Not Tired Yet
Call to book me as a speaker for your business agenda, church, club or organization. We are signing up for functions in March and April now.
You know that the schedule for "A Second Chance" has been pretty hectic. We aren't finished yet. "A Second Chance" has been Chip'n Away at Heart Disease with good success and I have had to reorder. Books and bracelets too are getting in the hands of those in need as well as those interested in having their personal copy.
Veterans High School and Houston County High School have placed a couple copies in the school libraries. THANKS to both the principals for their support!
I have enjoyed the speaking engagements and meeting new people. You know what helps...that we are not alone in experiences. It doesn't bother me to talk about what happened. It is sorta like loss of a loved one. It is difficult to act as though they were never on the face of the earth. There are constant reminders and the emotional affect of dealing with loss which can feel like it was yesterday, even if it was years ago. A miracle happened to me. Why shouldn't I share that? It helps to talk so I am going to keep on ticking.

This One is for YOU !
DON'T GET TIRED OF HEARING IT . . . .
It's not about me, but the many who suffer with some form of cardiovascular disease. I will fight for you. Can I count on your help?
Cardiovascular disease refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke.
Most of the time heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices. For example, treatments include some prescription medications as well as cardiovascular activity and a low carbohydrate, healthy foods diet.
No, it doesn't mean surgery. . . don't get that messed up in your head. Please don't skip regular be aware of risk factors and get regular check-ups. I didn't want to hear that I was sick. My condition could only be treated with a new heart. I wanted to live. AND I WANT YOU TO LIVE TOO.
Check out my itinerary . . . come see me. ~Coach Chip
A Hearty Hobby and (Chore)
I am a Bermuda grass man myself :)
I am asked many times if I have any more games left in me or if I would want to come back to maintain the playing fields I once kept for the school system. I am comfortable to say "no" to both questions. I am perfectly content watching from the stands. Sometimes we have to know when to say when. Keep in mind I was in good health during my tenure in the school system. I retired because it was t i m e after 32 years of dedication.
When I did coach, a part-time task was to take care of four playing fields by myself. That's right-I said it. Full-time after retirement until late June, 2010. I couldn't let home be deprived because of the amount of time at the other four locations that I maintained. I was proud of the accomplishments and the community began to notice as well as understand what went into this major task.
What do you think?
Me too.
I enjoyed talking about grass and lawn care. I would attend turfgrass meetings to stay abreast of the trade. Many times I would call Field Managers for large colleges or universities. It was obvious when I had someone on the other end of the phone that love what they did to keep the fields looking good for televised games.
It is time for you to put out the pre-emergence on the lawn. This is necessary to stop the weeds from overtaking your lawn in the spring.
