    My immediate reaction was grumping around the house and deciding in my head that I couldn't go to the gym now -...

  • CHANGE SOMETHING!!!

    Thursday, June 5, 2008 | An Inspiring story

     CHANGE SOMETHING!
    Said very loud and very inspiringly by my Gym instructor!!- It makes perfect sense. If you keep doing the same thing and expect results you won't see any unless you constantly change something. With Cycle it's the speed of the ride or the gears. You have to change something to expect the ride to get harder and see results in your fitness, strength and body. I find I...

  • Born to Shine

    Tuesday, November 4, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Who am I not to Shine...
    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually , who am I not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about sh...
