What is wrong with Putin?

How Many National Parks Have You Been To?
The United States has 63 designated National Parks, and Utah is home to five of the best (yes, I'm a little biased, but seriously, they are fantastic). What is it about these beautiful landscapes that calm us and make us feel alive at the same time? We live 99% of our lives in a routine world consisting primarily of walls, but when we finally break free, that 1% is glorious!
Snow Day

Bacon Is Delicious - Merry Christmas
Truth is not relative. It does not change based on where you are from or what your opinion is. Truth laughs at the consensus of the human population. It is not concerned with what the majority or the minority thinks. It just is, and…
A Unique Perspective
This morning I woke up early with a bit of a sore throat. I got up and made some hot water and honey, which usually helps. I left my glasses in the room, and I decided to go without them, not wanting to disturb my wife. As I sat on the couch sipping my magical tonic, I enjoyed the peace of the early morning and the warm glow of the Christmas tree.
Fighting The Voices In Our Head
Life is a labyrinth of tunnels, doors, zig-zags, dead ends, and, sometimes, glorious vistas. The captain of our ship as we navigate these complicated waters are the voices in our head. Outside voices give us advice, teach us, tear us down or lift us up, but they don't turn the rudder. Any action we take is because we think, determine, and then do.
We Need Your Help
This year we want to help 10 people in need with 100% free hearing aids. We only have two problems. 1. We need your help identifying 10 people with hearing loss who cannot afford hearing aids independently. 2…..

The Dark Side Of Humans
Most of us come out pretty 50/50 on the serving/selfish scale. The truth is that for every kind and gracious thought we have, there's a selfish one that counterbalances it. It's hard to put others first and suppress the desire for self-gratification, power, fame, laziness, and endless fun. Given the opportunity, most humans choose the shortcut and a life of luxury and ease.
We Are All Simba

Why we don’t carry Oticon
We don't carry Oticon because they are overpriced and not one ounce better than Phonak, Unitron, Resound, or Signia. You might ask, "If they aren't any better, why are they more expensive?" Well, buckle up buttercup, because I'm about to explain why.
You Need A Good Belay!
This summer, I took my nephew rappelling down a waterfall. We first had to climb the canyon walls, which got steep in places and pushed him past his comfort zone. He was very nervous but also very brave!
