Hey there, My Beautiful Friends! I hope you are wonderful!

On my 50th birthday, Kevin gave me a BOTE Stand Up Paddle Board. Her name is Breeze. Life kept happening and I wasn’t able to get her to the water until yesterday. Yep, it’s been two years, Y’all!

Kevin & I met my friend, Nancy, at her place on the Elk River. We both had nervous energy, but we were determined. Kevin was Awesome with helping us get our boards to the water and safely in. 

A few necessaries for this New Adventure On My SUPB:

Sunscreen – Check 

Life Vests – Check

Ankle Tethers – Check

Water Shoes – Uhhhh… Nancy saved me on this one! Thanks, Sister! – Check

Paddles & SUPBs – Check 

Adventurous & Make! It! Count! Attitude – Check

We started out on our bums and then made it to our knees. Check out Nancy’s face and her thumb’s up. Does it look like maybe she’s wondering what in the world she had waded into with me. 😉 

We eventually both made it to our feet! Mountain Pose on a SUPB, Baby!!!!

I got a little more adventurous with a couple Cat/Cows, Down Face Dog and Three-Leg Down Face Dog. Kevin didn’t get my Cat/Cows. He said he thought I was getting sick. LOL!!! 

It was fascinating how practicing poses on my yoga mat translated to the SUPB. It was also mind-blowing to notice how the practice of breath & life off the mat also translated to Breeze. I teach this thought every day, but being vulnerable to the water offered a little more clarity I guess. 

My New Adventure on my SUPB reminded me that if I choose to slow down my thoughts, my breath and my body will always follow.

I’m happy to report that Nancy & I both managed to stay top-side on our SUPBs! We left with full, grateful hearts and ready to plan our next SUPB Adventure! Stay tuned for more New Adventures!!

Until next time… I’m sending love & hugs to You. Now let’s go Make! It! Count!
