My stepdad, Bill was many things to me, And he lived this Motto. I learned this in elementary school. He did this with family and business. The employees and Subcontractors always got paid, even when he miss bid the job and didn’t make money. I am grateful he taught me this one! It has served me well.

🌿 Friday Focus: The Serenity Framework

This weekend got away from me, my oldest came into town, and I got excited to spend time with her, so I am getting back with my Friday Focus on Wednesday. Not beating myself up for it, but instead moving forward.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.”

🔹 Break It Down:
🕊 Serenity – Inner peace through acceptance
→ What can I let go of today? What’s not mine to carry?
🕊 Acceptance – it is seeing life or the situation for what it is.
→Acceptance is not Approval, or agreement. It’s stating this is happening.
🔥 Courage – Aligned action through strength
→ Where am I being called to show up or step in?
→Its continuing to act even though I have fear.
🧭 Wisdom – Clarity through stillness
→ Can I pause and listen before I react?

🔸 End-of-Week Check-In:
• ✅ Accept – What’s out of my hands this week?
• ✅ Act – What can I take healthy, grounded action on?
• ✅ Discern – What simply needs my presence, not my fixing?

🧠 Pocket Mantra:
Peace is letting go of what’s not mine. Power is showing up where I can.

This little prayer or positive thought has helped me out throughout my life, even now with the challenges life presents.

Feeling stuck? In pain? Emotionally tapped out?
You’re not alone — I’ve been there too. From injuries to life’s unexpected curveballs, being stuck is part of the human experience.
But you don’t have to stay there. Whether it’s physical pain or emotional stress, Chinese medicine and bodywork can help you move again.
I use acupuncture, cupping, RockTape, craniosacral therapy, and moxa, along with over a decade of experience helping people feel unstuck — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
🔹 Recovering from a crash?
🔹 Going into or coming out of surgery?
🔹 Struggling with addiction, anxiety, grief, or PTSD?
Let’s talk. I’ve been doing this since 2011, and I’d love to help.

VAST—Because ADHD is a Terrible Name for Our Superpower
(Also, Yes, This Was Supposed to Be a Friday Post… But Here We Are.)

Alright, folks, it’s Sunday—which means I definitely missed my Friday Focus post. Again. But if you’re VAST (more on that in a second), you get it. Time is a suggestion, deadlines are optional, and our attention is… let’s call it selectively abundant.

Which brings me to today’s topic: Why we should stop calling it ADHD and embrace a way better term—VAST (Variable Attention Stimulus Trait), coined by the legendary Dr. Edward Hallowell.

ADHD? More Like a Marketing Disaster
Let’s break down Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder real quick:

Deficit? No, I don’t lack attention—I just distribute it in highly creative ways.
Hyperactivity? My brain is a Ferrari with bicycle brakes—sure, I get distracted, but if I care about something, I can focus like a laser.
Disorder? Sounds like something that needs fixing. But VAST? That sounds like a Jedi power.
Now imagine these two conversations:

OLD:
👉 “Sorry I forgot your birthday, I have ADHD.”
😞 (Sounds like an excuse.)

NEW:
👉 “Sorry I forgot your birthday, I am VAST.”
🤯 (Sounds like I was on a spiritual quest.)

Why VAST is a Game-Changer
VAST recognizes that our brains don’t work in a straight line—they work in loops, swirls, and multi-dimensional rabbit holes. We:

Think expansively. Ideas hit us at 100 mph.
Hyperfocus on what we love. (Which is why I can research a niche health topic for 6 hours but can’t remember where I put my phone.)
Thrive in creative chaos. Structure is nice in theory… until we get a better idea.
VAST doesn’t just sound cooler—it’s more accurate. ADHD sounds like an apology. VAST sounds like a personality trait that belongs in a Marvel origin story.

Embracing the VAST-ness
If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “scattered,” or like your brain is tuned into 30 radio stations at once, congrats—you’re VAST. And that means you’re:
✅ Creative beyond belief.
✅ Energetic in bursts (aka "productive chaos").
✅ A specialist in deep-dive rabbit holes.
✅ Able to turn even distractions into opportunities.

So no, we don’t need a new planner or another lecture on “just focusing.” We need systems that work for us, people who appreciate our big, wild, passionate minds, and maybe an alarm that reminds us we were supposed to post this two days ago.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have three books to finish, a new project to start, and a snack to find.

🚀 Stay VAST, my friends.

Friday Focus

My new weekly post focusing on a subject that I find Interesting and worth sharing with people.

This first post is on Indian clubs!
The video is of Monica . She is a great example of Indian Club Movement. you can find her on instagram.

Do you suffer from shoulder pain, constant neck and upper back tightness, or a past rotator cuff injury? Do you struggle with lifting your arms overhead or want to improve shoulder stability, mobility, and strength? If so, Indian club swinging can be a game-changer.
I speak from experience—I completely wrecked my left shoulder in a bike crash. My MRI report had 14 different issues, including a torn ligament, torn labrum, and torn rotator cuff muscles. Thanks to an excellent surgeon and dedicated rehab with Indian club routines, I’ve regained full range of motion.

If you're looking for a powerful tool for shoulder health and recovery, give Indian clubs a try. They’ve made all the difference for me!

I first heard of Indian Clubs from my friend Scott Adams many years ago. He was using them with his Surf Stronger clients.

The "Indian Clubs" originated in India, where they were initially used as weapons and later adopted as a form of exercise, with historical references dating back thousands of years to Hindu traditions; British soldiers stationed in India observed this practice and brought the clubs back to England, popularizing them in the West as "Indian Clubs" during the 19th century, where they became a staple in physical education and military training due to their ability to build strength and shoulder mobility; the clubs were particularly popular during the Victorian era fitness movement, even appearing in early Olympic gymnastics events in 1904 and 1932.

What is important regarding swinging Indian clubs is they take your shoulder through all three planes of movement, Sagittal Plane (Forward & Backward Movements), Frontal Plane (Side-to-Side Movements), Transverse Plane (Rotational Movements). The movement patterns start out very simple and can go to very complex.

Indian clubs use momentum from the swing to create a dynamic balance of traction, lengthening, and strengthening in the shoulder joint.
As the club moves through space, the centrifugal force gently pulls the shoulder joint outward, creating traction that helps decompress the joint and improve mobility. This lengthening effect promotes better range of motion while also engaging stabilizing muscles, particularly the rotator cuff and scapular muscles, to control and guide the movement.
Unlike static stretching, the rhythmic swinging activates deep stabilizers and improves coordination, making the shoulder more resilient. Over time, this builds strength, flexibility, and endurance, reducing injury risk while enhancing functional movement.

Hope you enjoyed it. Please write back with comments and questions.

Grief.

I don’t think people around me think of Chinese Medicine for help with Grief, But I can and have helped treat it.

I have been able to help people who are in the midst of Grief, by doing a combination of acupuncture and cranioSacral work, not talk therapy. It is more like taking a relaxing journey.

The types of grief and loss are Patient’s teenager who died from Fentanyl poisoning. Patient is processing the aftermath of being r***d, Patient’s Mother dies, she is getting divorced. Patient is taking care of a spouse who is degenerating from Dementia. Patient finds spouse after su***de. I know tough stuff.

These are all serious challenges which some of us will experience or have a friend who is or will experience.

Theory:
From a Chinese Medicine View, Grief is considered an emotional imbalance that can affect the flow of Qi (life energy) in the body. Grief can lead to Qi stagnation, where the flow of energy is blocked or slowed. This can result in feelings of heaviness, depression, and physical symptoms like fatigue or pain.

Grief is primarily associated with the lungs and the large intestine in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The lungs are believed to govern the body's Qi and are thought to be the organ most affected by grief. Symptoms of grief impacting the lungs include shortness of breath, chest tightness, and a weakened immune system. The large intestine, which is paired with the lungs in TCM, can also be affected, leading to digestive issues such as constipation or diarrhea.

Solution:
By combining Acupuncture and CranialSacral, I have helped people Feel “unstuck” from grief. The theory is helping to Move their Qi, life energy. .

Acupuncture points along the lung and large intestine meridians can be stimulated to help release emotional blockages and restore the flow of Qi.

Practices such as Qigong, which incorporate deep breathing exercises, are recommended to strengthen the lungs and help process grief.

TCM takes a holistic approach, considering the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of grief, and aims to restore overall balance and harmony in the body.

The CranialSacral taps into something deep, I best describe it as the feeling on being held as a baby. I gently hold your head, and gentle massage your neck and head. It is amazing.

Summary, is I provide a safe and comfortable environment for the patient to move along their journey with grief and not feel stuck or overwhelmed by grief. This has always been a part of my practice since the beginning.
