The Holy Moment

Some people live in the illusion of the past, and some in the illusion of the future. I choose right now (the present) where time stands still, where space surrounds me, where I swim in the flow of conscious awareness. Right Now is the Holy Moment where God can be heard.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LISTEN!

Racing my Bike and Loving It!

I have been having so much fun riding cycle cross. I have participated in 4 races so far this season and I am sort of getting the hang of it. At this weekend's race in Prunedale (I didn't come in last) and that was so awesome!

I started riding a bike because it is my husbands passion and I wanted to share that passion with him. The great thing is that I really love it! Being able to share this with him has given us so much joy, it's like we are dating all over again. He is always there cheering me on, and yelling out riding tips that I don't understand.

This last race we did in Prunedale I could hear him yelling out, "get in a bigger gear"! I'm thinking, does that mean a harder or an easier gear??? Then I was confused and in pain at the same time. I haven't quite got the lingo down yet, but I am sure I will soon.....I hope!

Anyway-I don't care much about winning, but I do love to challenge myself. I love to get out and see what my body can do. I love the wonderful people we meet. I have had so much fun with all the ladies, everyone is out there having fun and cheering each other on. Most important, I love sharing this wonderful sport with my honey!

Yikes it's time for Cyclecross!

I suck less at it this year, and I am having a lot of fun. Today was my second race and this time I didn't fall or come in last....yea me! My lovely husband cheered me on as I hyperventilated around the course several times. I like the course at Roberson Park except for those dam stairs (I Hate the Stairs, I Hate the Stairs) and the sand sort of sucks too, but at least I didn't fall in it this time.

I could hear Ron giving me pointers from across the field when I hit the sand pit, "Carry your bike, carry your bike" he yelled. "You carry my friggen bike" I said to myself as I huffed through the sand, and I guess I said it loud enough for people to hear because the guy next to me laughed. I could hardly get my feet to work in that stupid sand pit and I wasn't about to try to carry my bike through it!

The good news is that last week I placed 8th and was the last to come over the line, but today I placed 5th and I wasn't the last to finish. So today was a good day for me. I am also very thankful to have had my family and friends there to cheer me on, it gave me that little extra something to keep me going.

Thanks For Cheering for Me Guys!

A special thanks to my best mate and lovely husband for all the support....for making my bike lighter, and better to handle. For cheering me on even when I suck, and for helping me to be the best that I can be on my bike and in my life.

THANKS BABE...I LOVE YOU!
