Dear coach Ilg,
My deepest apologies, but i am sad to write this to you. As i returned
to work today, my WF Blessed Mala Beads broke and I have no idea what happened.
I have not taken them off since I received them 2 weeks ago, and now I
feel lost not being able to wear them. Please tell me what I can do to
have them replaced.
In light,
Most Noble Warrior Jason
Joy gives a much needed hug to Dewachen moment’s after crossing the Finish Line during yesterday’s “Tri The Rim” triathlon…it was Joy’s first tri ever and her first competition as a mother…and she podium’d! Joy prepared mentally using my Pre-Event Meditation for the week leading up to the race. During the race, she used the the HP Yoga™ PROP WORKOUT mantra; “hum SAH!” to get her through her weakest event; the run. Whenever we apply our minds to confront and transform our weaker areas, therein lies the hidden, sacred kingdom of Wholeness! I grabbed that ever-involved with her baby girl new triathlete and coaxed a few words from her today…enjoy and be inspired by our First Lady of WF once again!!! Congratulations, baby!
THUMBS UP for Peter Diamond; our point warrior at BodyHealth, Inc…makers of the priceless MAP Amino Acids. as ilg has attempted to Teach you throughout these decades, it’s really, really important to every now and then, pay it back to someone whose honest hard work often goes unheralded, unknown, and perhaps unpaid…such is the case for our point-warrior at the guard of BodyHealth, Inc..makers of the incredible MAP Amino Acids. below is my salute of his energy to his boss; Dr. Minkoff…photo: ilg on the 13,000’+ summit of Imogene Pass Race, 2008. Imogene is one of the Three Sacred Sweat Pilgrimages of Wholistic Fitness™.
i was feeling a little punky about doing a Club Ride this morning…you know, it’s a typical April day in Durango; cold, windy, spitting rain/snow…then, outdoor athlete extraordinaire (Durango is chock full of them!) and devoted HP Yogi Mark Rosenthal sent me the story below…May it also inspire you to keep your Practice strong today…
i took this shot after picking up Ananda just south of Baker’s Bridge a few days ago after she did some triathlon training. as a family, we then threw sticks into a creek, watched Wapiti Beings relax into a sunset, and just enjoy other basic family necessities. such sweetness in the moment is the Blessed Common Denominator to living in Durango…
Women will be allowed to compete in (even writing that sounds weirdly wrong!) in Nordic Ski Jumping at the 2014 Winter Olmpics in Russia…go(o)d thing Dewachen is already in training! Now, it’s time to…
Dharma sign, downtown Durango, this morning.
ilg was able to manage 21 Cardio Commutes last month between walking, jogging, or cycling some of my errands. How ’bout you? Live like a tree, not like a fire.
