Thursday Dare: Anything is Possible

I just found out that friend and running/swimming/biking extraordinaire, Yuko, took fifth overall at her first ever triathlon in Hawaii. Yes, you heard me right...first triathlon. Not only that, but she had only begun training this past year! Ten mile runs across the Golden Gate Bridge at 5am could only be pursued with the purest of intentions. And I'm sure it was her belief and passion that carried her across the finish line and well beyond her expectations. Congrats Yuko--you rock!!

So naturally, my Thursday dare is to be inspired. Having a few doubts about something? Cut it loose--it's time to go outside your comfort zone and reach for something you can believe in.

Father's Day Dare

Don't you love these photos of our beaming, proud "new dad" customers? While our boutique and studio still attest to having the best and brightest customers around (er...no bias here!), I wanted to post these up since Father's Day is fast approaching. Here's a reminder that our dear ol' dads were smiling ear to ear right from the day we were born. Always there to help with homework, the one to silently pack up strollers, lug suitcases on vacations and give advice on worldly matters, it's always nice to commemorate their efforts and give them some superhero status. Which leads me to this week's dare...

Father's Day Dare: I know you probably have a great golf video already picked out, but how about accompanying it with a card or letter with a list of reasons why Pop is your superhero? I don't know about you, but my dad lives to retell old, embarrassing memories of when we were his wild monkey children. Even if it's a phone call to go down memory lane, a little bit of that will go a long way!
