What are you reading now?

Awe, by Dacher Keltner

Who do you train with? My children in stroller, sometimes a friend

Personal goals

See my children love the outdoors

A quotation you like….

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells

Pumping in my living room

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I'll rise.

-       Maya Angelou
