Finding A Clear Path
No one can figure a way out of life’s dilemmas alone—because most of them are of our own making. We get trapped in familiar patterns, beliefs, and reactions that once protected us but now quietly limit us. That’s where working with a life coach becomes transformative. An objective, grounded perspective helps you see your life…

The Day I Argued with a BMW and Met Myself
I was out on a bike ride on my way back to my car. It was a typical busy day on Main Street in Ann Arbor, just the kind of chaos that makes you feel alive yet cautious. Always aware of traffic, I found myself in the left lane, signaling for a turn, when out…

These Directions Make No Sense!
Last Saturday, I volunteered at a men’s wellness event hosted by the Michigan Men’s Health Foundation at Ford Field in Detroit. The gathering was remarkable in its simplicity: everything was freely given, blood work, screenings for prostate health and diabetes, haircuts, dental and foot care. Everyone attending was provided with lunch. About 1,500 men were…

The Mind’s First Reaction Is Not the Soul’s Wisdom
I was kayaking with a friend on the Huron River, just below Barton Dam. From a distance, the water tumbling over the dam looked fierce, fast, like a current you’d be foolish to challenge. My friend hesitated, concerned the flow might be too strong. I could feel her pause. Her apprehension was real, but the…

Is This What I Really Wanted?
I have a long-time friend, a good friend who has deeply influenced my life. Though we live nearby, we rarely see each other. He’s busy. I’m retired. Still, he’s often on my mind. Last Sunday, I went to a local plant nursery. It was bustling, the parking was tight, and people moved with urgency, eager…

Staring Death In The Face
I love hosting dinner parties. My partner and I had several friends over for a Christmas Day meal. I was in heaven, planning, shopping, cooking, preparing, and completing all the tasks needed to feed eight people. I am nourished not only by the food, but equally by the intimate connection that these gatherings engender. Before…

That’s Not What I Chose
I was gathered around a fire pit in a friend’s yard. I sat with six of my closest friends, men I deeply trust, men who know my heart and the truth of my being. I love sitting around a fire. It feels primordial, something that calls to my ancient humanity. Something done for generations provided…

I Received a Valuable Gift
I have often mentioned that I am an ardent bike rider. I am a solid B- rider. On average, I ride about 150 miles a week. In warmer weather, the local bike club I belong sponsors a Tuesday night ride. It is rated an A ride. It leaves promptly at 6:00 pm. It is an…
