“The law of nature is, Do the thing, and you shall have the power:  But they who do not the thing have not the power.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson Accountability is the backbone of the entire Genesis Transformation process.   It defines the role of the coach as much as it names the end point of a […]

The Genesis Transformation community has it’s own outlet for support – a private forum embedded into Genesis itself where folks go and celebrate, whine, cajole, humor, and support each other.  It’s a fun place to hang out.

This morning I took  four dogs on a hike up a rocky winding trail.  For most of the hike, it was dry and steep and hot.  When I started thinking about turning around with the panting dogs, I made a decision to go just a bit further; I wasn’t crunched for time.  We climbed another […]

My friend Jeannette went for a 15 mile hike this last weekend with a group of friends she’d not seen in years.  When she came out of the woods, she headed to the local mini-mart and bought a Big Gulp diet coke and sloshed it down because “I was really thirsty.”  Her first diet coke […]
