ilg’s Green Chile Stew
i must really, really, REALLY love y’all…cuz normally, i’m too selfish a yogi to reveal s(om)ething this pranically powerful! enjoy! let me know how you like it!

…s(om)etimes in your Life Journey? you just gotta drop into It All and GO FOR IT!
many newcomers to Durango now intentionally leave our luscious town during the spring to vacation in tropical ethers and in doing so? they miss the delicious bardo which transitions winter and spring
and their timeless, bittersweet battle dance. ilg pities them.
this morning, beneath my mountain bike tires i saw struggling shoots of bright green which confused my choice of technical lines. i feel the haste and jealousy of upcoming spring…i miss winter already.
Namaste Noble Warriors! as you know, i’ve been around the Health, Fitness, and Elite Sport Performance field for quite a few decades, yet NEVER have i felt so confident in realizing the impact of a go-to multi vitamin/mineral supplement as i do BodyHealth’s COMPLETE +Detox!
