That's where I B(e)LO(n)G...

Why HOW DO!!! A few days back a friend asked me how to substitute fitness bands for a pullup bar like they do on P90X...so being the curious kind of gal that I am, I discovered a couple of things (as follows..)
* there is a little rubber circular band Beachbody sells that makes my own contraption seem a little ghetto...
* where there's a will, there's a way!
So I wrapped my band around the top hinge of my bathroom door, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THE ACTION in my cottage...so now I can't just walk by, letting it continue its idle hanging--in turn am doing the equivelant of dozens upon dozens of pullups a day! My arms are in serious love! AND THANKS!!! (So here I am to the left, saying Oh Why Not, to another round of band work :))
I spent some time this week with a friend at Lithia Park, playing frisbee in the grass and learning about a deliciously refreshing springtime drink o' the garden...
Heres what I like to put in mine:

*Cilantro handful and or Parsley
* small apple
* 1/2 zucchini or cucumber
*3 radish
*collards or kale (approx 5 leaves)
* lemon juice, 3 ice cubes, cup water
* carrots, celery, you get the picture at this point I'm sure!
I then whirl it all up in my vita-mix and VOILA::::: Refreshing, exhuberating, joyful making, lovely tasting!
In other news, I am very happy to write that 2 of my art pieces (one oil painting and one poem) were chosen to be featured in the 2010 We'Moon date planner~a calendar for women, by women! It would be cool to see a men's version of this come out...is there such a thing?
I am blessed to have men in my life who have defined goodness, love, honor, devotion, integrity and heart, men who have gone against what the social norms are at present, to follow their truths and love their people, love their families, love themselves.
I would like to encourage you gents who follow the knightly path, chivalry needn't be a lost art. What is truly masculine is a beautiful thing to be learned from, it is a celebration! So to you men, who are of true heart and mind, who are steadfast in your vision, probably a bit old school, let us lift our glasses, our garden green drinks, our thanks! Bless you all well, in health, in heart, in all things inspired and wonder filled!!! You carry with you a powerful legacy. Here are the two most precious boys in my world, my nephews Finny and Gus~being raised by my sis and one of the best men I know!!! Love ya Jake xoxo
