This blog introduces you to my special brand of BIKE. I show you how to find your Best self, access your Inner strength, tune in to your Killer instincts, and use your Expressive voice. It's inspiring, spiritual, quirky, and it's all in your head. It's about ATTITUDE, not exercise, though that might be a side benefit.

New year, new direction



Look at the three of us! This photo was taken by Armor Todd in Sedona. He runs the Sedona trolley you may see around town if you've ever visited. His wife Patti is the PR representative for Sedona Rouge. The three of us in the photo, me, Christine Bailey and Teresa Bitler, were in Sedona two weekends ago giving a presentation about Arizona. We were also there to sell and sign our books.

Since late last year, we've joined forces to form the Arizona Authors & Adventurers, and I wanted you to meet us. You can find more about us and what we're doing together if you click on the link at the top of this page--on the right-hand side. But for now, I wanted you to know that this is a new direction I'm taking this year, and I expect it to be a very productive one. Each of us work on our own as well, but we thought it would be fun to figure out how we could work together to promote Arizona travel and our books.

Don't worry. I'm still the BIKE LADY. I'll still be coaching. I'll still be speaking and teaching my BIKE Lessons. I'll still be coming here. It's my passion. But from time to time, you'll be hearing about what the Arizona Authors & Adventurers are doing as well. I hope you don't mind. It's just if there's anything I've learned about the social media networks it's that you don't benefit if you don't use them. So use them I will.

And while you're here, be sure to keep me updated on what's new with you in 2010. It's a new year. Are you seeking any new or additional directions?

Recovery: Say cheese!



I've often heard--and I'm sure you have also--that when you're getting your picture taken, you should say, "Cheese!" It's supposed to give you the most relaxed smile. It's supposed to make it look like you're not posing. Here's another suggestion:

Live in the present moment.

When good things happen in your life, smile about it.

When you do things well, smile about it.

When you make someone feel good, smile about it.

When you complete something you're proud of, smile about it.

When you finish a job that you've worked hard on for months, smile about it.

In other words, celebrate your successes--and if you must say it, say, "Cheese!"

Just a little something to make you smile. Have a great week!
