, too!

Our Contributing Editor, Jim Carlson, has been planning his retirement since he was 37 (maybe even before that age). He has it figured-out, which allows him to travel the globe, work wherever he finds himself, and still play and record the music he cares about as a professional singer-songwriter. From our standpoint, he's fine-tuned everything about semi-retirement including the tunes he writes. 

Dr. Scott Mickelesen writes to us about trust. More specifically about the importance of trust in relationships. And it's not just workplace relationships in order to maximize engagement and productivity. Scott's advice transcends any specific segment in our lives and applies everywhere, and anywhere. It's solid advice from the most solid of all humans. 

Perhaps our lives will never be stress-free. But why not try to make it as stress-free as possible? Our skilled, highly trained, and master yoga instructor, and Contributing Editor, Stephanie Barksdale has some lessons for us. It begins with not missing out on LIFE!

From carefree, to careful, to not a care-in-the-world. Mike LaBarbera walks us through; um excuse us, runs us through his active lifestyle like a kid in a candy store. 

Marvin Smith has lived a full life. But certain "Health Signals" have got him thinking and using his brain more than ever. And thinking is something Marvin does extremely well. In spite of the need for some caregiving and paying closer attention to his body, his aspirations of driving sports cars, listening to jazz music, traveling, and spending time with family and friends is never far from his active mind. It's just that some of the internal messaging is changing. 

Kevin Boesen takes us on his life journey to becoming a 100 year old. He's got 48 more years to go. Spoiler Alert: Exercise is part of the routine. 

Does back to work mean back to the office? For some, it does not. And will not. For our peaceful Contributing Editor, Mr. Kurt Huber, he has a clear direction and conviction of how he wants to play the game.
