Injury Prevention

Follow me on IG

I could talk all day long about how I believe cross training makes you a better overall athlete.

But probably more importantly is the development and strength gained across the entire body to aid in prevention of a possible future injury.
It reduces the overuse of muscle groups.

Today, Ivy tried ice skating for the first time. We (me) are hoping that this helps her during the upcoming season as well.

And now that I’ve been in the teaching arena of youth sports for over 25 years, then ice skating sounds a lot like riding bike. Brian was an incredible instructor, and the cues he was using sounds a lot like the cues for learning how to ride 🚲.

Facebook I really need help! Immediately. I’m a woman owned business. It’s been one week since my Business IG account was hacked. And it’s linked to my Business page as well. I have access to my Facebook account. Not my IG. Someone please help. I don’t want my clients hacked and I keep waiting for a response from you. Clients are receiving fraudulent messages.

Please let me know if you see anything suspicious. My IG Business Accout was hacked. Thank you.

She’s exceeded the dream.

5 years and 5 months.
She’s kind and nurturing.
She’s fierce and persistent.
She’s great at leading and delegating, but equally ready to help.
She loves makeup, bikes, swimming, skiing, music, dolls, and painting.

And she recently asked me when does she get to drive a car. I’m afraid to blink at this point. 🚘

except when she’s tired. Ok, I still love her then too.

We are afraid.

And it’s difficult to lead an authentic life when you hear and allow all the chirping to come into your thoughts.

Scientifically, fear is meant to keep us safe.

Then there is . It looks very similar to good fear, but it keeps you on the treadmill of mediocrity.

We create fear to keep ourselves from changing. (Read it again)

But in my process of learning to let go (faster), is also recognizing that everything does indeed change. It’s like fighting an uphill battle.

When I can label my fear, and bring more awareness to it, then I can focus on the energy to do something about it.

Side Note: Daylight Savings is coming. Begin to make your workout and nutritional changes now. Don’t wait and make all your changes at once. This is me 5:45AM this morning.

Be AF in work, life, love, and friendship.
if you don’t. 😉

Carpe Diem!

Grounding.

Join me just about every Thursday if you want.

Many of my clients have seen me only wearing flip flops,for shoes, to do my work in? Only to watch me take them off and go barefoot and play.

Grounding Techniques:
Walking barefoot
Lying on the ground
Submersion in Water

I crave that which I’ve always done. I rarely wore shoes growing up. (My poor mother). She had to compromise as I said would wear them, but with no shoelaces.

Lying on the ground.
I would take my pillow and blanket and walk right out our front door and just lie in the grass until I would fall asleep.

And the water…. Fortunate enough to grow up with a pool.
Holding my breath for a very very long time was my specialty.

Somethings are constant throughout your life. This is one of them that I’m glad that has persisted.

Check it out. Do some research of your own.

This shouldn’t be a Sufferfest.

STOP 🛑 putting yourself last and please stop spreading media that implies that our needs, as parents, come last.
Kiss this goodbye 😘

Basic Flight ✈️ Attendant 101 says put your oxygen mask on first, then your child’s.

You want to be a good model for mental and physical health? Then let them see you taking care of yourself, first. That you are a priority. What a great way for them to see how self-worth evolves.

Swipe ⬅️ to read what I came across today.

Give yourself permission to want more than to be last. You deserve more. You deserve better. Your mind, body, and family will thank you.

Undoing & Unloving

Ego Love vs Authentic Love

In light of
We spend a hell of an amount of time on teaching our children the negative ramifications of smoking, underage drinking, texting while driving, but we aren’t doing a good enough job of teaching them about what loving relationships look like.

And I believe these conversation begin very early.

Ego Love.
I believe we have all participated in this love at one time or another. It’s hard not to have done so. You are with them because they make you feel good. But this love can often become possessive and controlling. And them knowing there is no place for manipulation and/or possession needs to be said out loud.

Authentic Love means that each of you have space to show your true colors. Authentic love is freedom. And where there is authenticity then both partners can grow.

I don’t believe us modeling our healthy relationship is enough. Friendships and Relationships are complex in nature.

They need to hear your stories and/or experiences with friendships and past relationships.

Start talking.

The least spiciest 🌶 of us all, Graham.

But he has always taught us all about being brave and fearless.

Since I can remember he’s been so brave, told older kids not to pick on his older brother, and would lay down his life for Ivy.

Today was his special day. And if you want to test how brave you are, then go do the ropes and zip line course.

He sprinted through with no hesitation. (He is the one that has had stitches twice and 2 broken arms).

😬 I had to keep reminding myself that I’ve jumped out of a✈️ and that Bungee Jumping off a bridge in on my bucket list.

Fun fact: His hair feels like silk. I tell him it feels like butter 🧈. And I couldn’t stop petting him as an infant 😂.

I remind them that my love is relentless.

I’ve always told them that they were born from my ❤️ first. I just had to wait patiently for them to arrive.

I dreamt about her since I was her age. I was to have a girl with brown hair and colored eyes. And here she is, my Ivy, brown hair and green eyes.

They love me. And I love them.
They drive me crazy. As I do to them.

We love and play hard in our house. But, I no longer want to wrestle 100lb + boys. Yet they want me to, which means I have to.

Because when will be the last time they ask me? Just like when was the last stroller ride? When was the last time I tied their shoes.

Children.
They were my dream.
Now the letting go part.
So they can pursue their own dreams.

I told you I like costumes, right?

You can easily shift your mood, state of mind, just by altering a few physical changes.

Think about what it means, to you, to throw on those comfy sweats when you get home.

Sometimes this universe is perverse.

Explain this to kids? First, try and explain this day to adults.

When your brain cannot wrap it’s self around what happened. There is no rational way or enough feelings to express the trauma force felt on this day.

I really have not explored this national tragedy in depth with my children, ages 5, 9, & 13.

Very bad things happen to good people all the time. I remember hearing this as a child. And it was way too abstract. Now, there’s a dissociation at this point in my life when I hear this message. Because if I were to sit in this thought, then I would become a ball of raging madness and sadness.

Forgetting, Never.

Reinhold Niebuhr, one of the most prominent Protestant theologians Serenity Prayer poem.
“God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.”

You’re supposed to call, text, and reach out to your best friends today.

So do it. They will love it.

How’s life?
How are the kids?
Anything new with work?
How’s your golf game?
Any juicy dating gossip?
Want to grab a drink?

It makes them feel warm and fuzzy. You can do that for people.

Have a wonderful day. ☀️✌🏻❤️

I came to live.

Life is supposed to feel good, no actually I believe it’s supposed to feel great. And it has shown me that It only gets better if you make it better. Every day I try to create the experience that I to have.

Happiness has to be the ultimate goal, and not success. And this responsibility, to your happiness, should not be left up to anyone else. Can I get an !

Which one should I choose?

Who likes to ?

to the life you want.

He asked where to… and I said you tell me.

He laughed. I laughed. It took him about an hour, but then he realized I wasn’t kidding.

10 hours went fast. Beautiful people 🇫🇷, delicious food, tomatoes, pasta, wine 🍷 , Grappa, more wine, new dessert recipe that I can’t wait to share, lemoncello, beaches, vodka 🍋, boats, and dangerous curves. ⚠️

Lots of side conversations of life, work, and business and future business.

He’s a dreamer. The perfect tour guide.

And… Lots of messages from you all about the steps leading to the church, ⛪️ The Amalfi Cathedral. It was built in the 9th & 10th century


Amalfi Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo, Amalfi, Italy. It is dedicated to the Apostle Saint Andrew whose relics are kept here. Saint Andrew was an apostle of Jesus. He is referred to in the Orthodox tradition as the First-Called.

I can’t tell if Vincenzo is laughing with me or at me 😆

But he’s already letting me swim past pool hours and booked me a restaurant. 🍷 🇮🇹

I can’t wait for tomorrow’s feature. This next (tour) guy was recommended by a client. And wow there are some stories.🎉

I’m also here on business research! Something in the works for next year, 2022… stay tuned 😉.

Guess what movie I’m reminded of when coming back home?

I love pausing for a moment and playing the game “What Might Have Been”. 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭?

I could have been married to a doctor. I could have easily returned to my home state or just stayed in Kansas. 🌻

Wasn’t I supposed to go directly into a Ph.D Psychology program?

Instead, at 21, I said no to almost anything I was comfortable doing.

I took off to play a season of pro softball 🥎 in Georgia. I had to choose between an Assistant D1 coaching job at or a brand new softball program at . I ultimately chose UVA because they had one of the best and most respected professors in the country.

I can’t tell you what happened in the last 10 years because it’s been a bluurrrrrr 🤪

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫: 𝐒𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐬

I feel like I’m here again… and I giggle now. 🤭 Because I’ve realized The only thing true is exactly this song “𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲’𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 (𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧)” by Baz Luhrmann

Your choices are half chance and so are everybody else’s.

What would you have done?

Yes, I had the best excuse to crawl back into bed today ☕️.

At 6AM I Cleaned up the kitchen not 1x or 2x, but it took 3x only to realize the problem wasn’t the coffee maker… 🙄

It was the coffee pot with a giant cracked 🕳 in the bottom!! 😂

I persisted. That’s the sign I took from it. Not to keep making more coffee- LOL 😆

I’ve been telling myself for weeks to start these workouts in the morning. 🚲 🏋️‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️My children start back to school soon and I know the routine is going to get 🍌 🤪

Can’t believe summer is almost a wrap!

I remember telling my father that “I don’t think like that”.

After most divorces and/or losses, or any significant life change, there are so many uncertainties, and it’s hard to picture the new future, the new you. 👸

He was parenting me, which was wonderful, but I had to stop him. There was so much fear in his voice.😬

I’ve always operated from a point of what do I want, and how do I go about doing it or getting it. 🔥

I feel so lucky 🍀 having this outlook. But I know it’s something I developed over the years. And the irony of my fathers conversation is that I watched him pursue goals and succeed.

If you’re struggling with that vision of what your next life looks like, then keep putting one foot forward. It’s taken about 4 years, but I can finally begin to see what the next 5-10 years will look like.

(And I chuckled, 😆 because we all know the universe is constantly throwing curve balls and change ups ⚾️).

All good things happen in the present moment.

Be sure to soak up all of August, like a sponge. Don’t leave anything left on the table.

School supplies will always be there, the beds can be made another day, and that sand all over the floor can be swept up. 🏖

Ask me what it feels like?

Like I amputated a piece of my heart ♥️.

This door never really closes. Softball 🥎 has and will always be a part of my life.

But for now, my coaching role has come to an end. CT Legends organization will undergo a revamping and shuffling.

And when that decision to come back arrives then it will be bolder and stronger. 💪🏻

For Now:
🥎 Lessons - Yes ✔️
🥎 Consulting- Yes ✔️
🥎 Recruiting - Yes ✔️

Congratulations to ,from Staples High School, on her verbal commitment to Babson College . She averaged 14K’s/game. And it will be fun to watch her succeed at the next level.


… and within the next 2 months I’ll keep you posted on our other verbal commits 😉. All these girls did what they needed to do to put themselves in position to be offered a roster spot.

Good Luck! 🍀

What’s the better story here?

Save the Bees 🐝
Poor Kitten 🐱
How to avoid being burned 🔥

🐝 Graham’s that kid. He spent 30 minutes trying to save a bee. Saved it, protected it so it’s wings would dry, but then it ultimately passed. And he felt defeated and sad.

😻Or, When they ask how much I love them, and my response is I’ve loved them for 35 years, because they began in my heart ♥️. Yes, I’m that girl that had 10 baby dolls and also tried to dress up the kittens in baby clothes.

🔥 Or… 30 minutes after these wonderful moments, then Ivy was having a meltdown in which we all have to enter the gates of 🔥. seems to be her mentality.
