This guy is amazing. A few days ago I was with him in the woods behind his house watching him up in the trees where he likes to hang out ( pun intended). What’s cool about this is that he’s 70 and this is a new interest he’s taken up in the last few years.Continue reading “Three Keys To Growing Across A Lifetime”

Calling Up Our Gifts
This week my five year old friend shared with me that she was sad because she didn’t know if she would remember how to make friends when she starts back to Kindergarten in a few weeks or when she finally gets a chance to take dance classes. No amount of reassurance was going to flipContinue reading “Calling Up Our Gifts”
Keep At It
It’s really that simple … and somedays that hard. Every summer the college soccer players come home to start their training. Every summer they come back a little de-conditioned after finals and a little time off and so the first few sessions are hard. But, slowly we increase the volume or the intensity and everyContinue reading “Keep At It”
Becoming Flexible
Flexibility isn’t about being able to bend over and put your palms on the floor or do the splits. Flexibility is just what it says; your ability to flex, to adapt, change, respond to changes in your environment. Mobility, stability, strength, coordination, strength and stiffness all go into making us flexible and they can allContinue reading “Becoming Flexible”
Lighting Your Fire
Who inspired you this week? What did they do? What challenge did they rise to? What qualities did they draw on to do it? What lesson did you take from their choices and actions?

Approach
“At the heart of things is a secret law of balance and when our approach is respectful, sensitive and worthy, gifts of healing, challenge and creativity open to us. A gracious approach is the key that unlocks the treasure of the encounter … When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us.” ~Continue reading “Approach”
Glad I Did It
“Be deliberate, act with intention.” ~ Twyla Tharp I learned, the other day, that “glad I did it”, and “glad it’s done” aren’t the same thing. I began a session with a client like always, checking in. Part way through he said that some days it’s harder than others to get started, his mind startsContinue reading “Glad I Did It”
Engage
“To engage, with honor, the full possibility of your life is to engage in a worthy way the possibility of your new day.” ~ John O’Donohue The future is unfolding right now. As unclear and uncertain as it may feel, it’s already being shaped by the choices I make today. I can put my fitnessContinue reading “Engage”
