Where is it you find joy?
Where is the beauty in your heart?
Who is it that touches your innermost
soul
Where does the love of God start?
When will we seek to know
Where peace and
love begin
We're here
as wind does blow
With
each new loving start.....

As the years come and go, we each find our
innermost places of beauty, love, sensitivity, happiness, sadness, vulnerability
and humanity. .... Yet I am mindful it is in the journey as we seek
to love and be loved, seek to learn and grow, that we create and paint
the pictures of our lives. May each of us find a beautiful picture
in our hearts and souls, and may we paint beautiful pictures in the lives
of others....

Aerobics Pics!!! I am forever grateful
to still be teaching aerobics... over the past 25 years we have truly
developed an "aerobic family"... many of us have been together in friendship,
through joys, challenges, births, deaths, triumphs and tragedies, but
the beauty is that through friendship we transcend it all!
My dear friend and Soul Sister Julie and I... the
two of us have taught aerobics together for over 10 years...

Fitness bought out Northwest and closed the Hwy 100 club... the club

their doors to our group and for all those who have sinced joined us!
