Way of Life

Every morning around 6-6:30am, I take Jedi on a morning hike, swim and stroll.  This morning, we met a guy from Pennsylvania who is in Breckenridge on business.  The guy was so happy to be out in the morning hiking.  He said he didn't pack hiking shoes because he didn't think he'd have time to hike, but when he realized he would, he went out the night before to purchase new shoes in town.

What I loved about our early morning exchange, besides his enthusiasm for the mountains, was he totally got it.  Being outside.  Enjoying the trails.  Getting lost in the beauty of the mountains.  That is the way of life around here.  There is no "exercise."  Hiking, walking, biking, and moving are just a way of life in towns like Breck.  Those activities are just that - activities.  Not exercise.  Not separate from life.

They are life.

So, if you are wondering where I am.  Why my blog posts are so sporadic or you can't find me easily. It is because I am living life.  And I'm incredibly grateful for it.

Alright, 2013....

I shared with you back in January (here) that 2013 would be the year I engage in my most effective work.  I must say.  Not only am I engaging in my most effective work, but also my most effective (and enjoyable) play.

I am loving 2013.  What about you?  How is your year so far?

All the best,

Jen

Orbiting the Giant Hairball

After my recent coaching session with Sue, I remembered how much I love the book, Orbiting the Giant Hairball, and how I could really stand to reread it again.

Have you read it?  It is soooo good.  And so true if you every feel like you are caught up in someone else's agenda, yet you want to stay true to yourself.

See what you think.

UPDATE:  My four-pack of coaching sessions with Sue is just about to end.  Mr. UpCyclist and I just chatted today about the benefits of coaching and how I love it and need it.  Guess what?  I am going to extend.  Sue, you haven't seen the last of me!
