CHOICES
Such a powerful piece in the New York Times today written by Angelina Jolie...
I read it on the bus this morning and I was tearing up a bit. Makes you think about how important decisions and choices you make in life really are to yourself and those around you. Thinking before making actions is imperative. What hit me the most I think about this piece, is you can feel how powerful and strong Angelina feels now that she has had the procedure. To find more strength in yourself after a procedure such as this is quite impressive and such an inspiration.

BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT*
Breakthrough moment...
My brother graduated college last weekend from University of Indiana. I am used to him being away from home for school, but we talk often enough that when I see him it feels like I saw him yesterday. I miss him so much though because not only are we extremely close, he manages to always put me in the best mood no matter what's going on. Truly. I am so thankful for our relationship every day.
Anyway-he is moving at the end of May to SEATTLE for a job. Could he be any further?
Its great that he has a job, but I'm hoping Seattle wont be forever. Now that he is home for a few weeks I am trying to take advantage of the time we have.
He is in phenomenal shape and works out 6 days a week at least. However, despises cardio so his endurance isn't as high as he would like. I have been raving to him about soul cycle pretty much since I started and he had no interest. It was pretty much like talking to a wall. I mean he was happy that I was into it, but he had no interest for himself. So now that he's home, I completely played the "you're moving far away and I wont see you" card. I signed him up for Jolie's Saturday 11:45 Union Square class against his will and sure enough he came! I mean....he had too :)
I don't know what it was, but I have been dying to share this amazing experience of soul cycle with my family for so long now so having him there and beginning to understand what I was talking about meant more to me than I would have thought. I was completely in the zone that day and the music was just right. I got my very first call out from Jolie, and I swear if my shoes weren't locked in to the bike I probably would have fallen off.
When I spoke to her after as I always do to thank her, she told me how proud she was of me and that I am riding better than ever-on a whole new level. Coming from her, that meant more than words can describe. She teaches about 3 classes a day/6 times a week, and for her to recognize me personally and my progress is pretty awesome.
If I got anything out of this it was to constantly persevere, believe in yourself, and keep at it. This was so special and everyone needs and deserves that...
I wish that for you everyday :)
