Over the past week, I’ve experienced some life changing moments. Early New Year’s Day, on a cold morning as the sun was coming up over the Sandia Mountains, I took one step, heard a crack in my knee and couldn’t take another step. By 8:00 am, I was in the […]

Last night, I sat in church and listened to Alistair Begg talking about Mark 14:3-9. In verse 3 it says, “While He was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure […]
Just a little while ago, I had a revelation that I needed to be receptive to receiving and acting on. That epiphany was that it is stupid to be a Team Beachbody Coach and at almost 62 to still think in my head that I am a runner. […]

While I had some things to do in the kitchen this morning, I clicked on “Shuffle” on my iPhone and Business of the 21st Century with Robert T. Kiyosaki started playing. I’ve listened to it a couple of times before, and what sticks in my mind is that we are […]
Honestly, I am not looking forward to a year with “13” in it, but what if it could be our luckiest year ever? I have a to-do-list and the things on the list have to come first in my daily activities, but there are exceptions. I am a fan of […]

No, not the 2001 movie, not the 2009 movie and not the Operation Fast and Furious. I am a Team Beachbody coach and I don’t mix politics with anything and especially my blog. What is fast and furious is the pace at Beachbody Headquarters in Santa Monica and here is […]
Isn’t it great having a partner to work out with? You seem to push a little harder, sweat a little more, and somehow find that extra gear to kick it up a notch. You motivate and inspire each other, keep each other accountable, and it can even produce a little […]
If I had known that I was going to fail so many times in my life, I would have kept track. Maybe I could be setting some record. The P90X test version was first marketed in 2005 and bombed. Even people at Beachbody said that the project should be abandoned. […]
