Summer break!

Hi friends~

Our family reunion in upstate New York this past weekend was at my sister and brother-in-law’s house this year, instead of here in Asbury Park, and it was an awesome time. Not just because we weren’t hosting 😉

The Hudson Valley is so beautiful, the cool laid back vibe, woods, farms is a great tradeoff for the ocean. And they’re awesome hosts. About a dozen members of the family couldn’t make it, including a few of my kids and their spouses and kids, and I understand, but we surely missed them.

I’ll be taking a break from writing this week and next week, while we’re hosting 2 tiny grandkids at our house in NJ. I raised 6 kids but honestly I don’t know how I did it and survived – and so did they!

My son, his wife and baby are also visiting, and then we’re heading back up north to the Adirondacks next weekend to visit more kids.

Here’s a sampling of some of the fun this weekend!

Love, and onward~

Where I stand in unstable times.

Hi Friends~ Strength and fitness training, nutrition, health, and wellness coaching has felt frivolous lately. This work fulfills my deep desire to be a helper,

When you don’t feel it…

Hello friends~ I’m just going to lay it out right here. The days you don’t feel like showing up are the days your program matters

Lindsey proved it!

YAY Lindsey! Women have to maintain a higher bar. Period. At work, relationships (personal, family, parenting), and in athleticism – especially at the professional level.
