It is pretty amazing. The damage we can do to ourselves without even being present in the process. I work extremely hard at helping other people work hard on themselves. I pride myself on the consistent, hard work I do to my own body. I admonish others to work to their own limits and set a mean example of exactly that in my own work.

Whether it be strength training in the gym, Pilates in the studio, or my feeble attempts at following my yoga instructor, I try to work with high quality, excellent form and love pushing myself to that end to achieve the best results for the time spent at work. Read the rest of this entry →

Did you know this little fact?  Yes there were 85,000 in attendance to see and hear Obama’s historic acceptance speech.  Turns out there were 38.3 million worldwide viewers.  Read the rest of this entry →

Michelle Obama brings her message clearly, succinctly and tastefully to the DNC. Barack said in an email to all supporters,

“I am so lucky to be married to the woman who delivered that speech last night. Michelle was electrifying, inspiring, and absolutely magnificent. I get a lot of credit for the speech I gave at the 2004 convention — but I think she may have me beat.”
