Patience . . .

A friend shared this photo of a water lily with me recently and that they are a symbol of patience. Life is always in transition, it is always shaky, always uncertain. To quote from Pema Chodron - "to stay with that shakiness - to stay with a broken heart, with a rumbling stomach, with the feeling of hopelesness and wanting to get revenge - that is the path of true awakening. Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic . . . this is the path of the warrior." May you all be peaceful and patient warriors and ask yourself "when things get edgy, am I going to practice peace, or am I going to war?" May you choose peace and patience, my friends.

How can I sculpt my butt in time for bikini season?

One-to-One is more about function, form, and feel-good than bikini season, but any way you look at it, these are great exercises that our clients perform all year-round to strengthen and shape the buttocks.

Who Are You . . . Really?
A question that I pose to new Wellness Coaching clients is "what would you like your coach to know about you"? This question is answered often relative to the life challenges that the client is presently facing. Other answers to the question "who are you" might be framed in other ways as well. If I were answering this question, I might explain that I am a mother to an adult daughter, that I am a sister to siblings and a daughter to two parents and I enjoy all these relationships. I am a "dancer" and someone who loves the outdoors. I am also someone who embraces each new dawn regardless of what the day may hold. As we answer the question of who we are, do not neglect to leave out those amazing aspects of ourselves that lift us up and truly contribute to the whole of ourselves. Namaste.
