  • Because I’m Happy

    I don’t have to think about science until 9 a.m Friday morning and I am grateful.  I will be teaching Power at 6:15 am and Yin at 7:45 p.m. which makes me Happy! I took a multitude of pictures today – an effective coping mechanism I am finding.  Here goes:

  • Day 12 of #beSTRONGin2015

    I will post the video clip of this one later because it’s kinda funny. But for now here is the final still of the shoot. Gotta leave if there for now, much to do here at work.
