F2M2

It goes without saying that this is the time of year when people need the most help.  It's cold outside and families are in desperate need of winter coats for their growing children.  The nearly bare tables surrounded by families that only have each other do not compare to the tables where many of us will feast during the holidays.  And our children, who know the excitement that comes with Santa's visit all too well, will go back to school and share their stories of the holidays with their friends . . . who may not have a story to tell.
     Please hold those family close to your heart this season.  When you're shopping for bargains, pick up an extra toy, jacket, sweater, or coat for a child this Christmas.  As you go through your kids rooms to make space for more toys, clothes, etc. - think about children at your kids school(s) who may desperately need those donations.  Ask your school administrators what you can do to help and use the power of Facebook to make this season one of giving and pass on the goodwill.  Engage your kids . . . show them the spirit of giving by allowing them to take an Angel from the Angel Tree.  Take them to the store, give them a budget (no gift is too small), and let them take part in giving to a child in need.
     This holiday season, my Pure Strength groups are sponsoring a family in need.  We are giving them a Christmas and all that comes with that - food, gifts, and a few extras.  We found a family that, despite all of their hard work, just can't seem to make ends meet . . . and they were not hard to find.  I recommend you do the same . . . on what ever scale you can . . . sponsor a family, a child from the Angel Tree, or donate what you can . . . any and all forms of help are needed.


Have a great week...:))

Hope to see you all this week working towards a calorie deficit for turkey day...:))  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and I know I will be thinking of all of you and how grateful I am to call you a friend and have your support!

Wow!  So proud of all of my Rock N Roll marathon, half marathon, and half marathon relay friends!  You all did a great job and M2 is very pleased with each and every one of you!  Training for something like that takes a lot of commitment and dedication to many things - your training program, your diet, your cross training workouts . . . not to mention the support of your family to make sure you stay on track week after week!

     I hope you feel proud of your accomplishment and take the opportunity to continue making fitness goals for yourself.  I've already signed up for the Dallas half marathon!!! 

Have a great week...:))

M2 is the donation station for your Halloween candy!

     Get a head start on the holiday temptation by avoiding the sugar rush and bite size calories that can quickly add up to frustration when you start shopping for your holiday party dress!  By now, many of you are ready to get rid of the temptation of your Halloween candy leftovers.  On Wednesday, bring your candy (any kind of candy) to any of my classes and drop it in the box.  We will then hand it over to a local Girl Scout troop who is donating the goods to our military troops.  It's a win-win!!!

Have a great week...:))

Thank you to all who came out to Monday's special Halloween classes - I hope you all had as much fun as I did!  :)  For those of you who have been asking - the treats I gave out on Monday were made by my niece, Cassidy.  They are organic, naturally made, and super yummy healthy treats.  If you're interested in purchasing her products you can either friend her or send her a message on Facebook for product details - look on my list of friends for Cassidy Holdsworth.

Many of you know my Aunt has been very ill and I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your thoughts and prayers.  She has taken a turn for the worse and will be leaving us very soon.

Please don't let life pass you by.  Live your life with love and passion . . . ENJOY life.
