day 364 - happy birthday tova!!!

i have to say this is my first year with my birth date on facebook. and wow.
thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. my heart swoons. i really love you guys and i feel extremely fortunate. thank you truly. love you.

today, is tuesday the 22nd.

today is TOVA (one of my best friends) birthdays - we celebrated together and sang happy birthday. HAPPPPPY BIRTHDAY TOVA. LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

(that's us when we drove across country earlier this year. fun!)

i realize that to get a blog out everyday is going to take some planning. which leads me to another great realization. order and excellence go hand in hand. as much as life can seem random at times - i believe that there is order in the universe. and as such, a life of excellence also has order.

now- for this here (at times) dare i say, 'flaky' artist- order is something that i resist.

but living your best life (for me anyway) means commitment.

for example: i did a sypnga class today - (that's spinning and yoga) now here is the exciting thing about commitment. after a long day of meetings and deadlines i didn't feel like taking a class - but, because i made the commitment to do the class my commitment was there to overrule my inertia. so i went and felt great afterward.

after the singing i spent an unplanned hour on skype with a friend o' mine, unplanned but great and he gave me some useful advice on working out. which was (this is what i heard not exactly what he said) that exercise is not just about the goal it's about pushing yourself. which i love. and to be quite honest when it comes to exercise that is something i rarely do. or rather i have rarely done.

but again going back to commitment and process. stretching yourself in the moment is exciting and fun!

so now i am typing feverishly to get this out before midnight.

let me leave you with this a workout video with me, trey and TOMMY EUROPE that we did this in february. an oldie but a goody.

push yourself...i dare you.

the party continues
