Oh What a Night....Transformation Radio!

So great to be with so many Transforamation Friends last night as we listened to Bill, Stoney, Shane, Clarissa and Marty on Transformation Radio.  I loved hearing the  words from Shane about his inspiring transformation--a wonderful man with a wonderful story. And Marty--So humbling to hear your story again and to be reminded that whatever we have as "adversity" there is a very good chance that it is a pebble compared to your ...

The old "High Point" is just that, the "Old" high point.

As good as it was is not as good as it gets.  Thank God for that. Anyone who has ever kept a BFL success journal or training log knows this.  Today's level 10 effort will be your future level 7,6 or 5 effort.  That is the beauty of weight training properly, you DO get stronger.  BUT what about the mind?  What is the mental equivalent of this example?  My answer is VISION. I did not arrive at this epiphany on my own.&...

Hope and Possibility

No matter who you are-- or your political affiliation, there is the feeling that today is a “new day” in America.  A shift has taken place and it will be a far reaching one--across the globe. This is more than the historical magnitude of this election in selecting Mr. Obama to run our nation, but the hope for healing sought by all of us.  Either outcome McCain or Obama would find us this morning looking toward the future wit...

Engage like a KID!

One of our three kids, our youngest-- is an phenomenal athlete.... She is pictured here as she makes a beautiful save  as a goalie.  Can you feel her energy in this photo?At almost 12 years old she plays soccer, flag football and basketball and is limited only by the number of sports we will let her play in a season---max 2.  She will practice with her teams and on her own and we will often find balls in every room of the house and...

College Drinking Game

I am not the fig picker nor the fig pickers son, but I 'll pick the figs, till the fig picker comes. My neighbor brought me FRESH, sweet, amazing figs from her fig tree as she does regularly this time of  year. I can always count on it---several times during the fig season.  It is not just that I'm Greek that makes me a "tseek-yes lover" (Greek word for fig) They are just so good!It reminded me of a drinking game I played...

Exercise in a PILL? No Joking!

Scientists have reported that they have a pill that FOR MICE mimics exercise without working up a sweat.  This is great for mice I suppose....Here is the skinny..... sedentary mice that took the drug for four weeks burned more calories and had less fat than untreated mice.  Additionally they did a treadmill test and the treated mice rocked the test.  They could run 44 percent farther and 23% longer than the mice that were not given...

The Strangest Secret!

Today I'd like to share an excerpt from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale. You can purchase the CD and new book through Mac Anderson's website at Simple Truths.com.  George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they m...

STREAKING for the SOUL....

People ask me what Streaking for the Soul is about... Well, just as the name implies a free, fearless and fun activity, Soul Streaking is a high vibration way of being! My philosophy is wrapped around the fact that I believe that sustained physical fitness and transformation is possible only after you tend to your spiritual fitness.Cultures, religion and societies have a lot of influence over us. Each can manipulate who we believe we are i...

TURN OFF, turn ON!

I was at Gold's this AM doing a fine blowout of a cardio session. I didn't look pretty. Nope, not pretty at all...bandana tied over my head like a biker chick to keep the sweat out of my eyes and red faced....Yup, I earned my shower. While on my machine, I realized I was drinking up the 24 hours news channel pumping out the negative stories... TOPIC: crimes caught on tape...people being beaten, robbed, carjacked....one story after the next. I ...

FAT is like money. Be a dime!!!

When I was small, my brother would kindly "let me" trade my "small" dimes for his "bigger" pennies.... What an angel! I was thininking about how we get so caught up on on our weight--the actual number--and although we KNOW something is happening under our skin when the scale stalls, some sort of fat muscle conversion thing, we still want the dog-gone number to go down on the scale. And when it doesn't, we imagine th...
