It’s no secret, I want to fly. But when I was a kid, I would have done anything to be able to time travel.
At night, I would go back in time to right wrongs, stop natural disasters, or say what I should have said…all in my mind.
What I didn’t realize then is that though we can’t time travel (yet!) we do travel in time. While our experience of time is linear, our re-experience of time can happen anyway we choose!
Unfortunately, we often choose to relive the most painful parts of our life while the happiest memories become ever fuzzier as time passes.
I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but we’ve been rocking health articles on Wednesdays. (Bonus points if you have! Extra points if you can figure out what we’ve been doing the rest of the week. 
)
Unfortunately, today I feel anything but healthy! I am coming off the back end of a cold, but the worst part of the whole thing is that I am dehydrated.
Want the inside track on what it takes to rock the awesome in marriage? Corey Allen (Ph.D. and fabulous marriage coach) let me interrogate him pump him for information on what it really takes to make marriage rock.
What’s the #1 mistake most people are making in their marriage?
It’s very common that people blame their spouse for their experience in marriage.
If they would just do this… or stop doing that… then everything would be okay. Reality is that we co-create what happens in our life. If I want something to change in my marriage or my life, I must change. I am responsible for my change and growth, not my spouse’s.
You know that scene in an awesome science fiction show that shall remain nameless where the Chief Engineer is all “Captain, we’ll crack the dilithium crystals if we continue to run the ship outside of Starfleet guidelines!”?
Well that ship is your car and your “check engine” light is your Chief Engineer.
Cars (like our bodies) are pretty amazing pieces of engineering. They will continue to run in suboptimal conditions until they seem to suddenly fall apart. But until then, they’ll get the job done.
Mike Rowe – the host of “Dirty Jobs” on the Discovery Channel – has collected roadkill, plugged abandoned mine shafts, and recently gave a talk at the 2008 TED conference.
“We’ve declared war on work, as a society – all of us.
It’s a civil war. It’s a cold war, really. We didn’t…we didn’t set out to do it and we didn’t twist our mustache in some Machiavellian way but we’ve done it. And we have waged this war on at least four fronts.
Certainly in Hollywood, the way we portray working people on TV. It’s laughable. If there’s a plumber, he’s 300 lbs. and he’s got a giant butt crack. Admit it, you see this all the time. That’s what plumbers look like, right?
We turn them into heroes or we turn them into punchlines.”

It was so bad, sometimes I couldn’t sleep. I just sat bolt upright in bed like a zombie, exhausted and wrung out.
Stupid bronchitis.
It just wouldn’t go away and I was more than flirting with “chronic” territory. I had been dealing with it for almost 4 months. (That’s longer than probation at a new job! It’s 1/3 of a whole year!)
I figured it would eventually go away. I’ve always been pretty healthy. Built like a Mac Truck. Sooo the opposite of delicate.
