9.10.11 - Morning Yoga Class

At 9am Wendy and I took a Hatha yoga class with 200 other men and women. Our mats were lined up overlooking the sparkling Sarasota bay on the marble terrace of Ca d'Zan, the home of Mable and John Ringling. There was a brilliant blue, cloudless sky and a light breeze as we did our downward dog, mountain, cobra and warrior poses. Afterwards, feeling stretched, serene and reinvigorated, we sipped latte's in the cafe. A brilliant start to a brilliant day.

9.9.10 - Follow Your Heart

"Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. All external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
—Steve Jobs
