Someone once told me it’s impossible to have a successful family life, personal life and career life. They said, “Work, family, self. Pick two, you can’t have all three”. Well, that inspired me to have all three and avoid compartmentalizing the important areas of life along the way. The purpose of this blog is to inspire others and share what inspires me. Due to my passion for sports, outdoor adventures, travel and technology, I’ll tend to post on those topics often. Also, I’m the Founder of Digital Royalty where I do things like this.

I am not a professional writer and tend to type like I talk so beware of grammatical errors and feel free to proof my posts. Here’s a little more about my “story” to date . . . http://www.amyjomartin.com/2010/nike-make-yourself/
