From KT- Nov.7, 2018

Greetings to the Good People of the DaVita Village, and Welcome to MTM XI!!!!

Yes, it is once again Match the Mayor time.  Four weeks where we join hands across the world and strive to lead a healthier life, to break some not-so-good habits and start or strengthen some better ones.

Thousands of teammates participate every year, and we welcome all of you who will be checking this out for the first time.  I will write a little blog or do a little video every other day and report on what I am doing and how I am doing.  I will read every comment that is sent to me, but it is unlikely that I will be able to answer each.   The answers I do write, however, will be for everyone to see.

Right now it is Sunday night.  I am on a 12 hour journey to Sao Paolo, Brazil.   I will be spending a week in Latin America, specifically to see our teams in Brazil and Colombia.  I will be in 4 cities over 5 days, on a plane every day I believe, and then fly home on Saturday.   These trips are always a bit of a challenge, so I am getting myself psyched up.

The focus this year is on steps and emotional wellbeing.  Good stuff to focus on.

On the steps front, I work out almost every day all year. Getting a workout in each day when I am traveling internationally is tough because I am so fully booked, but we will see how I do.

On the emotional wellbeing front I need to do my best to get my sleep and exercise, and get a little quiet time each day to reflect, and try to remember all that I should be grateful for each and every day.

I wish each of you well, and hope we can help each other do good things for ourselves, which will help us do good things for others.

Until Tuesday, this is KT from a plane … I am going back to work!

One for All & All for One …. Your Mayor, KT
