The Bed Head Chronicles

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles.   So I get admitted into hospital on Friday, and I know I'm going to be there for probably about a month. So what I've done is I've created some vision boards and also some memory boards so that I am constantly reminded of this incredible life that I live and what I hope for in the future because I am going to conquer this cancer. I ha...

Morning everyone and welcome to the Bed. Head Chronicles.    I'm here with my superhero wife, Rebecca, and we are driving to UC Health for my second cycle bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture, which we're praying are going to look really good so that I am clear to be admitted into the hospital on Friday for my bone marrow transplant on the 21st.   In the same moment, in another car, my mom, who...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to offer up a thought for you because this is something I try and do in my life. I want you to love yourself so much that you only allow yourself to think thoughts that feel good. Basically choosing your own energy level every second of every day, no matter what's going on around you. Really pay attention to what you're f...

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about death and dying. Yes, I know, it's a horrible thought. But think about it...whenever we are faced with the prospect of our own lives ending, or someone we love either dying or being faced with the possibility of death, what it does is that it inspires us. It inspires us to work to live our lives to its fulle...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want you to think about what are the rules that you set for yourself for things like being able to feel proud? Or being able to feel joy? What does it take for you -- or what do you have to accomplish in order to feel proud of yourself? Is it having to accomplish some long-held dream or goal that you've had? Or is it smiling a...

Today, I want to talk about loneliness. How many of you have had moments where you feel lonely if there's no one else around you? You try to find something to do -- try to watch a movie, read a book, you call a friend or you just try and do something to fill your time? What if that moment of loneliness is an invitation for you to connect with yourself? To connect with your soul, the things that yo...

Today, I want you to recognize the power of your thinking. The power and the energy you put out into the world, every single day. Have you ever had a day where you started thinking, "Ugh, it's going to be such a hard day... Ugh, these things that I have to deal with...these people that are problems..." And inevitably, it's a hard day. The energy that you put out there -- the experience is going to...

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. So, I now have a clear plan of what my next few months are going to look like. What I've discovered is, probably around February 14th, I will be going into the hospital to get prepared for my stemcell transplant and recover from it. Once I can leave the hospital, which will be about 2-4 weeks after the transplant, I have to live in Denver...

I am headed to the hospital for Day 3, Cycle 2, for treatment with my amazing, A-team wife wearing her Bed Head Chronicles sweatshirt. She's taking me once again, every day. I'm so deeply grateful to have her love, support, and devotion. And as we were driving, I was thinking about certain beliefs that we developed growing up. Maybe you had a teacher that you informed that you wanted to be a scien...

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about how often we ask ourselves the question, "What am I doing wrong? What have I done wrong? What am I missing?" The question of lack. When really, the question should be "What am I doing right? What do I have? What do I need to continue to do? What's wonderful?" For some reason, we all tend to focus on the negat...

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I'm going to give you a little bit of an update about my health. But I'm also hoping that the story that I share will help you with some of the things you're going through in your own life. So, I have just finished the first cycle of my clinical trial. Now, my dream is that I would be in remission after the first cycle so that I...

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about being afraid and feeling fear. We all feel fear. When something matters to us we feel fear. I used to feel fear going into every single race that I raced, every school session that I did in preparation for those races, and I feel afraid, now, going into or being in the midst of the biggest challenge of my li...

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I woke up thinking about this and I'm just going to use a couple of examples. My mom is absolutely incredible. She's 76 years old and she runs a dog grooming parlor in Boulder. And it is like the best dog grooming parlor I've ever seen in the world. She loves on the dog. She does such a beautiful job. Her groomers do such a beaut...

Today, I want you to think about those moments in your life where you achieve something that you'd always wanted to achieve. Or you accomplished something that you don't make dreamed of accomplishing before. Or you made it through a really tough time and you got out the other side. Think about those moments in your life that you can feel so proud of yourself and look back and see just the incredib...

Today, I woke up thinking about the fact that the past week, I've had a really good week. In the past week, some days I've woken up and I feel good. And because I feel good I'll go for a walk with my mom and all our dogs. Maybe, later on, I'll still feel good, so I'll go and I'll get up on my Peloton and I'll do a bike ride. Obviously. I'm not doing anything hard or performing in any way, but I'm...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. I was asked yesterday if I always have this positive attitude that I'm going to make it through this and there's no doubt in all of that. Let me tell you that in my whole life, I have learned from the great Tony Robbins, many years ago, that the focus and meaning that we give things and what we choose to do about it create our entire e...

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Obviously going through what I'm going through right now, I've been focusing a lot on how I can heal, not only my body, but my mind, my spirit, and my soul. One of the things I wanted to speak with you all about today is the healing power of forgiveness. Think about the people in your life that have either hurt you or disappointed you....

Good morning, everyone and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to share with you one of my very dear friends who gave me this book "The Dynamic Laws of Healing" by Catherine Ponder. I started reading it last night and I couldn't stop. It was amazing. It all has to do with the thought that dis-ease (or disease) can be caused by an imbalance in your thinking. Thinking negative thoughts...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. And Merry Christmas Eve! I feel so incredibly grateful to be home for Christmas. I'm feeling deeply blessed, especially from all the love and support from all of you. I want to share a story with you. I got an email the other day where a person said, "Are you aware of the statistics of your disease and the odds of you surviving this? H...

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the bed head chronicles. Today, I want to talk about this amazing quote that a dear friend of mine sent to me the other day. It says "Everything you are going through is preparing you for what you asked for." Let me begin by going back to when I was an athlete. I remember some of the hardest things that happened like getting injured when I was in my prime fitn...

Welcome everyone, and welcome to the bed head chronicles. I've been home for a few days. I was in the hospital for about a week and have been able to be home. During my treatments from home, we drive to the hospital a couple of days a week. It's been amazing being home. Obviously, with a lot of time on my hands, I've been doing a lot of thinking. You all know that my biggest thing is fearless auth...

Hi, everybody. Day 7. I got to go home on Friday. So, now we just drive into the hospital to get my treatments. It's early -- 7:30 in the morning.   I got my wife up at 5.  And it's December 15th.  This is her last IV of chemo, for now, for another three weeks! We're so excited. I have to say I was just talking to our amazing nurse here today. The staff at this hospital are amazing at UC Health an...

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I've obviously been doing a lot of thinking about life and how interesting it can be. We often go through our lives feeling like we are controlling everything we need to in order to get the result that we are hoping for. For example, with me, I've got this great diet and I eat healthily, I exercise, I take care of my mind, body, an...

Good morning, everyone.  And welcome to the Bed Head Chronicles. Today, I want to talk about when somebody in your life -- or you, yourself -- somebody that you love or someone you just hear about is given some really bad news.  Just last week, I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. I don't want you to feel sad for me or pity me because I truly believe that God only gives us what he knows we...
