The Schoolhouse Beach Principle
If you are from Wisconsin or have ever visited, you may have heard of Door County. Famous for cherries and art festivals, among other things, Door County paints a picturesque backdrop for even the most mundane of days. The beauty of the landscape has been celebrated for decades and the change of colors in the leaves every autumn draws photographers and nature lovers from all over the world. Those willing to go the extra mile may have even made it to Ellison Bay and caught a short ferry ride up to Washington Island.
#Positively Stressed - Week 13
In the Navy we had a saying, “A complaining sailor is a happy sailor.” While it may sound counterintuitive, there is a deeper meaning behind this concept about mental health and stress management in any environment – workplace or otherwise.
#Positively Stressed - Week 12

#Positively Stressed - Week 6
This week, people and organizations around the world observed #WorldCancerDay, embracing the theme "United by Unique." But what does this truly mean?
Hunter “Patch” Adams once said, “You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win, no matter the outcome.” This quote resonates deeply when we think about how stress affects those facing life-changing diagnoses.
#Positively Stressed - Week 4
I told my family that I was going to start writing about stress and wanted to hear their thoughts.

#Positively Stressed - Week 1
I am an attorney, non-combat disabled veteran, cancer survivor, husband, girl-dad, dog-dad, and community board member.

Why am I saying all of this?
Coming soon.
Starting tomorrow I will be featuring a weekly piece written by a good friend of mine. A US Navy veteran and lawyer (among other things) Steve Delcuze is a friend I met in college.
