Without a doubt, my biggest failure was my divorce. I haven’t thought about my divorce as failure for a long time, and I also feel that it is something that is over, in the past. It’s kind of weird, I don’t associate with that feeling any longer – I don’t…

Just to “announce” it again, the psoas is my favourite muscle! I wrote about it on the blog end of August last year (in the article “Psoas work works”). Still not done with this muscle, probably never will. The psoas is perhaps a muscle you have never heard of, but…
