Love yourself

Love yourself

We are born loving ourselves. What happens over the course of years is startling and scary when we no longer do… You fat f#ck!” Make yourself look better.” I’m shocked by what I read in my husband’s calendar. He is six-pack lean and incredibly good looking and well-dressed. He also comes across the same — […]

Overturning a “f#ck it” ruling

Overturning a “f#ck it” ruling

A “f#ck it” ruling in any pursuit can turn into one of the most destructive forces in the playing field of your life. It creates the precedence for a pattern… a patterned way of (under) living. Sitting at my desk, I glanced at the contest entry form and then back to my phone. I had […]

Ode to Regression

Ode to Regression

On our morning commute, my daughter and I drive by a church. Or, I should say, the human construct I have been socially conditioned to call this image “church”. For my daughter, this image is “castle”. From watching Frozen countless times, Desiree has made that association and, with my encouragement, we proceed to discuss what […]

Ode to Demise

Ode to Demise

Without the element of demise, we never learn to live.” My dad would’ve been 84 today. The arrival of this day used to evoke considerable grief and unrest within me. I felt wronged and cheated out of a father, and resented the lack of closure…that opportunity to say goodbye. Somewhere over the years, I found my peace with […]

Happy Holidays from Star’s Locker

Happy Holidays from Star’s Locker

Holidays are approaching and, as we head toward the finish line of 2016, I stop and admire the kindred spirit we have cultivated in the studio this year. I see Star clients welcoming new clients with open arms (often literally…) and encouraging each other to their personal best…whether that’s a heavier weight in BodyPump or to venture into a […]

No pain, no gain?

No pain, no gain?

You won’t hear me utter or endorse the mantra, “no pain, no gain” in a fitness sense. This confuses intensity for pain and the false notion that suffering is inherent in fitness for it to be effective. When pain appears in your life, however, I say, bow to it. As an act of self-love, invite it to stay as long as it […]

The Perfect Jack-o’-lantern

The Perfect Jack-o’-lantern

The jack-o’-lantern originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could […]

The Universe orchestrates best

The Universe orchestrates best

There’s a feeling internally…a light bulb switch on…when the hopelessness of the situation dissolves and an answer appears…often through the words of another. A conduit of the Universe. October 2014. My therapist and I were brainstorming places I could go. We need to get you and Desiree out safely and healthily…her words kept ruminating through my […]

Lessons from the sea…seagull

Lessons from the sea…seagull

If Seagull has flown across your path… It’s time to take a different perspective on things. Take a moment and step back from everything that you are currently dealing with and look at it from a different angle. Your solution lies in changing your attitude towards the problem at hand. Soar above the drama and […]

Ode to wanting to live

Ode to wanting to live

The only thing that kept me from committing suicide was the thought of the pain I would put my family through. So, when I was eventually diagnosed with cancer in 2010, I had a different reaction than most…I was relieved. I felt like the Universe had given me an escape with this divine Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card.” […]

Ode to Father’s Day…Take Two

Ode to Father’s Day…Take Two

Father’s Day tends to be a tough day in my heart. But, today feels different…thanks to my daughter and the man she calls “Dada”. Call it a gift of motherhood. A reliving of sorts. I’m able to access softness in a place that was previously hard, light where there was darkness, love where there was pain, and […]

Day 16: It takes two

Yesterday morning, as my husband was getting ready for work, he looks at me and says, “Are you OK?” I shake my head no. I was understandably tired. Two hours of sleep is never enough…especially after a weekend of intense exercise. But, flight delays are part of air travel, and not much you can do […]
