The Uplifting Empire: Chris Rathje

Back in October and November I listened to the song Live Your Life by TI featuring Rihanna on a loop. I loved the general message of doing what you want with your life and being thankful for what you have. The song made such an impact on me I wanted to write a piece on [...]

I’m currently having a blast at the Knock ‘n Roll wheelchair rugby tournament in Lake Worth Florida. I was very blessed to get an opportunity to play against the national team from Switzerland on Friday.
On the first possession I was in the game I learned a valuable lesson that can be applied [...]

I had the great honor to watch Kung Fu Panda on Tuesday. Once again just like Meet The Robinsons this animated film had so many wonderful lessons about life.
First Po never gave up on his dreams. He was determined to see who the Dragon Warrior would be so he tried time and time [...]

Thanks to everyone who attended my virtual birthday party yesterday. The beautiful thing about the Internet is even if you couldn’t attend yesterday, you can still do it today.
First things first I’m sure plenty of you are wondering about the photo. A few weeks ago my dad sent me that photo and dared me to [...]
