PITSTOP PIONEERS

In a recent conversation, I reflected on my journey over the past few years, especially through the most challenging season of my life. Looking back, I realize how far I’ve come. Life is unpredictable, and none of us can fully prepare for dramatic changes, regardless of our strength, education, or circumstances. We must confront whatever challenges arise. I often wonder how people navigate these difficulties without faith; even with it, the journey can feel daunting. One key lesson I've learned is to take things one step at a time. Progress may seem slow or even like regression, but eventually, you'll look back in amazement at how far you've traveled. However, even when the path ahead is unclear, as we keep moving forward, our vision will become clearer!Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

Aging is part of life’s journey, and despite our efforts to resist it, we cannot escape its progression. This brings forth specific challenges, particularly when we consider the aging members of our family. The question often arises about who will provide care for them, and if we recognize that we too will someday be in their position, we may begin to view this issue differently. Depending on individual needs, additional support might be necessary. Beyond that, it begs the question: why wouldn’t we want to care for our elders, who once cared for us? Perhaps the lyrics from a song by Twenty One Pilots says it best: “Find your grandparents or someone of age, pay some respects for the path that they paved. To life they were dedicated. Now, that should be celebrated!”Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

Just when you think the snow from the last storm is finally melting away, it returns, and this time, there’s even more of it. This winter feels like the longest and coldest I can remember. Despite the challenges of frigid temperatures and the endless task of shoveling snow, there’s a beauty in the serene landscape created by the thick blanket of snow, which transforms everything into a calm and peaceful scene. The only sound breaking the silence is the rhythmic scraping of the shovel. While I was outside shoveling, I finally met my neighbor across the street, who was engaged in the same task. It seems that a snowstorm can truly bring people together. How about that! Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

In many places, nature is defined by four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. These seasons often reflect phases in our lives, guiding us in understanding our current circumstances. Recognizing the season we are in can help us navigate life more effectively. Each season also brings its own unique foods, highlighting the different produce we enjoy throughout the year. From a commercial standpoint, the idea of celebrating seasons by introducing specific seasonal items is appealing. However, a downside is that these items often appear earlier and disappear before the season officially begins, which can be joyful experience for some and a frustrating one for others. So make sure to get your seasonal items on time, so you can fully enjoy them.Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

Like many of us, we often create plans for various aspects of our lives, which is generally beneficial. However, it’s common for some of these plans to face interruptions and not come to fruition as intended. How do we navigate these changes? Personally, I believe in the principle that having a plan is important, yet also remaining flexible to change the plan is crucial. Nevertheless, some adjustments can be more difficult than others. Yet, if we are willing to let go of our plans, and give them over to God, we often find that what unfolds is far better than what we initially envisioned. Yet, we tend to cling tightly to our desire for control. Are we ready to surrender our own plans in favor of a larger, divine plan? Are we open to allowing God to reshape our plans and see what can happen, what He can do?Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

I enjoy spending time outdoors, so when I received an invitation to dinner during a snowstorm, two thoughts immediately crossed my mind. First, I love food and didn't want to miss out on the opportunity, and second, when else would I have the experience of walking in a snowstorm to talk about it later? So, I decided to suit up, faced and braced the elements, and ventured out for an hour and six minutes through the snow. It was about more than just reaching my destination; it was about the experiences along the way. In the end, the saying “der Weg ist das Ziel” reminds us that the journey itself is what truly matters.Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

Life is unpredictable, much like the weather. Yet, there appears to be a recurring ten-year cycle for significant snowstorms in the Northeast. I remember the last major storm vividly, and as I write this, we are currently enduring another one. Amid the white powder that is falling down, cold winds and the ice that forms on the ground due to the frigid temperatures, along with the efforts of salting and shoveling, there remains magical and mystical quality to the scene. Everything transforms into a blanket of white, and the only sounds you notice are the gentle snowfall on your winter coat and the crunch of your footsteps in the snow. Stay warm…Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

Baking bread offers a unique experience that stands apart from regular cooking or baking. It has a primal quality that resonates deeply, requiring only four essential ingredients: water, salt, yeast, and flour. This simple process fosters a connection to the earth, reminding us of the origins of these basic yet vital components, and the result is not only delicious but also profoundly satisfying. Remarkably, you can complete this process in just two hours, it’s doable, eatable and beautiful. And it’s spiritual as the bread itself embodies life; it feels alive, and you can hear it come to life as it cools after being taken out of the oven. With that in mind, this baker man is baking bread on a regular basis, eagerly willing to share the loaf!Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

Good to be back! I know it’s been a while, but sometimes you need to take a break for various reasons, and trust me, I have have my own.Yesterday, I stepped outside, removed my shoes and socks, and placed my feet on the ground. It’s a wonderful sensation and quite humbling as it reminds me of my origins, formed from the earth and thus connected to it. As I sat down and surveyed my surroundings, I was filled with awe, gazing at the sun that warms my body, feeling the earth beneath my feet, and absorbing all the life around me because everything is interconnected, all that He has created for me to enjoy and recognize as I express my gratitude in humble reverence and worship at my altar to the God who made all of this! Psalm 5:3 captures it perfectly: “At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart”!Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

What’s important in life? This question came up during a conversation with a friend, and here is his response: 1. Peace and quiet. 2. Food, good food. 3. Friends and Family. I totally agree with these priorities, and I believe they align closely with the values of Hobbits. Thus, I can confidently say that I am a Hobbit. To illustrate this, I turn to a quote from Bilbo Baggins: “It has been remarked by some that Hobbits' only real passion is for food. A rather unfair observation as we have also developed a keen interest in the brewing of ales and the smoking of pipe weed. But where our hearts truly lie is in peace and quiet and good tilled earth. For all Hobbits share a love of all things that grow. And yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint. But today of all days, it is brought home to me it is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life!”Join the conversation! Godspeed, TomPS THANK YOU for being on this journey with me.

I recorded this a while ago and intended to share it sooner, but I needed some rest and more sleep. Having spent much of my life trying to change the world, I learned that I needed to slow down to foster change first within myself, which takes time. Life is a marathon, not a sprint, so rest is essential. Sleep, then, is not weak, but if neglected will make us weak!Join the conversation!

Twenty Thousand runners for this year’s Rocky Run in Philly, and our team Double Soft & Sassy was among them. What an amazing experience it was, even though our main team member was missing. Yes, Billy Balboa was not able to make it, but we still made it all the way to the finish line because we ate lightning… Join the conversation!

A team is only as good as its team members and let me tell you Double Soft & Sassy has it all. And we are ready to take it to the streets of Philadelphia for the upcoming Rocky Run, because we’ve put in the work; training, practice runs, yes, the whole 9 yards. Obviously, every athlete has his own personal training program and technique. Leading the pack with his unique and unconventional approach that is totally out of the box, is Billy with his box!

For those of you who have kids, you won’t be surprised at the creativity that they possess. And that creativity can come in many different forms. The one I want to point out is the creativity with words. There have been many made-up or created words that my kids came up with and maybe you are reminded right now by some that your kids came up with as well… However, the one I want to share with you today is called Lookkee Legs by my daughter Lillibeth.

Billy is getting ready for a run, and it’s not just any kind of run, no, it is THE run, the Rocky run. And let me tell you, he not only started to practice getting in shape for the big day, but he also actually started to like to run… matter of fact he loves running.

Sometimes you got nothing and in due time you got something… or even everything. And the trick is to wait for something or everything to come, because you can’t force it. It comes when it needs to come and that is not the way we like it. However, for me something came through a conversation, yes, a conversation with the one and only Bill Marino.

Words are quite something, I am telling you. I remember my kids coming up with new words when they were younger, words that I am still using to this day. Asshoke was not one of them.

Pumpkins are everywhere right now. It seems like they just pop up before the summer is even over. Listen, I like pumpkins like any other guy, but some of the hype is a bit much for me.

If it would be up to me I would just love to jump from Spring into Fall and hit repeat. Fortunately where I live there are four seasons and I think that’s just the way it supposed to be. However, there are also seasons in life, that we just would love to jump, especially if we face a dry or unfruitful season, or when there is little; or simply nothing. And even that needs to be OK. Because if you got nothing, you got nothing. Just wait for the next wave to hit that will bring something! Join the conversation!

Every year it happens and most of the time it happens too fast, and if we don’t pay attention then we’ll miss it… the changing of the seasons; from summer to fall.

For most of us life is busy and we tend to race through life, instead of just walking. Therefore, we should stop once in a while and take a step back before we keep going. Because if we don’t, we might miss a lot of things; little things, good things which enrich not only those around us, but us. So let’s stop and let God, who promises us to be with us in whatever we face and go through in life, walk with us! Join the conversation!

Stories are important, especially if they come from sources that lived through a time in history. What a privilege to listen to eyewitnesses who can give us an account of what happened years ago, which can help us to appreciate the freedom we have today. In this case it’s the account of a WW2 veteran, who flew 38 missions. Facing horror and peril, yet not once did he or his team complain about the responsibility and hardship that was thrust upon them. No wonder they are called the greatest generation.

We all go through different seasons in life. Therefore, sometimes you need a break in order to process, digest or work through some things in life… focus on yourself so to speak, self care or lets say take a look at the inner life of yourself; the heart, the soul.

On my journey as I learned to slow down, my vision became clearer for the things around me, like what’s important and what I value.

Life comes with all kinds of experiences, whether good or bad, uplifting or challenging… it is part of the journey. We all go through storms that come our way, trying to keep our balance, not to fall. However, sometimes we do get knocked down and if we do, we need to make sure to fall forward… and get back up again! Join the conversation!

He won’t shave nor trim his beard during the month of November, and maybe beyond that. At least that’s what he told me. I am talking about the one and only Bill Marino. What can I say, he is an inspiration. What do you think about NO SHAVE NOVEMBER and should Billy keep his beard after this month? Join the conversation!

Time for another intermission, the stuff in between! Taking breaks is important, at least it has become important to me, coming from a guy who has been running through life…until I stopped running. So sit down, relax, enjoy a cup of coffee as I share what’s on my heart. THANK YOU for watching and listening and for being on this journey with me.

Yesterday Billy told me that he will bring in homemade chili for lunch today. Somehow I thought that he would bring in a little extra to share with me… I guess that was wishful thinking on my part. Therefore I had to dig out this recording to remind me where I got my fair share of chili. However, the question remains open, did Billy make the chili himself this time around?

BE STILL Usually our lives are busy; too busy. We’re running instead of walking; we’re moving too fast. Therefore we miss some important things along the way and often we only learn to pay attention to those things if our lives are forced to slow down by somethings beyond our control. Then we start to pay attention, start to listen as we slow down, quiet down and become still. Slow is better, less is more! Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God! Join the conversation!

I remember when I received my first watch from my Godfather when I was about the same age as my daughter, for whom we just got her first watch as a graduation gift from middle school. She got herself a MoonSwatch. As a Swiss I am a staunch supporter of analog watches, which for me not only helps to tell time, but is a steady reminder that God holds my destiny and its timing in His hands (Psalm 16:5 - TPT Bible), each time I look at it!

About 15 years ago someone told me that her son saw me on YouTube. I kindly replied that she must be mistaken, yet out of curiosity I did check and to my surprise there was our reenactment of the Budweiser Wassup commercial with over 1 million hits on someones YouTube channel. After 25 years, I think it’s about time that we release the original GRÜÄN TEE - WAS ISCH LOS and GREEN TEA - WHAT IS UP by Selfish Harry Productions. Since we had to downsize the original video in order to send it around by Email (that was before YouTube was around), the video quality is…well, what it is. Enjoy! Join the conversation!

My son is something else, quite a character. I love the fact that has the courage to try new things and the confidence that whatever he’s trying will work. In this story he accomplished to make a fire in his own way . All I could say and did say was: Great job, son. I am proud of you! Join the conversation!

Even though I recorded this a while back, I don’t want to withold the following cooking episode from you. Billy is back in the kitchen and let me tell you he ain’t messing around.

There are moments in life that are just special and you know when you experience them, because you won’t ever forget them. The other day I got my son his first hiking boots and let me tell you, seeing the joy on his face and the fact that he wants to wear them all the time, not only made his day, but also made mine. All that’s left to do now is to go out there on an adventure! Join the conversation!

Time for another intermission, the stuff in between! There is so much going on around us 24/7 and therefore it is wise to escape the busyness and flood of information that hits us everyday.

Books are great, not only to read them but to own them. And sometimes it happens that you own a lot of them but did not have the time yet to read them all. Well, we go through different seasons in life, I think I just entered a season where I read more books again; and I love it. So, pick up a good book, sit down and escape into another world as you turn the pages… Join the conversation!

Usually when a storm is brewing, one should not plan to go outside, but rather find shelter. Well, and sometimes you just need to go outside and look at what’s about to come down; face the storm so to speak. It reminded me of an experience I had with my daughter when we were on a hike and it started to rain. We decided to keep going even though it started to pour and we got soaked. And though it felt uncomfortable, we both felt very comfortable being out there with each other and having a story to tell that we won’t forget! Join the conversation!

What better way to start the day with a cup of coffee. Here I am sitting in the parking lot with my favorite mug, having a moment to myself. A moment where I don’t plan what is next, but simply be in that moment. This ain’t easy because most of us have too much going on and we miss out on moments like this.

Birthday’s are here to be celebrated and if you’re not able to get together on that particular date with the birthday child; a phone call, a text message or a card will send a message, that you care, that you love and that you thought of that special person.

I lived in Switzerland most of my life, but never made it up to one of the most famous mountains; the Pilatus… until on my last trip. And boy, was it worth it.
