IT'S A NEW WEEK...

It's a new week which means a fresh start.  Weekends can be great but they can also be lousy- people can be great and they can also be all talk- whatever the case- one of the above or all of the above- do something for your BODY today to get the empowering feeling to own the week.  Once the week is owned- than than plan for an AWESOME weekend.

DO SOMETHING FANTASTIC TODAY!

Most of you know I live in Calabasas- it's a wealthy community where sometimes people show and show too much.  If you are visiting LA and want to see celebrities and head to Beverly Hills you are wasting your time.  My starbucks is celebrity haven- Trainer Bob- Dwight from the Office- Nicki Stixx (sp?) tons of retired pro ballers- etc- you get the idea.  Calabasas / Agoura - the neighboring city have a small town feel for LA.  I still feel safe enough to leave my car unlocked- leave my phone on the table and go outside- everyone seems to know everyone well enough to say "hi- how was your weekend" and so on.  I use my starbucks as my 'base' for when I run- I have several routes that I run and along these runs I see Mark at every turn- and always at my bux.  Mark is a homeless guy.  Very polite, very quiet and I can't help but wonder what happened to him.  Before I started to write this post I was on my computer and Mark was sitting quietly minding his own business- not begging- nothing.  Instead of asking him what happened I asked him if he would like anything to eat and drink.  Mark walked with me to the counter and ordered a coffee drink and a pastry- of course I also told him to get a fruit cup.  My friend next to me said "you made his day."  I replied "no- the act made my day."


DO SOMETHING FANTASTIC TODAY- NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS.

I'M BAAACCCKKKK!!!


Oh my- where to start- it's been nearly two months to the day since my last blog.  Why?  I suppose because sometimes one can only write so much?  Perhaps not.  I suppose because sometimes one can only 'give' so much?  Maybe closer.  I suppose because...


Everyone has their struggles- their challenges- their WTF's.  Including myself believe it or not I am human!


Close to everyday guests both current and past tell me that I've literally have saved their lives.  That I have a gift of reaching out and connecting- that they were giving themselves one last shot and if BLR didn't work for them IT was over- but than they met me and contribute their 'new life' to me.  It blows me away that I'm seen this way- it's actually pretty amazing however, I just do what I do because I love doing it.  


So now back to everything else.  All is status quo- I have my health, friends and most importantly a job that I love!  I just ran another half marathon yesterday and along the route I saw a repeat guest in the opposite direction participating in the 5K- what's amazing about this is that this guest has trouble with their heart and running for more that a few minutes. Turns out the guest completed the run and posted on my FB wall something to the effect they could not have done it without me believing in them and my coaching- now that's a great feeling.


Until next time everyone- keep busting that lung and knocking the blankety blank blank out of EVERTHING!
