Trouble Sleeping?
In a day and age filled with prescriptions to get us through just about every aspect of each day and season of life, I want to offer up one simple trick that I’ve recently picked up along with my resolution to write weekly hand-written letters to family and close friends. Writing heartfelt letters and notes to loved-ones has brought such intense amounts of peace and accomplishment to my life. I find that completing this task at or around bedtime has enabled me to get both my mind and even my body relaxed and ready to sleep. So before your next trip to the counter to purchase a sleeping aid please try my simple trick and see if it works for you as well. My hope is that you’ll not only find yourself sleeping better, but someone close to you may sleep better as well after they’ve received your thoughtful message of honesty and encouragement.



The last few months have been eventful for Moore. In October, his grandfather passed away. Two days later, Moore’s lung inexplicably collapsed, and he was in the hospital for a week. The day after he was released, his job was eliminated during a corporate down-sizing. And a month after that, his pregnant wife, Ariana, ended up in the hospital due to complications. She’s on bed-rest until April when their baby boy is due. The couple just moved here from Los Angeles to take a job with fitness equipment manufacturer, CYBEX. All this got Moore thinking about his own mortality. "We were sitting at my grandpa’s death bed for a week, thinking he would die any minute," says Moore. "Not knowing if he could hear us, we kept trying to talk to him because he couldn’t speak. Because of all the tears, none of us could speak either. And I thought at that moment, ‘If we were only disciplined enough to tell people how we feel earlier.’ And writing is such a great medium for that."
