things to do at recess

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With the weather being quite frigid up here in the North East, Canada 🇨🇦 ☃️🌬❄️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m continuously trying to put my mind past the current state of weather into a positive sunny place; like when @koncious_k & I were training outside on a regular basis this past summer 🌞 🧘🏻‍♂️☀️🧘🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As @the_mindful_mover mindful_mover would say, “Its the double gains as you hop onto the gain train while training outside”. Vitamin D is essential to life and well-being it helps with bone & muscle strength, muscle power & force, lean body mass, depression, mood regulation etc. and its best form is received by being outside.🌳 💪🏻🤗☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel something is suppressed inherently as a homosapien by not being outside daily receiving natural light and air. It is something we have to deal with being Canadian in the winter months but in contrary, I believe it makes us tougher humans with having to deal with various elemental factors & seasons. Along with the fact of Canada being ranked the 2nd best country to live in the world (1st was Switzerland 🇨🇭 ) & ranked the 1st Country to live in for the Quality of Life (reported by U.S. News Best Countries Rankings), the seasonal changes and long term lack of natural vitamin D are variables we must accept and appreciate as a tradeoff for living in such a beautiful country. 🌅 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That being said, on this bright sunny day, we are training our movement day, which consist of plyometric & landing mechanics, single leg balance (not shown), variable footwork (from the @fightingmonkey_rootlessroot ) & sprinting (not shown) 💪🏻🎾👊🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #FlowWithinTraining #Kaizen #ControlYourSelf #WhatDoesntKillYou #RootlessRoot #FightingMonkey #Plyometrics #Footwork #Movement #Practice #Fitness #Strength

Light

Warriors of the light…
Against what war?
Where fling implements
Where attempt supremacy ?
It’s any moment suffused
A radiant expression ‘gainst which
The passing sunset gains
Some ideal
Supremacy?

warm cookies

I will never forget the feeling of warm cookies in my hand, and their enormous lovely sugary promise.
Rarely has anything been able to distract me from eating them immediately.
But just once, on a cold starry clear night in the high desert someone came along more important, more present and more lovely than warmest of warm chocolately chipped cookies.
It’s not about how well you do anything, but the feeling that opens up from within your action, when all of your being is in the music that you make.

CELEBRATE Antoinette Tuff

I just explained to him that I loved him. - Antoinette Tuff
Antoinette Tuff, describing what love does in extraordinary situations.

He was really a hurting young man.

Allowing him to know some of my life stories and what was going on with me.

Bullets don’t have a name

I give it all to God. I’m not a hero.

I just explained to him that I loved him.

Amazing things happen when we are grounded in Love. Thank you Mrs. Tuff, for the light!
