Hello to all,
I have been on a crusade to get contenders rounded up from the local fire and police departments of RI. I want to help them build teams and get signed up to compete in the 911 Fitness Challenge starting in January, 2009. Proceeds will be going to the Shiner's Children Hospitals. The winning team will be awarded a prize; but, there is another benefit for our 911 personnel as well. They will be working to get themselves in better shape, build muscle and lose body fat. Being in better shape will benefit our 911 men and women endure the demands and challenges of the job. This will spill over into the civilian lives they are so selflessly dedicated to serve and protect everyday. They will also increase the quality and logevity of their lives both for themselves and their families.
I am here to help them do just that!
Being their contact, and having the opprotunity to coach and guide them is a great privlelage and an honor.
I am driven to help get them on track and into the best shape of their lives. Here is a look into the first 3 episodes of the start of my crusade roundup.
I hope that you enjoy the journey as much as I am. Thank you for tuning in. Your interest and support is much appreciated.
Headquarters was a good stop. Lt. is going to talk to the guys and I will be doing a follow up visit. On to Johnston......
That is the first 3 episodes.... Check back in and make a few more stops with me.
Questions and comments are welcome as always. You can send them to me here:

Please post your comments here on the blog. We love to hear what you think!
Be Happy, Be Strong, Be Up For the Challenge!

Life, Death, and Letting Go
Letting Go!
Wow, not a topic I had thought I would be writing about any time soon. Nor would I have chosen something of this nature to put out there as "inspirational" However, it is something that takes a great amount of strength and power of the mind, heart and soul. Which is what the Fit MindBody Method is striving to help you with. It is also a very real subject and not healthy to just ignore.
Recently a client and also a good friend of mine lost his Mother to cancer. I too lost an Uncle only last month. Another friend of mine is dealing with his Mother's battle and getting through some kemo treatments. My younger brother has 4 female friends with cancer. I couldn't nor would I make this stuff up!!
It pains my heart so to see such suffering, such sadness.........
That is where I need to start this blog for you today. Death is a part of life. And living is a part of death.
We need to remember that all is temporary, at least in this plane of of living, this vibration of our humanness on earth. I am not talking religion here, nor will I get into that with anyone who responds to this. I have my beliefs and somethings shall not be debated.
So as I was saying, Death a part of life and living a part of death......
We know that eventually all things and all people will eventually have to pass. On a surface level we even except it. Until it happens. Then the acceptance and letting go become very difficult. That is where we need to remember that living is a part of death.
To my dear friends and to my loving family, and any of you reading this who has had or is currently experiencing a great loss. Hold tight to one another and remember you are still living. Take comfort in knowing that this is not the end. Grieve, but do not become consumed.
I read in my fortune cookie last weekend, "The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success." Profound I thought. Those can be two of the hardest in life..... Then I thought about how hard life (including death) can be for many of us to handle.
One last thing: I have written a meditation for you for comfort and strength.
Read it as many times in the day, as many days as you feel you need to refocus or you need comfort and strength. I hope it helps.
I am here for questions, guidance, comments and discussion.
In Peace, Love, and Inner Strength

For this moment I will stop and allow myself to be human. To be open, raw, and feel. For this moment I will let go of my belief that life is awful, painful, and difficult. For this moment I will be free of all wants, needs, and thoughts. For this moment I will just be... and believe that I am right were I am supposed to be. This is divine timing; and in this moment I am and always will be; no matter what... alright!
