Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is
too small for you. ~ David Whyte




It never hurts to think and feel big - be full of heart and life
and be open to what is out there for you.

"It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you got..." ~ Sheryl Crow, Soak Up the Sun

How many times have we said "if only I could lose this last 5 pounds of baby weight, had those shoes it would make my outfit, those window treatments would finish this room, that new car will make me happy and complete?" Too often we long for more, more, more and fail to see what we already have.

I like new clothes, shoes, jewelry like the rest, but at some point we should look around at how very fortunate we all are. Friends, health, family - those are the "things" that matter most. Time with the ones we love means more than the anything.

Want what you got and find the joy in being content.

EXERCISE!!

We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls. ~Robert J. McCracken

Enjoy your 4th of July! Class at 9am.

Be safe. Be brave. Be free. Be happy. Be grateful.

"Less emails - more eyeballs." ~ Laird Hamilton

It's easy to send and email or text, but it's getting more and more difficult to talk to someone face to face. This is not a good thing. Spend time looking into someones eyes and really hearing what they are saying. Emotions get lost or translated incorrectly with the massive exchange of messaging.

Have a safe and wonderful Holiday weekend!

Mark your calendars fro First Surf next weekend - free surfing clinic 9 to 3, all ages welcome.

"Yet it helps to think of the neck as something - a pedestal, say or a plinth - on which you'd set a work of art. A stand for the head and the face. The fact that it is not an incredibly attractive stand doesn't matter one bit. It's there to display your face, your eyes - which is where you carry who you are - your intelligence, goodness, humanity, excitement, serenity. Over time, these are the things that change the musculature of your face, as do laughter and animation, and especially whatever peace you can broker with the person inside." ~ Anne Lamott

Your neck shows your age first - apply moisturizer!

Happy Friday! Enjoy your Holiday weekend - class schedule remains the same.

National Lampoon's Vacation

Laughter is the perfect vacation. ~ Milton Berle

If this statement is true and I think it is, we don't have to go very far to have a vacation. Spend an afternoon with someone that makes you laugh, pick up the phone and giggle, rent the silliest comedy that gets you every time. You will be taken to that relaxing vacation spot instantly. How great is that? If a travel is not in your budget, surround yourself by things and people that bring a smile to your face and fill your life with laughter. Belly laugh as much as possible, as often as possible (hey, you can even consider it an ab workout)!
