On Wednesday, Chris and I got a chance to drop off two checks to Open Door Outreach Center totally $2,000!!! One check was thanks to all of you who chose to donate by playing our Make a Difference March Challenge and the second one was one of our clients who chose to match the BL donation to help BL make even a bigger difference in our community. THANK YOU KEITH!!!  The management at Open Door was BEYOND GRATEFUL and APPRECIATIVE!! They took some time from their day to explain to us the myriad of ways Open Door serves the community. They shared that their tag line is “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” which couldn’t be more fitting being that they are right in our back yard!! We got a tour of the donation areas, the sorting areas, the coolers, the offices and the Thrift Shop. It was fascinating and a definite feel good to know we all came together to support their wonderful mission.  

Way to go Team BL!!

So while you were making a difference in the community, it is very apparent by the nearly full Challenge board, that you were also Making a Difference in YOU!! Many of you have already completed the challenge and several of us are getting close!! Reminder that you have until March 31st to get your 20 classes in. Then on Saturday, April 2nd, Chris, Jamie and I will be drawing from the list of those who completed the challenge and giving away a variety of prizes which have been generously donated by Lululemon!!  You need not be present to win but, of course, it will be more fun if you’re there to receive your prize. Drawing will be between 10:30-10:45 am!!

What a successful challenge it has been…now the key is to just continue SHOWING UP!!  Don’t let the end of the challenge slow you down…Make it your intention to workout or practice yoga 4-5 times/week and Mix It Up!! Your brain and your body will thank you!!

Hey guys…just checking in to see how everyone is going as we are almost half way through March. It’s so good to see so many bodies participating in the Make a Difference March challenge!! I love that so many of you are trying out different classes and teachers in order to get your 20 classes in. It’s been so great hearing about how you tried a class for the first time and it’s your new favorite or that you found a teacher that you hadn’t met before. One of the best things is that many of you have expressed finding new muscles and sore spots you didn’t even know you had as you shake up your routine!! Just a reminder that the more we mix it up, the more our muscles are “confused” and the better results we see. Instead of getting stuck in a plateau with no results, we start to see progress. So last month my message was: “show up” and this month I add to it: “shake it up.”Read More
