Twenty
To continue the tradition we started last year, Trish and I wrote another blog post to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Today marks 20 years.
On the day of our wedding, we never could have guessed where we would be and what we would be doing now. One of the keys to our success has been our willingness to adapt, grow and support the other person. Another is our ability to push each other to be the best version of ourselves. We often challenge each other, in a positive way.
At various times, we have each:
– Worked a second job to help us get by.
– Accepted an old car so the other person could have a new one.
– Taken time off to pursue a dream while the other paid the bills.
– Moved (or stayed put) when it suited the career aspirations of one of us.
– Stayed behind while the other person traveled overseas.
We have supported each other during difficult times and figured out how to overcome obstacles. Through good times and bad, through sickness and in health, we have grown stronger together.
What do you do to make sure you grow together with those you love?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.

Slow and steady wins the race
A few months ago I decided to try something new. I made a commitment that each day, I would do at least one thing to move my movement therapy business forward. It could be anything: Help a client Refine a technique Update our website Write an essay The key...
Maybe it wasn’t about me
Many years ago, I saw a family friend that I had not seen since I was a kid. I said hello and I saw in her eyes that she did not recognize me. I was puzzled, maybe even a bit insulted. After all that time our families spent together, how could she forget...
Giving thanks
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful that Roli needed a new home and we were blessed to take him into our family. I was nervous about adopting him and he is a better fit than I ever imagined. I’m thankful that Trish and I left corporate life and moved to the mountains. We...
Pre-pay your stress
Sometimes it pays to endure a bit of stress, work late and get stuff done. It's not much fun at the time, but the relaxation you earn might be worth it. The alternative is to race against deadlines. As deadlines approach, control evaporates. Choosing stress early...
