Additional Steps

Dear Friends,

I found this adorable little waterfall I hadn’t seen before while paddling around on the Potomac last Tuesday after work.

Last week, while on vacation with my family, I was teasing my brother for pumping up his daughter's paddle board by hand instead of with an electric pump.  His reply to me was “it’s a way better core workout!”....and, my friends, he is absolutely, 100% correct, it was a way better core workout to do all that pumping himself then to have an electric pump do the work for him.

Sometimes those additional steps are the things that we need and want, sometimes they’re great motivation in our day…and sometimes, I think we’ve all probably experienced this, that additional something standing in our way is what holds us back from getting some movement in our day.  

Let’s be honest, last Tuesday, if all I had was a hand pump and the promise of an extra half hour core workout to pump up my paddle board after a long and tiring day of work I would have just said no thank you and headed home…but that quick working and, more importantly, effortless electric pump allowed me to get out on the water on a Tuesday evening, paddle around, breathe a little deeper, enjoy the world around me and discover some beauty I hadn’t seen before.

My dear friend, I hope you can take some additional steps out of your life this week, so you can have an easier time finding movement, breath and beauty.

Love
Krista
