Staying in the game

When I played softball I did wow or awe anyone with my overwhelming talent, but that’s not what this post is about, it’s about staying in the game mentally. When I was playing ball if I wasn’t into what I was doing, it wasn’t fun, the team could latch onto any negative vibes I [...]

Perhaps the longest week of my life

When you are little and it the week before Christmas every day drags on for what feels like a week. Time seems to by so slow you aren’t sure if Christmas will ever actually be here. Logically you know it is coming but it just doesn’t feel very reassuring. You start to [...]
