Hi All! We discussed this in the chat and during the class last Saturday, but here is a picture of my gardening knee pad that I use. It is nothing special, think it was $10 at Target, but it works wonders for my knees.

As I mentioned in the chat, my knee caps have been pulled to the outside of my knee due to over development of my outer thighs after years of playing year round volleyball (which is you always being in a squat position, ha! And back in the early days of club sports, there was no such thing as cross training) and my hyper-mobility going undiagnosed/treated. In high school I went to a ortho because I use to be in so much pain and that is when I had an x-ray taken. In the image, you can see the knee caps resting on the outside bone. I use this pad anytime we are on our knees.

Hope this tip helps others.

Ollie loves being on the mat almost as much as me 😋

Feeling grateful for my 5th Marniversary! Grateful for finding the perfect, best, fun,inspiring workout AND community. Thank you to all my exercise buddies around the world.

Hi global family, just wanted to share I’ve been going through a really tough time. I was recently laid off from my job and haven’t been taking it the best. I struggled to workout after it and today I did an m/body 60 minutes XXX 476 and Marnie’s words at the end brought me to tears. It was exactly what I needed to hear right now and am so thankful for this platform and community 🩷

When I saw this poem I thought it fit perfectly with our theme of presence.

PS Yvonne Riley and I agree with Marnie’s newsletter book recommendation!

Who has exited social media, how is it going, what helped you succeed? I’m so tired of sound bites and echo chambers and all the bad things. Have you replaced it with magazines, books, newspapers, or something else? (Photo of Rob Thomas at the piano from his concert in Denver last week. I’ve loved him/MB20 since the 6th grade! I selfishly would love a 20-30min class with all Rob and MB20.)

I just listened to the glucose q & a.

Thank you for that input, I always find it very helpful!

So this morning we went out on the boat, got that sunlight, got nature, saw a lot of dolphins. But I also had a cappuccino and a croissant.

Perfect harmony 🌈 for me.

There is this saying in German:

the dose makes the poison.

Which I love, because it is so true….

Wishing everyone a beautiful summer!
