Dear Friends and Fans,
If you have been reading my blog, you know that I'm going through a personal growth spurt. I really do enjoy these. They are scary and painful, but I enjoy the feeling because I understand why it is there and from this point on hope to not feel it but be able to empathize with others. But... I learn from this, so I can direct others. To be a leader, you've had to WALK in those SHOES! So, " give it to me"!
I started healing others with my hands and energy @ the age of 22. Dr. Frederick Freed, DC hired me as his office as a back office assistant. I was so excited! I remember rolling around in my yard with excitement. My chance at a real job. I worked with him for 7 years while I worked on my AA and BS. I always knew I was placed here to help others. I told my mother, at a young age, I was going to be a doctor and bodybuilder... LOL. She loved the doctor part and eventually respected and admired the bodybuilder, because she knows me. Well in these early years of life, I discovered something very quickly. I discovered that by the time people got old ( 45-60)...LOL... remember I'm 22 at this time... they were very unsatisfied with life. I found a common denominator here. It included the following: Spouse, children and job. I decided way before this moment that I was not going to get married or have children. I was fortunate to have experienced and judged that at a young age. So, the job? I would have control of, BUT I would become an employer. Whoa! To me... that is a major commitment I will stand by. In my opinion, an employer is responsible for more than 1/2 of an individuals happiness and that is IMPORTANT!
So, I'm in my early 20's and discovering all these issues "Adults" are having. How can this be eased, or yet, prevented? One thing I knew for sure is that, I didn't want to wake up at the age of 45 and wonder "Who am I" and "What have I done with my life". I correlated this with individuals who got married early in life and became a wife and mother before they became a whole person. The children hopefully fly the nest and you look in the mirror and wonder " who are you"?
I came up with my own theory here on how to chronologically mature, and have been living it. Your teens are out of control emotions are flying, fitting in, and being accepted... Yuck! Your 20's... you couldn't pay me with hind site to relive! Who am I. What am I suppose to do? Your 30's... now you're talking. I think it was about the age of 32 that I caught a glimpse of someone in the mirror. Not sure who it is, but I see it's reflection, briefly, but it has me curious. It was 35 when I started finding myself starting back in the mirror trying to figure out what is in those green eyes. I think there is something in there trying to talk to me. It was my person and soul wanting to connect, but could only connect with the introduction of the individual. I started to feel the strength I got out of the relationship between those two indentities discovering each other as a child, an adult, a bodybuilder, a doctor, and yet a person.
I have been so looking forward to my 40's... which is 5.5 months away. I have always pictured this as a time, if matured chronically correct, is filled with self understanding and love, and an establish profession with endless happiness. I'm here feeling pressed for time and have saved the best for last. I'm being slapped across the face time and time again with the one thing I have saved for last. I see it though... and kinda like the challenge of over coming it.
As far as my physique and training. It is all off the hook. Bodybuilding has taught me a way to live my life. Thank god that stuck forever because at times that is my only unconditional love.
LEADERSHIP:
To have courage, to live positively in the optimism and to believe that the worthy, the good and the decent will prevail is the great human obligation and constitutes that rare quality known as LEADERSHIP.
I'm in a state of falling. My arms are open and chest high... frightening but free, as I approach the next decade of my life.

Library Of Life
Dear Friends and Fans,
I've been over here just amazed at how the pages of life start forming your own personal biography. As I get older and more wise, my chapters start to develop. In my quest of self understanding and completeness, I've discovered another part of myself... My thinking process. I get questions all the time on how I handle everything I do. Kris, my assistant, actually helped me with this just by having to now communicate with someone what is on my mind. I have been so busy for the past 7 years that I have organized a growing library in my mind. I told Kris that I expect her to read my mind....LOL... It shouldn't be to difficult because I think aloud.
People always tell me to slow down and smell the coffee. I wrote in a blog some time ago stating that successful people don't sit around at the beginnings to smell coffee? Coffee is a luxury after the work! I have really been thinking of this... my daily thought process. Today... in my today, I'm remembering yesterday to improve tomorrow. I am a person that wears many hats and these hats are novels in my Library Of Life with pages and pages waiting for my experiences. I discovered all of this when I found my self answering questions and ideas Kris had. For example... bought that book but haven't opened it... which means it is a thought in my mind but lower on to do list... dog eared that page... a thought that I have developed some formula for but moderately low on to do list... on that page... working on that as we speak... starting that chapter... action in motion.
http://www.westerfieldhc.com/ is up but not developed. I'll keep up posted on that site or check up on it for yourself. You know what two of the best feelings are? Knowing you make things happen and appreciation for priceless time. We are forever changing... ride the wave... if you fear change, you can only tread water... CATCH A WAVE DUDE!
My Olympic training is off the chain. I'm having a great time and my physique is just stellar. You can see the videos I have on the beginnings of my lifts... I'm getting better. I have such respect for this sport. I preach body mechanics and posture all day long and practice it in my daily life... in Olympic lifting, it's all balancing your center of gravity, strenght, technique and flexibility. What I feel most fortunate about is that I can work with someone who is so experienced himself with the lifts; he is a wonderful coach, and in my state of excellence... it's hard to find someone to respect and take guidance from AND make more improvements than expected. Thank you Mr. Justin Thacker. Check this link out. This is how the lifts are and how my work outs go. The athletes in the gyms here are executing the moves I do in training. It gives me goose bumps to watch.
