Hello Friends,

Last weekend I went to the Bicycle Village Blowout Tent Sale with my sister and two of her friends. I was looking to buy a race helmet and replace my 15 year old mountain bike helmet I had been using. As they say, "Seek and You Shall Find", which was true in my case. I found a fantastic helmet that is light as a feather and was instantly comfortable. I have uploaded a photo of it, even though mine is white, so it will be nice and cool for racing in hot weather; my favorite! I am going to take it out for it's maiden voyage tomorrow, since the weather is so nice and Chrissie (my tri bike's name) can't wait to get out!!! Yes, I named her after the current Kona champion, Chrissie Wellington...http://www.chrissiewellington.org/latest-news/chrissie-wellington-wins-third-successive-ironman-world-championship/

On Tuesday of this week, I attended a presentation by an author named Rory Vaden about his new book called, Take the Stairs. What a phenomenal book and presentation! The book is about achieving your potential and why people fall short. Great information about how we make decisions and can use our mind to harness our full potential. Rory is from Colorado and is traveling the country city by city, 3 days at a time, to share the information in his book. He wrote it to try and help young people after seeing all of the teen bullying and suicides, but it is applicable to everyone. He donates money from his tour to a local kids' charity, which is really cool. Check out his book:

It is an easy, quick read http://www.buytakethestairs.com/ and maybe you will start taking the stairs and reach your potential...
