DREAM again!!

it’s time to DREAM again!!  DREAMING is a source of JOY!  It’s fun to think about the things we’d love to do and see in life.  It’s also fun to FEEL a sense of purpose in our dreams.  God has destined us all to fulfill specific things in life.  Often those items come to us initially as a “dream” .  Many times the dream can be so BIG we can’t fathom it actually becoming reality.  

I challenge you to DREAM big dreams and Take ACTION toward making that dream a reality.  You may be amazed at how it may just come true!  I know in my life I’ve seen many DREAMS come true and I EXPECT many more of my dreams to be fulfilled in the days, months and years to come!!

“Dreams are meant to be fulfilled…God will not fasten your soul to a dead end vision!!”~ Lou Engle www.thecall.com

Yesterday, I was BEAT- very tired…I think the tennis and heat wor me out!  I felt better in the afternoon so we ended up going bowling as a family~ it’s so fun to see my kids getting better and better at bowling.

Then last evening,  I had a good run~

I ran 2 times around my block- about a 10 min run (.7mi each block)
rested (walked) for 1.5 mins
Sprinted 100m
rested (walked) for 2 mins
Sprinted 100m
rested (walked) for 2 mins
Sprinted 100m
rested (walked) for 1min
ran 1 more time around the block

It felt good to sprint again!!  I ran 2 sprints on Saturday.

Here in just a bit we are going to go workout- Chest/tris and let the kids swim while we are lifting.

Keep Going towards Living your DREAMS!!

Your dreamy friend,
Michelle

Lots of “TO DO’s” before the HOLIDAY- write a
diet, follow up with business partners, do tax stuff, accounting,
fulfillment, run, lift legs…WHEW~! Time to “GET ‘er DONE!!”

On the workout front, things are going well!!

Time for me to get’er done!!

Happy Friday!!

I overdid it!

I over did it on the 3 workouts I did M-T-W so I eneded up needing to take 2 days off instead of just one….but today the plan is to hit it again. Chest, Tris and ABS~ my back is a little more bothersome to me today. It may be from my cleaning up the back yard yesteray. It was a mess…anyhow I CLEANED the back yard in my bikni! After wards I layed in the sun and read a book- it was wonderful!!

Today so far, I’ve been catching up with my e-mails and with my FB friend and with you! I’ve been so busy working on taxes that I’ve been a little MIA~ sorry about that!! It’s good to see you are staying fired up and have such awesome MOJO! I LOVE YOUR DEDIDCATION!!!

I’ve been listening to this song over and over this morning- the lyrics are below
Brandie Carlie, The Story

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I’ve been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don’t mean anything

When you’ve got no one to tell them to

It’s true…I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops

Swam all across the ocean blue

I crossed all the lines and… I broke all the rules

But baby I broke them all for you

Because even when I was flat broke

You made me feel like a million bucks

Yeah you do and I was made for you

You see the smile that’s on my mouth

Is hiding the words that don’t come out

And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed

They don’t know my head is a mess

No, they don’t know who I really am

And they don’t know what I’ve been through but you do

And I was made for you…

Have a super SATURDAY!!

-Michelle
