With Christmas only 9 days away, many people are rushing around preparing for Santa. This stressful time, for many, is generally unavoidable. Tis’ the season!

Yeasterday, Teri and I were reminded to take a breath and be in the moment. We took the unique opportunity to sit quietly at a butterfly conservatory and marvel at the beauty and tranquility all around us.

Being calm helped us notice the beauty of the moment!

As you experience your day, I hope you take the time to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and share a smile with those you meet!

I hope you have a Fantastic Friday!

Heeding the advice of his doctors and trainers, Woods didn’t rush his recovery, slowly regained his strength, muscle tone, stamina and endurance, and tweaked his swing.

It has been a long process that challenged his patience and work ethic more than ever before. But for the first time in 466 days, Tiger will return to competitive play Thursday in the Hero World Challenge at Albany in New Providence, Bahamas.

Being a grateful golfer is no different.

There is no secret formula to being a grateful golfer. Like all things in life, it takes a conscious effort to develop a state of mind that empowers us. And to develop this mindset can be challenging and easy at the same time. It must take some sort of activity. Continue reading →
