Holy smoke! My good friend Kristen Lena and I started this fitness company for women called Urban Recess 20 YEARS AGO! We started it in San Francisco and I brought it up to Portland (solo, still friends) and it’s still chugging along. We have seen a ton of beautiful faces over the years and we have a strong crew of veterans complete with sassy nicknames (Hobo, Fudge, Tuna, Red, Spoiler, Eagle, Penguin, Sheeba, Gilly, Leroy, Marypat, Koto, ....you know who you are). Here’s to 20 more!

For all our lady friends, gal pals, and she cliques out there I have an unpaid plug for a great chick podcast. If you’re like me and you’re sick of the political cesspool and average media circus, here is an outlet for fun talk, science and psychology based info mixed with social issues gab. It’s thought provoking and Sarah and Susie are hilarious. Give it a try!

Serena is everything. She is definitely that one athlete that I would be terrified to go up against. So fierce. So beautiful. So strong. A mom. A public image. She is to be respected. I like her.

I was hoping to run into Suzanne Somers this weekend in Palm Springs so I could show her our move named after her (being the fitness guru that she is). But alas, no sighting. I did come across this post she did on our guy Burt Reynolds. Sob! 😭

Oh sweet Laverne. My good friend Sarah let me know of her passing today. We came home from school everyday to watch Laverne and Shirley when we were little kids. We have many many inside jokes about that show. A great comic’s candle is no longer burning in the world but we will always remember her. Rest in peace Penny (Laverne).
