Inspirational

Last Thursday, I had the privilege of attending a private screening of  BOX OF SALVATION. It is a documentary about Cheryl Nasso who overcame anorexia to become one of the top female Crossfit athletes in the world.

I've been doing Crossfit on and off for over a year.  Cheryl is one of the trainers at my "box".  She is an incredible athlete, a wonderful trainer and just an all-round good person.

With all the shit going on in my life and the world lately, I found watching this film about one woman's personal journey from the bottom of the abyss to the top of the world, very inspiring.

8th Avenue Studios is trying to get to some film festivals by raising money on Kickstarter.  I recently had someone do something very nice for me and I promised to pay it forward.  I did, thanks to some Etsy sales, by becoming a backer for Box of Salvation and by donating some money to a guide dog in training who's name is Nitebyrd. Take a look at the trailer to get an idea of who Cheryl is.  Thanks!

How WONDERFUL, Nitebyrd!!!!!

And I can't thank you enough for sharing this movie, because I know of someone who is struggling with anorexia, and will past this film on to her.

LOVED the clip!

X ya, Sis!

Very cool. I just got not nearly far enough into a library book called Spark about the relation between exercise and intelligence, and of course once your brains working right in one way a lot of other good things are going to go on in there, so it's a topic very much on my mind too these days.
