This quote speaks to me today.

"Intelligence is traditionally viewed as the ability to think and learn. Yet in a turbulent world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn." - Adam Grant

I took this photo recently out at South Bear ball diamonds. It was so beautiful, there was no wind, I stopped and took some deep breaths until I felt the peace and calm.❄

Deep breathing is one of the body's strongest self healing tools.

I needed some Brene Brown teachings this morning. Love this❤

Walked the Wedgewood trail with my girl today, met up with a stranger on a fat bike, it happened to be one of the folks who helped with building the bridges on the trail. What a great feeling to thank someone who is responsible for such a peaceful outing. Grateful🙏

Anyone on this page interested in training for a 1/2 marathon starting May-June? pm me.

Weekend in Jasper with my mountain friends. There are so many trails to explore, So little time. We checked out Old Fort Road, Pyramid Lake and Maligne Canyon.

Tansi Kiyawaw, hello to you all! For those who are looking for a physical challenge for 2022 check this out. I'm currently working on the 2021 medal for myself and working on the Appalachian Trail with my work crew.

The virtual challenges started out as a way to stay connected and stay physically active with my work peeps while we worked from home. We are all back in the office now so as motivation to keep going I hung this in my office. We have completed the Ring Road Iceland, Pacific Crest Trail, and the Grand Canyon as a team and I completed the St Francis Way challenge on my own. The app is super to use and the support team gets back to you promptly. The medals are amazing!

The picture on the right are all the virtual challenges I completed in 2021. There is just one that we did in person - "Every Child Matters"

Check it out, it may be just what you're looking for in 2022.

Wow! This is so awesome! I remember a time when I was injured and couldn't run, I had no idea of what other options were out there to support my mental and physical health. Since then I've learned that any movement is beneficial. For those of you who are unsure of what exercises are safe for you, check out this resource.

Ocean and I checked out Wedgewood trail yesterday. It was such a peaceful walk in the woods🐕❄

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Class Schedule Update:
We scaled down to one class at a time for 2022, and will add more when they are 90% full. Sorry if you need to change times but its entirely possible we reopen more classes at a time before the new year, anyway. For now, if you are currently in a class - please have a look at this and see if your class time is still there. If it is, you don't need to do anything. If your class isn't here, please let us know a new time that works for you so we can reserve your spot!
I have gotten nothing but positive feedback and support on our business plan and with all of your help 2022 will be a year of healing and reaching new heights as a community and business.
Thank you guys! Can't do this alone, and honestly wouldn't do it if it wasn't what everyone wanted.
Please book your spots! We've never needed it more! ❤

Thank you for your service❤

Have a great one😀

Tis the season. Here is a great pumpkin soup recipe I just tried. It's so delcious. I used the flesh of a roasted regular pumpkin in place of the small sugar pumpkin. I added two cups of butternut squash for added nutrients.

Enjoy!
