This week provided a few different challenges for running goals. On one hand, my travel was extended due to a snow storm and I had meetings all day that interrupted my training plans. On the other, I signed up for a 50k run in Moab with relatively little training. Both could pose very real challenges […]
You can’t reach your goals if you don’t get started. And two weeks in, I am sticking with it, even with challenges of work meetings and travel. Running was a bit of a challenge with icy roads for a few days, but a treadmill and audiobooks saved the day. Vision without action is merely a […]
Life happens and time changes things. We learn how to buy better beef, runner smarter races, and write better blog posts. As my blogging efforts near a decade, I realized it may be time for those to change as well. Agriculture Proud will always be an important chapter in my story, but recognizing that my […]
I have no family at home or major ties that keep me at home every night. So instead of buying things, I invest my money and flexible time into travel experiences. Like my trip last week to Arizona. I find myself lucky to be able to work on the road. While I may not be […]
All good things must come to an end. At least that’s what they say. It’s been a difficult beginning to the year. No one tells you exactly how to handle unexpected unemployment. Though everyone does expect you to keep a positive front in public and on social media. I’ve been keeping myself busy and afloat […]
One of my favorite events of the year is coming up and I can’t wait to see friends and co-workers from across the country as we all converge in Nashville for some great BBQ and live music. Of course, there will be some great educational meetings and speakers there as well. The 2017 Cattle Industry […]
When family members requested my Christmas Wish List this past month, I had a very difficult time coming up with items. I’ve spent much of 2016 decluttering – scanning and shredding old paperwork, cleaning out the closets and donating unused items, and reducing the general amount of clutter around me. I also dedicated much of […]
There are certainly worse ways to spend a week on the road. After all, I love new travel adventures Last week, I packed the bags for 6 days of travel, meetings and wrapped up with hosting a golf tournament at Big Sky Resort. The event was a fundraiser for the Stockgrowers Foundation and included a […]
Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to Portland, Oregon for the 2014 AgChat Foundation Regional Conference. The 2-day Conference is a smaller scale of our national conference (2014 national location to be announced soon!) and is a great opportunity for folks on a beginner level to get a more intimate opportunity to learn […]
When you’re flying out of Helena, Montana, there are two choices for flying out of town. Either you fly out at 6 a.m. or you leave on one of two mid-day flights. And during the winter, you can pretty much bet on delays somewhere along the way. Since I had just returned from the AgChat […]
