Schell Goes Green! Lloyd Schell's green biking machines that is...

Going green isn't just about the environment anymore.

With gas prices soaring, we all seem to be watching the green go, go, go.

But

For Lloyd Schell of Lockwood, Montana, watching the green go, go, go has taken on a whole new meaning.

After a work related injury, which affects the strength in his back and legs, Lloyd needed to come up with a new way to make a living that didn't involve a lot of manual labor. And one in which he could work at his own pace.

Sunrise Over the Palm Trees (Part 1)

During my sophomore year of college at Arizona State University (Tempe, AZ) I would get up almost every morning between 5:00 and 5:30 and ride my bike over to the track where I would join the other morning joggers. I am very much a morning person, but this is not the reason I would run so early in the day.

It was just too freakin' hot once the sun came up!

For those of you who run or jog long distance, you are going to understand the feeling I am about to describe. In runner's terms, it's called "hitting the wall."

As I've written before...people shock the hell out of me!

It happened again.

What Does Your Moniker Reveal About You?

The Internet is an interesting place. It allows us to travel throughout the world without ever leaving our home town. It provides ways of building bridges without ever pounding a nail. It opens doors of opportunity to meet people who speak a different language or live under a different set of stars.

Yes, the Internet is an interesting place. Given all of these incredible possibilities to create unlimited growth in life what do most people do? Hide behind a fake moniker.

I DO CARE.

Two days ago I received a FWD to my inbox that I'd received once
before, but deleted it after reading only the first two lines. This
time I read it in full.

YIKES!

A feeling of disgust that I'd deleted the FWD the first time washed
over me. Why didn't I read it and respond to the sender then? If I were
at a party and heard someone actually saying the words written in the
FWD, I would constructively and in love respond to the storyteller. So,
why did I not do that with an email?

Kudos to Starbucks.
