Present Day...brrr!

Cold weather training. Nothing like a 30 degree morning and stepping off for a two hour brick at 8am. Brrr! These are those days in the training process that the mental game of this sport can challenge you. So having the right gear is a must!

 Get out of bed, have a good quick breakfast, pump up the tires, load your gear into the car, and while the rest of life is cozy in bed, your off to train. Get to the assigned location, probably somewhere where there are lots of hills, and be ready for Coach's instructions, because he won't wait!

When we modify or adapt to serve a new or different purpose, we transform. When we go beyond, rise above, overshadow or eclipse, we transcend what we were and become something new.

Uncertainty

When I choose to consciously sit in the uncertainty of the unknown I am brought into present time and into my physical body.

To move forward, I let go and let the unknown be my driver. I think about all the ways I try and control and predict my life. Making myself angry that it sometimes isn't going the way I like or a way that has me feeling so uncomfortable. Carrying this inner rebellion is like driving a car with the emergency brake on. The limitation of the ego mind holds us hostage to what the unknown would like to offer. An offering our thoughts have ...

The Art of Living...Be the Artist of Your Life Your Love and Your Beauty.

As I strive to bring balance into my life I reflect on the choices that I have made which create the art of my life. Balance is a natural state of being. It is inside all of us but gets lost in the chaos of our lives by the choices we make in reaction to how we feel. Living a life of balance does not mean that everything is perfect or stable. It doesn’t mean that we don’t have struggle or feel pain. What it does embody is living with life’s natural rhythm and cycles in synchronicity to our own internal rhythms. Balance is a state of being where the various aspects of life and ourselves are working as an integrated whole. To begin to reclaim our natural state of balance, practicing the art of being in present time connects us to our body’s own rhythmic patterns. In doing so we are able to hear and feel our body’s subtle movements of synchronized directives that assist in guiding us toward choices, which resonate with life’s ebb and flow. How we choose to interact with ...
