This is my third week working at the moutain biking camp and I am learning much on human behavior. Specifically its tough being the only woman in an all male environment.
I am learning that I have come a long way in the last 10 years. I feel like I am truly discovering my inner goddess. The goddess archetypes each have their own "power" and strengths. Some women fit into one specific archetype, while I think I am many combinations. A little Hera, a little Athena, a little Hestia to name a few...
I empower them when I need them to help me focus and find my way.

My first two weeks of July
Well it has been an interesting couple of weeks so far. I have been working at the La Rocca XC Mountain Bike Camp for Boys 12-16
I am the administrative assistant at the camp, in charge of paper, money and all things in between. I also ride with the boys.
I have to say, biking with those guys is tough! They have the ability to take off quick, but lack endurance, so I have to wait until they settle down.
Friday the 13th, I fell on my face. Nice fat lip. But it was a wonderful crazy ride in the rain. The skies opened and the boys cheered. Normally I probably would have sprinted for cover, but the sight of their joy inspired me, and I just biked behind them, just making sure they are safe. So because i didn't really focus on my ride, i lost control of the bike and down I went. Fortunately, I was wearing my glasses.
As it turns out, registration for the camp this year is low, so my hours will be reduced in August to half days three times a week. That is ok. I believe the Universe will have something new in store for me. I look forward to seeing what she will bring me.
As for racing, my next race is the Camp Fortune Q-cup and Massic Q-cup in August. I am focusing on improving skills and fitness for the next month doing some longer hard rides.
Many clients are travelling or taking the summer off, as is typical for this time of year. It allows me to plan for the fall, and develop new programming for Day by Day.
and finally, as for my little kitty, I had been so busy, that I didn't have time to be sad. My husband has been wonderful by making us go out for walks, so that I didn't notice the quiet in the house. I still miss her but I don't feel as sad.
be well!
