I truly love a balance pose. Not because I love balancing or because I’m good at it (balance poses are anything but effortless for me), but because after falling out of a balance pose it’s always so clear that if you keep straining, it will never happen. Balance poses are really for improving your mental [...]
Reaching for the Stars

Many people know me as a girl that’s full of smiles, laughter, and joy. Believe me, I’ve definitely had my walk through life!! Although I had my son at the age of 18, I didn’t let this stop me from reaching my life goals. Instead, this helped push me even more. I refused to be [...]
Passion
March 25, 2011 By 5 Comments
I facilitate webinars twice a month and I always give folks a few topics to choose from in advance. Last week they chose, or rather begged for…the topic of PASSION. Why is that? Presumably because we all crave more passion in our lives. The times we’ve felt passionate are the times we’ve felt most alive. [...]
On Top of the World

I froze outside room 202 peering in, checking my schedule, checking the room number. Something wasn’t right.

So they sigh and with reluctance show up in my studio. But eventually, [...]

If you aren’t familiar with Iron Girl®, imagine this: thirteen events, nationwide, ranging from a 5K run walk all the way to a full grueling triathlon. And they’re all just for women. The Iron Girl mission to empower women toward a healthy lifestyle inspires us and resonates with our values. It’s a whole new angle [...]
Then and Now: Kona Ironman
March 9, 2011 By 6 Comments
Watching sports has always been a passion of mine. I was not an athlete but I was very intrigued by the work ethics of top athletes. On Saturdays I always enjoyed watching the TV program Wide World of Sports. I vividly remember watching Julie Moss crawl across the finish line at the Kona Ironman in [...]
Water Running: Not Just for the Injured
March 7, 2011 By 15 Comments
Some consider it a dirty word. For many, it belongs on the obligatory to-do list, right up there with flossing teeth and cleaning out the gutters. Cross-training. Why has cross-training gotten such a bad rap? Let’s face it — most of us are creatures of habit. We like the familiar — that which we are [...]
