How many spa appointments does a “centered” girl need?

The answer – at least three if she has herself in the center of the equation!

Yes, three 60-min spa appointments at Waves of Superior Spa (heavenly), two workouts in the fitness center with a view, a walk in the freshly fallen snow along Lake Superior’s shoreline, a little hot tubbing and a jacuzzi bath — all in the same day.

Being tested or opportunity to hone my skills?

Funny where life’s opportunities for growth pop up and when.

After 15 months of walking the path of putting myself at the center of the equation, I am now being tested beyond belief.

Birthday gifts for Lori

This morning I awoke on the North Shore of my beloved Lake Superior a happy, refreshed, and rejuvenated girl. So, on the spur of the moment, I decided to give myself one final birthday gift – an entire weekday morning to myself! No clients, no deadlines, no must dos, no worries. I simply took the morning off for fun and focus on Lori. Read more

Celebrating the happy girl in the pink dress

Happy Valentine’s Day friends. And Happy Birthday to me! I love this day of love and sweetness, and would totally embrace it even if it weren’t my birthday.

Today, I celebrate not only me…but the new me (inside and out). And, all of the amazing people whom I love and who have accompanied me on this incredible journey. What a lucky, lucky girl I am to have so many amazing people in my corner assisting, encouraging, and cheering me on. Read more

Fit girls push harder

This morning, I am wresting with my head after a reality check about the intensity of my workouts – in particular strength training. Have I been too dependent on my trainers’ help and guidance, not dialing into my own body and ensuring that I can rock it on my own in the weight room or the gym?
