May is Nevada Wildfire Awareness month. Each year the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Division of Forestry, U.S. Forest Service, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension, other program partners and corporate sponsors, work together to educate Nevadans on living with wildfire.

We have seen an increase in motorcycle crashes recently and one has to ask if the riders were prepared for the road. Not all riders are getting their proper endorsements nor are they taking motorcycle rider courses which are offered throughout the State.

This article was inspired by an impromptu coaching session I gave Saturday night. Normally, I don’t coach after 5 pm on a weekend. But this very special friend needed my help. She was exhausted, losing her sense of well-being, and looking for a workshop to attend. After I rattled off a few of my favorites, we got to the meat of the problem. Everyone came first but her.
