tracking an ilg requires versatility, forbearance, and a ‘whole’ ton of focused fun…

to feed Other Beings, before feeding oneself. the rather un-lovely right big toenail
is still blackened from Imogene Pass Race in September!

#2:

Coach Answers:

#3:
Dearest Teacher,
the Message of Wholeness that you are trying to Teach seems
lost to an iPod-and-entertainment addicted
eon…
what keeps you so convicted upon your Path of Wholeness?
Coach Answers:
the Grace of the Divine Mother
and the Love of those few who
travel our precious Path.
in a way a candle lights the darkest cave,
those of us that see the Light of
Wholistic Fitness®
see and feel
the spiritual ignorance of Kali Yuga.
feeling and seeing such spiritual ignorance among the masses
is a great Blessing
for it shifts with sudden power
external motivation into internal motivation
and sets the stage for Divine Motivation.
* – what we think Coach jestfully means is that many people who know they need to cut down on their coffee consumption still drink too ‘tasty’ of coffees. it’s easier to drive less for pleasure when your vehicle is an ox-cart rather than a Porsche.
