A lesson from a lion
When I was growing up the “Wizard of Oz” movie absolutely terrified me. TERRIFIED. Those horrible monkeys and that witch! How could anyone think this was a movie for children?!

Did December fly by for you? It certainly did for me. Last year around this time I went back to my Kosama gym after being gone 20 days. If you go regularly to a gym and had to stop for any reason then you know how hard it is to get back in the swing […]
