Christmas memories… and all the ones that came before. 🎄

This season was filled with moments that reminded me why I choose experiences over things — time together, shared laughter, learning, and memories that keep unfolding long after the moment passes.

From slow mornings and good workouts to deep rest and spa-day bliss… from meaningful conversations to standing together in places rich with history — each moment felt like a gift. Spending this time with our daughter Rachel, soaking it all in, is something I’ll always hold close.

Five years ago, at Christmas, Rachel and I began intentionally choosing experiences together, starting at Nemacolin in Pennsylvania. Since then, those experiences have taken us across cities, countries, and moments in history — learning to scuba in Key West, exploring ancient ruins in Tulum, standing at the Alamo, walking Paris, discovering Nice, and even squeezing history lessons into football weekends. And yes, many trips to California as we searched for where she’d eventually land for college.

I suppose I’ve been preparing for this season of life longer than I realized.

I choose experiences because they become memories, perspective, growth, and connection.

The conversations we have, the laughter that carries on, and the stories that turn into even more laughter are truly the greatest gifts a mom could ask for.

Here’s to more Christmas memories… and many more experiences with the people we love.

Rachel and I began our trips / experiences together 5 years ago at Christmas time at Nemacolin in Pennsylvania. This was after I decided to gift our children experiences, rather than “things” they open once while the experience keeps unfolding. I tend to combine fun with history.

We learned how to scuba in Key West Christmas last year. We saw the Cowboys play at AT&T and squeezed in a trip to Dealey Plaza to expand their thinking about the JFK assassination. Nice France Summer 2024. We explored the ruins at Tulum in Mexico Thanksgiving 2023 and the Alamo Christmas 2023. Paris for Thanksgiving 2022. And, no surprise six trips to California to find where Rachel would land for college.

I guess I’ve been preparing for their departure for college for a long time!

I choose experiences as these moments become memories, perspective, learning, growth - and all-the-while lasts long after the moment passes. The conversations we have, the laughs and the fodder for more laughs make three the best gifts a mom could wish for.

Here’s to more experiences with loved ones.

Movement doesn’t have to be perfect or fancy—it just has to happen.

This is exactly how I get my workout in while traveling, and the best part? You can do this too.

A few weights, a little space, and a commitment to yourself.

Midlife bodies thrive on consistency, not intensity.
Save this, try it on your next trip, and remember: your health doesn’t go on vacation

I believe strength isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about creating a lifestyle that supports you from the inside out. Sustainable Strength Blue represents the calm, grounded confidence that comes from showing up for yourself with intention, balance, and grace.

This shade reflects the quiet power of early-morning clarity, mindful movement, restorative sleep, and consistent habits that honor your whole life — not just your workout. It’s the color of strength that lasts, energy that’s steady, and wellness that doesn’t depend on burnout or extremes.

In a world that glorifies hustle, Sustainable Strength Blue celebrates a strength that’s sustainable — one that grows with you, supports you, and empowers you to live fully.

Here’s to a year of clarity, consistency, and becoming the strongest, most vibrant version of yourself.

As you can see I was traveling this week and unable to meet with the full Monday crew.  

I’m seeing a small team of them tomorrow. Those who can’t meet tomorrow, took matters in their own hands. And they TRAINED on their own.

Greatest compliment a coach can receive is to hear a client is confident managing her own training. Even greater is when two partner up for it.

On the docket Monday at our normal time: - handstands (therefore Tracy’s handstand hair! ☺️)

From the mouths of these strong(her) women:

“Tracy and I killed a workout. My favorite part was doing a 79lb dead lift! PR!! Tracy’s favorite part was just getting out here and still doing it. Plus we worked on a lot of different movements. I also got up in a handstand kicking my feet over!” - Lauren

Ahhhh on the road again for yet another swim meet. It’s swim season!

How do I approach travel and particularly one where I need to be available to watch and film my speedy swimmer .emc AND still get in my gym time?

“When we fail to plan, we plan to fail” (Benjamin Franklin). First I start with a plan. What will I do when I get to the gym. Nothing worse than arriving without a plan. I have a library of training programs. I always bring them with me. I typically have a program I’m working through for at least 6-8 weeks. Yet, sometimes I prefer to shake it up on the road, particularly when gym equipment is sparse and my program is either Barbell or KB centric. I like to options! Here’s my packet of programs, 52 for a year, from . I pack my red bands, my headphones and of course wrist bands in case the gym has bells.

On this trip, thankfully, I have access to LifeTime Fitness. Bought a day pass for three days ahead of time. Then I’m committed.

I chose grab a spot, as I’ve recommended in the past. I grabbed a rack suited with a box, a pull up bar, a TRX and grabbed two beloved bells.

As always, I set a timer. Needed to get to the pool by 915. I worked for an hour on 5 movements. 7 sets of fun.

Bands. Bells. Barbell. Box. TRX. Just what I needed before a swim meet watching marathon.
