Who BE you today?

I Love my KEEN Jaspers

Friday, November 6th, 2009 is the day for setting powerful new goals, leaving the past where it belongs, and turning over a new leaf. What will I pack for this journey and what will I leave behind? I’m making up my mind to transform my mind and to get ready for a whole new outlook!  One way to hit the reset button on old programming is to ask new questions of yourself. One great place to start might be, “What keeps happening to me,  what do all the seeming problems in my life have in common?” It’s simply a matter of changing the way you look at things – changing your mind – creating entirely new perspectives. The older I get the more I’ve come to realize that out of difficult situations, many times, there are positive lessons learned…but only if we choose to look, listen and observe. Of course it is never fun to be faced with a negative challenge. Pain and heartache aren’t a thrill and great sadness brings isolation, however, if we can look for the positive or the learning in every situation, particularly the difficult ones, we not only grow but we come out on the other side much stronger and less bruised.  We already know this stuff, but sometimes it just finally clicks.  Have a happy and wonderful weekend my friends and remember…love is the answer.

BMX legend. Number one.

HIGH ENOUGH TO DIE

The reason I started riding. The reason I started flying. Not too many people are blessed enough to be friends with their hero and spend time with a living legend. Thanks Mat for all the support and your friendship throughout the years.

Good Stuff

Saw Justin the other day at the trails, haven’t seen him in a while.  He’s always been super cool and fun to ride with.
