“But when I look back I can’t call myself unlucky. My 23rd birthday was December 14. In these years I have had more than most people get in a lifetime.”

*If you knew that this would be your last birthday, how would you define your life?

Watch The Express for clarity.

BODY

Morihei Ueshiba 1883

The Secret Teachings of Aikido: Ueshiba, Morihei, Stevens, John, Ueshiba,  Moriteru: 9781568364469: Amazon.com: Books

In 1936 Morihei Ueshiba renamed his art aiki budo, and in 1942 he emerged with a mature, modified art—now officially called aikido. The new name is a combination of separate ideas: ai means harmony, ki means spirit or energy, and do means discipline

Aikido is an excellent program for all-around physical fitness, flexibility, and relaxation.

*Find a dojo near you and take a class in Aikido.

She works out on an empty stomach, starting her day with “black coffee and a lot of water” 1st thing in the morning. “When the time comes to break the fast, then I do it. I kind of do an 18-hour fast and eat for 6.”

Breakfast: “this crispy rice that has vegetables and avocado and eggs on it,” []

Dinner: “And then for dinner it’s either pasta or pizza or sushi. I’ll admit that I’m not the biggest cook.” []

*You have 6 hours to eat these 2 meals. Don’t eat again for the next 18.

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
