Dear Steve-

I would like to compliment you on your work.� I have your “Outdoor

Athlete” and your newest “Total Body Transformation”.� I have been

trying to follow it for 3 weeks now.� I imagine as I write this that

you shake your head (if you’re actually the one reading this) at the

word “trying”.� I understand.� I am progressing, and now have more

respect for the strength of my difficulties and more compassion for my

own weaknesses than ever before.� I don�t believe that is apathetic,

or defeatist, but simply realistic.� Maybe too much ego in previous

thinkings�. Ramble, ramble, ramble�

Anyway, as I imagine you hear often, I have been aware of you and your

work since the Outside Magazine article a few (ha!) years back.� For

some reason, I was compelled to keep the issue.� Every so often I find

it while cleaning up piles of things I intend to pursue.

My path has been one kind of like those piles.� I get everything

organized and get sprint into it and then slowly get distracted and

overwhelmed by an avalanche of other interests, obligations and/or

various vices.� One example would be going from being a pack a day

smoker to participating in the marine corps marathon in 6 weeks�. Then

struggling again with smoking afterwards.���

The real reason I am writing you, besides trying to give you some

respect/encouragement for your work and apparently hoping for a word

or two from you, is that I saw on your site the May 1st deadline for

Sunrider.� I just joined as a preferred customer.� They require a

sponsor and I put you down.� If you mind, please let me know and I

will have them change it.� However, since I heard about it from you

and assume that there may be some compensation coming your way from

it, I took the liberty in the short time frame.

When I finish sending this to you, I will go to the gym.� I will use

the image of you shaking your head at the word �trying� as I work

out.� As I�m sure you�re aware, your work reaches out far to many

people.� This voice is just reaching back saying thank you for your

example.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Doug Harrison

�

the addition in my daily practise of;

�

1- stability ball�instead�of a chair at my desk

2- toe spreaders (yup..makes my wife laugh..at me..too)

3-neti pot

�

has had� subtle, yet deep and strong impacts

on my practise….

1-low back pain gone..strength/flexability up,

2-better balance in gym, on yoga mat, and surfing..

also feel clearer inside..

3- no need for flonase, breath and sleep improvements…

seems to clear out what surf session nasal� drain doesn’t..

My Guru –

Lately, I’m attracting positive people; people who have wonderful things

to say about me:

“Dear L,

If every administrator in every school in all the land were as

warm and accessible , fair and HUMAN

as you are, then all the children in all schools could not help

but learn from their comfortable,

contented teachers and would be well. Test score would become

irrelevant; self esteem, humor and

warmth would abide. Everyone would be extra kind and forgiving

toward their fellows. Children would be smarter

because negative feelings would not cloud their ability to

learn at maximum level. Love would permeate and all obstacles to

love would be removed. This would all

occur if you were president of the world. You

have my vote.

Love, Yvonne”

Wow, is that heavy? That’s because of your teachings Coach Ilg.

I owe this wonderful accolade to you.

You have helped me in ways you will never know. That’s why I

can’t let go of WF Programs.

I await my new program with canine teeth. Give me something to

chew on.

I bow to you noble Coach and dear friend.
