Vision Board Party

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:08:48 +0000

I just did something inspiring that I had to share with all our swellblog readers. Last week I attended a Vision Board Party with 12 incredible ‘Swell Women’ at Jennifer Lynn’s (amazing yoga instructor) home in Kula, Maui. With tag boards, scissors, glue sticks and magazines in hand the 12 of us began creating and sharing our visions for 2010. The reason I want to share this with you? Don’t stop dreaming of the things you would like to see manifest in your life or life on earth or better yet glue those dreams on a poster board that you see everyday. I’m looking at mine now! If you should decide to host a Vision Board Event at your home, please let us know how it goes and send some pictures!

Spreading out our dreams.

Stephanie and Melissa with big smiles.

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:41:31 +0000

Although the shore break was a little pounding on Saturday, Jan. 9th, 2010, it didn’t stop the passion of over 300 women paddling for Breast Cancer at the Four Seasons Beach on Maui. Suzie Cooney the brain child of “Stand Up for Women’s Health and Fitness” and her partner Tom Callan, created an event like no other on Maui that included guest speakers, SUP (Stand Up Paddleboarding) lessons, gear, hula classes, raffle, group paddle and more. The free event was to promote breast cancer awareness along with the importance of staying fit and healthy. Thanks to Suzie and Tom for doing such an amazing job and putting on a top notch and organized event on Maui. If you would like to make a donation to Breast Cancer awareness, please visit Suzie’s website at http://www.standuppaddlingfitness.com/.
