I had such a great experience today at this morning's pilates class. We had a different instructor, who usually teaches only advance students, and she really pushed us to do things that were different. I can usually roll like a ball, spread my legs and roll back for rocking chair, and clap my feet above my head for seal... but she had me place my forehead on my knees and it was such a struggle to do something as simple as rolling like a ball.
I'm really in awe for what the human body really can do... we are capable of manipulating and stretching our bodies beyond our wildest imagination once you lose your inhibitions and fears.
Tonight, the Mister and I have a date to see Hubbard Street Dance:
Hubbard Street Dance Chicago danc(e)volve: New Works Festival from MCA Chicago on Vimeo.
Speaking of stretching yourself out of what's easy or comfortable, now that I've taken care of some personal business... I'm taking on a pro bono project utilizing my professional talents for the Taproot Foundation.
If you are a professional in creative marketing, strategic HR, website-related design and IT, or strategy, you can donate your services to help various non-profit organizations and collaborate with sponsoring organizations like the Ad Council. Candidates must be able to meet once a month in New York, Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay Area. The time commitment is about 100 hours over the course of six months.
This weekend, I challenge you: how are you going to extend yourself?
