Mind and Body Fitness Connections

Well I am excited to say that I have been seeing clients on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s out of Spirit House Yoga at 5107 N Shartel since the beginning of June.  Their website is www.spirithouseyoga.com.  They have a room that I have been renting to work on massage clients.    Now, I will also have an excellent location for exercise therapy working out of a personal training studio called The Obvious Group located within Northpark Mall starting the first week of August.  Their website is www.obviousgroup.org

Onther exciting venture I’ve been exploring is reconnecting with a business associate from the DC area where I used to live.  The plan is to start up an Active Duty Fitness For Women Site here in Oklahoma City sometime in the fall.  We are working out all the details now.  If you want more information on the women’s boot camp go to www.activedutyfitness.com and you will get an idea of how the program will be implemented here in the city. 

Stay well and keep in touch with questions and updates!

Time turns gray

And slips away

As shadows do

On a dreary day

The years pass

And the world turns

History being made

Leaving burns

From the dying rose

Silent anger cries

Just wilting lifeless pedals

Like an unhappy old man who dies

Without the love

We all must see

Unrest and madness

I fancy thee

The falling rain

Taps into pain

Yet for some

It keeps them sane

This world brings chaos

And turns us mad

Without our creator’s love

We will forever be sad

Mind and Body Fitness Connections will set up a table at the Art of Yoga Studio in the Paseo District on Friday Aug 7th from 6 to 10 pm.  Come and learn more about the services I offer and see the amazing art displays.  Here is some information about the event:

Hi to all, it has been quite some time since I have written anything. Life has been hectic and out of the ordinary these last couple months. Unfortunately our family never got to go on the cross country adventure we had planned. It’s amazing the curve balls life throws at you. My husband, son and I all settled back in Oklahoma the first week of April and have stayed here since then, however we are living separtely and Dylan is with his dad one week and me the next. I know our family could use prayers from all of you that know the trials we have been through over the past few years. I do believe this will be best for all of us in the long run, however a transistion like this is never easy in the begining.

On a different note, I am starting my business back up again and working on getting my name out there both via the internet and through local professionals who can refer business to me. I am pleasantly surprised to see that the alternative health field is growing here in OKC. I think I have entered at a time before the market is saturated, however, the public has a growing awareness about alternative practices and is seeking services like what my business provides.

Here are a couple pictures that were taken before we left California that I absolutely love! It was my first time to try surfing (and to think I lived in CA 5 years before I took the time to try!) I will be back out there again though and I will definately give it another go!

Well things have been busy since we have been back in Cali! I am working a couple days a week and then meeting up with alot of clients and friends. I’m also working with a CHEK Practitioner and a Neuromuscular Therapist that I know as well as my NUCCA Chiropractor. Since I don’t have any of those types of contacts elsewhere around the country yet I figured I should take advantage of my practitioner’s services here.

My husband, son, the dogs and our roommates have been to the beach a couple times and it has been so relaxing and great. I forgot how much I missed the sunshine, holistic approach to life and the food- I’m not sure if there is anywhere else that has produce like we have here in So Cal.

I’ll post more later with pics! Take care, I’m going to finish up working this morning and then go enjoy the sunshine! May health and peace be with you always!

Back to California next week! I?m excited to be making the journey. We got to see snow and a tornado while back in our home state of Oklahoma (thunder/electricity storms are Kinny?s and my favorite weather). It was a little crazy on the 10th when the tornado blew through the Chucky Cheese where my cousin?s 4-year-old son had a party just the weekend before, on the 7th. Fortunately, where we have been staying just got rain and
wind.

I just wanted to let you know that I will be back in Oceanside next week and I will be taking appointments at The Wellness Center in the AM Thurs the 26th and on Sat. the 28th. Then for 3 to 4 weeks of March I will take appointments on Monday afternoon/evenings and Thursday mornings. If you are interested in making an appointment you can call them directly at 760-726-9660, they will be keeping my schedule for me. Otherwise if you want
to talk to me, of course my cell and email will still be working. I will be out of
commission on the computer for most of next week though, so my cell phone will be the best way to get in touch with me Feb 16th to 22nd. After that I should be settled and have more time to check email.

We plan to be in Oceanside through most of March, then start our tour of the U.S. after that. Our travel trailer is waiting for us in Oceanside and we are looking forward to checking it out and starting our camping tour. I do have updated pictures on my blog from the last few weeks. Please visit www.mindandbodyfitness.net/blog to check them out. Be Well!

With gratitude,

Wow what an exciting week.   I had some of my out of state family and friends calling because they heard about the torndado here on Feb 10th.  Fortunately we were out of the path of the tornado, but not by far (just a few miles).  Below are pictures of my cousin’s son (Easton) who turned 4 on Feb 7th.  His birthday party was at the Chucky Cheese that’s been all over the news because the tornado hit it.  Anyway, here are pictures of the party.

 Here are a couple of pictures of Easton with his cake.

My Cousin Brian and his Wife Shelby (Easton’s parents) 

The party table.

Dylan dancing with the mechanical Chucky.

This first picutre was taken at a restaurant with good friends.  A friend I’ve known for many years (Mark) had his birthday on the 28th, so Kinny, me, Mark and his wife Codi all went to eat.  You can tell we were bundled because it was in the middle of the nasty weather.  The rest of the pix were taken at my moms house in the yard with Kinny, Dylan the dogs and myself.  Then ironically enough another good friend of mine (that I’ve know since I was 4 years old) had her birthday on the 28th as well.  Unfortunately I didn’t get pics, but she lives outside of the city a bit and after the weather cleared a little, Kinny and I went over to their place for the birthday.  We talked until 5 am, slept till 11/12ish and then played rock band all day.  Kinny’s mom had Dylan and Deena and Johns kids are mostly grown and out of the house so it was a truely stress free time;  I can’t remember when I’ve had that much fun.

One more of Dylan me and the dogs…. Dylan has seen snow now, I’m ready to head back to sunshine!!! Hello California!

My 7 year old niece is in cheer and they were competing last Sunday (on the 25th) so I went to watch.  Unfortunately it was pretty dark in the stadium so my pix inside didn’t turn out very well.  They did take first place in their division at the National Competition though so needless to say there was a lot of excitement surrounding the event!

During the performance

My sister had just bought her a rose after their performance.

Chey, me and Trinity at the stadium.

Well Brian deployed on the 24th.  I went to the National Guard and watched as they got on the bus and then we followed them to the airport.  This was a very different experience than what Marines get.  With Brian, when we got to the airport they gave us all passes so we could wait at the gait until his plane arrived.  During all of Kinny’s deployments we waited outside (for hours) while the units got organized, loaded up on the buses and left.  I never got to go to the airport with him. Oh the difference between Marines and other brances of he armed service….. enough on that…… Brian’s family is just glad he will still be on US soil for the next 4 weeks training before actually going overseas. Anyway here are some pics.
