What a week ~

Well I usually "pride" myself on being pretty healthy and being able to avoid getting sick. Well this week my "pride" was shaken! Which helped me realize once again ~ kick that pride to the curb :-)
I have been fighting a weird infection all week, but I am grateful that I can feel it coming to an end finally. It was a good lesson for me. I usually try to "work" past not feeling good and keep doing what I would normally do as a mommy, as a wife, as an instructor, as a cook, etc.....but this little bug forced me to stay down. But I am grateful to be sitting here thinking about all my wonderful friends and clients and what fun things we can get started on next week ~

I am the Queen of Gleaning. Gleaning great information that is! There are so many respectable and credible people out there with such great information. I love to pass this information on to all of you whenever I find anything of interest or importance.

I have a few of my clients ask me "What is the difference between Pilates and Yoga"? Well most of you know I have a deep love for both. I've done my best to "try" to explain the similarities and differences, but I think this article does a great job. If you have time, it's a great read.

In addition, I would like to bring you each week a fun new "healthy" recipe to try. I know we are all trying our best to add healthy foods into our diets. It's not always easy when you are running around. And believe me ~ I AM NOT PREACHING. I can eat naughty with the best of them. But it's my goal to try to add one new healthy meal a week. This one looked kind of fun and yummy ~

It's for a Lemon Cake and it looks delicious! I know Cole will love it ~ whether or not the other picky eaters in my house will give it a thumbs up is still to be seen. I'll let you all know.

As ALWAYS ~ I am so grateful to all of you for allowing me to do what I love more than anything. It's such a blessing to do what you love.

Have a fantastic rest of the week and weekend. As for me ~ I'm back to bed.
