Go wings, eat your big apples June 13, 2009
I arrived in Detroit on the day of game 7 of hockey playoffs 6/12/09. The Pittsburgh penguins won but my dads neighbor still shot off some loud firework that sounded like a cannon being fired in front of the house. It was good to be home. Breakfast for 3 for $10 and dinner for 4 for $20. Nice when compared to California prices.
When traveling bean and cheese burritos are key. Why do we live in a culture in which parents have to buy name brand cereal? I love how parents do the big switch out, buy no name and switch boxes and kids don’t know. I typed this as I grocery shopped with my mom. I heart my new iPhone 
It seems this little website blog is becoming some sort of travel log and gratitude journal. So it goes.
Below are from my trip to the dirty D and the big apple. I spent about a week in midtown Manhattan hosting another training & consulting event for clients of the MINDBODY software system. I really enjoy teaching large groups of people, it’s so fun, engaging, and challenging in just the right amount. Not that I don’t enjoy working with people in a one-on-one basis, it’s just a little more energy, that dance of teaching a group that I love. This group we worked with had a great dynamic and energy, everyone was really excited and positive about what they can do to grow their wellness businesses during uncertain economic times. Go yogis!
I stopped in Detroit to visit family before heading to New York. It was a tiring 9 days of travel, but I practiced yoga and meditated a fair amount and it’s amazing how much better it made me feel. I spent time with loved ones who’ve had rough times and experienced a lot of pain lately and I realized how blessed I am to have such great people who love me, even if I live so far from them and don’t get to see them often. I enjoyed greek food and saganaki (oopa!), live music, old friends, driving around my old hood, hearing old stories, great food in nyc, everything nyc, visiting ellis island and brooklyn, and finally just chillaxing in my hotel room.
