Breathing Space for Autumn

As the trees let go of their leaves, let go of what no longer applies

As summer gives way to autumn, use the season to enhance your breathing space. Clear the dead wood. As the trees let go of their leaves, why not let go of what no longer applies or can be given away?

Go through your kitchen cabinets, get all canned goods you don’t want or need, and donate them to your local food bank or homeless shelter. See if you can eliminate four things from your to-do list each week. Schedule at least an hour of uninterrupted time for yourself each day.

Put aside some of your earnings this month as an investment or for a vacation. Better yet, deposit your money into an interest-bearing account and don’t look at it or touch it again until at least the end of the year.

Act Now!

Before it gets too cold, spend a Saturday morning cleaning all of your windows with vinegar and water. You’ll be amazed at the dimness you’ve accepted as light for so long. Set up your own home recycling center so you can conveniently stash newspapers, cans, bottles, and so forth. Knowing you’re helping the environment can give you a sense of breathing space.

Daylight savings time ends in eight weeks, so take advantage of fall evenings. Attend a free lecture some evening about a topic that is outside of your professional interests. Instead of listening to the radio or stereo, buy a self-help, motivational, or fiction tape. Libraries loan books on tape, too. Do this monthly.

Last, take one last swim in a nearby outdoor pool or lake. And take your children apple picking one autumn afternoon!

About Kevin Sorbo:

Hailing from Norwegian ancestry, Kevin was born in Mound, Minnesota, USA. His mother worked as a nurse and his father taught junior high school resulting in a down to earth upbringing that forged the outstanding work ethic Kevin holds to this day. By the time he was in University, Kevin was covering tuition costs with modeling work which swiftly translated into a career in television with his first appearances on Prime Time shows such as Murder She Wrote and The Commish.

In 1993, Kevin emerged as a full fledged international TV star when he was cast as the lead role of Hercules in a series of TV films that would lay the groundwork for the immensely popular series, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Kevin also guest-starred as Hercules in episodes of the successful spin-off series Xena: Warrior Princess as well as providing his voice to the animated Hercules films.

In 1997 Kevin accepted his first leading film role in the fantasy action feature Kull the Conquerer.

Along the way, Kevin played characters in video games such as Mortal Kombat 4, God of War and The Conduit.

Kevin guest starred on the sitcom Two and a Half Men and played a recurring role on the final season of The O.C. One glimpse at Kevin’s imdb and it’s clear that this hard working actor takes no breaks! In addition to his work onscreen, Kevin now also produces films, recently serving as Executive Producer and star of the movie Abel’s Field.

Kevin recently authored the widely praised book, True Strength, that recounts the painful recovery from serious health setbacks that changed his life during his Hercules years.

Sorbo married actress Sam Jenkins, whom he met during her guest appearance on Hercules in 1998. They have three children together, Braeden, Shane and Octavia.

Besides his successful career in entertainment, Kevin has always devoted a hearty portion of his time to causes he believes in. In 2005 he was named successor to Arnold Schwarzenegger as the national spokesperson for The Afterschool Alliance, a nonprofit working to ensure that all children have access to quality after school programs, and since ‘97 Kevin has donated his time as the spokesperson for the non profit organization, A World Fit For Kids.
