Quote of the day


Fitness is truly a dedication to your own heart and its desire for expansion, growth, challenge, boldness, and full expression. 

Its insatiable beating keeps driving us forward, guiding us as we surrender to its unfolding and desire to live in the ever changing present. Fitness activates our mind and body connection and pulls us out of our heads and back into the present moment to feel, to breathe, to focus, to let go, to push the mind past its limits, to trust the heart. The present is life, it is action, it is lived in the wildness of the heart and its expansion. 

This quote by Gene Tunney resonates so strongly with me. Its so good, I had to remake it twice. :) Below is Gene Tunney, an undefeated Heavyweight Champion and pioneer of boxing strategy. Read more here: Gene Tunney

Strawberry Fields Forever

Have you ever picked your own strawberries? As a kid growing up in Germany, we would take school trips to the strawberry fields and pick baskets of strawberries. There were rows and rows of big, red juicy strawberries ripe for the picking and eating. :) We'd fill up our little baskets till our fingers were stained pink. By the time we reached the end of the row, we'd have eaten almost as many berries as we picked and have to start again. Its been years since then and thankfully, my baby found a farm near the house where we could pick our own berries. How fun! I felt like a kid again, hunting for the juiciest berries and leaving the little ones to grow. Together we harvested a hardy basketful for dessert--perfect for a frozen yogurt topping. Do Tell...... Where do you pick your strawberries? What's your favorite way to eat strawberries?
