It's Been A LONG Time!


I know it has been quite awhile since my last post. I have been volunteering a lot with my church(which I love) as well as taking a philosophy course and a mediumship lab. I have also been reconnecting with some old friends. Despite being sick for a few weeks, it has actually been a pretty wonderful couple of months. I have been continuing to run the movie nights at my church & have also recently started a Reiki Clinic in Swampscott MA:

In any case I have to admit that my workouts and nutrition have somewhat fallen by the wayside, I mean almost completely and although my life is happier than ever the lack of physical activity etc is really getting to me. I know if I can just get back into a routine that I will feel so much better and have the energy to do even more. I gained a good amount of energy & motivation this week having caught up on some of my favorite podcasts found at:

I decided to take a step to add some incentive to get myself moving again. I had cancelled my Iceland triathlon because I have had to postpone my trip until next winter. I registered today for my first official triathlon of the year. It is a super short sprint, but a great starter in a beautiful location. I am really excited about training again & I am currently choosing the rest of my races for the 2007 season. I hope to post them soon.

I wish you all the best as we wind down the winter season and get ready to spend more time outside. I feel it will be a spring for the record books. We don't usually get much of a spring in Boston. It seems to go from 20degrees to 90, but I think this year will be different. I expect a beautiful spring.

I will write back soon.
