We like to move it outside by running, biking, etc, but lately we’ve been doing a lot of movin’ inside. T9 HQ has been getting a facelift over the past couple of months, so there’s been a lot of packing and moving as different parts of the building were overhauled.
Today is the big day where we’ll finally be moving into permanent spaces! Stay tuned for updated pics.
Coach a kid this fall or better yet, coach your own!
Yep, its back-to-school and that of course, also means back-to-sports. This fall when those volunteer, sign-up notices start to fill your inbox, I hope you’ll join me in trying your hand at coaching. Yes, I know snack duty is tempting and far less daunting. But imagine the impact if every kid’s mom volunteered to coach.
Our sons and daughters need to see us out on the sports field, they need to see us lead and they need to see how we lead, especially when we don’t quite know what we’re doing. I’d never played or coached soccer when I first started coaching, but I quickly discovered my big advantage… I am an adult and they are kids. After that, things got a whole lot easier.
In the end, I learned a lot about soccer, but I learned more about myself and found entrée into the Technicolor lives of a whole group of wonderful, now-teenagers.
So this fall, I hope you’ll join me on the field or court!

The second rendition of the Fitness Throwdown took place last week at our Home Office requiring the Distribution Center folks to travel for an away game.
There were three events: cup stacking, a relay race and ultimate jumping ball. The competition was fierce. Laughter filled the air along with a lot of fun, blood, sweat and tears.
The Distribution Center folks put forth tremedous heart, but at the end of the day the Home Office folks defended their title and walked away with the Throwdown trophy.
