I had other friends leave to go traveling and pursue dreams of discovering the world. I,...

January 23, 2017 No Comments

Scale My Life Q1 Review: As Stress Builds, Do I Pivot Or Stay The Course

April 3, 2016 No Comments

3 months into my journey to ‘scale my life’ It was Saturday morning and I was sitting out on my deck drinking coffee on what looked to possibly be the nicest day of the year (so far). Although the weather and ambience were more than relaxing I found myself lost in thought trying to evaluate my life. I had just completed 3 of the most challenging and rewarding months in recent memory but the question that kept spinning around in my head...
