Dear Readers and Mathletes - I feel like I spend a lot of time apologizing to you for failing to keep up with my blog, but here I am again, apologizing for being away from you for the last two weeks! To be fair, I was away on a much needed vacation south of the boarder. Given the ridiculous amount of money you have to pay for data services in the US, it wasn't likely that I was going to keep up anyway - of course the amount of money I lost at the poker table would have paid plenty.
I am going to keep today's blog short(er) as my work life is nearly unmanageable this week, but I wanted to share something with you. First of all, props and big shout out to Jo, of Jo Dumont Fitness Training (www.jodumontfitnesstraining.com) who has joined the ranks of the bloggers. Check her out at http://jdft.blogspot.com.
The reason I point out Jo's blog is that it is probably one of the best blogs that I have read to date. At first I thought it was because I know Jo and might still be girl crushing on her, but the more I think about it, I think it's because in her blog, Jo opens the doors and makes herself vulnerable. For a long time I have viewed Jo in awe of all the things she does, how she manages her life, her children, her business and while Jo is still tremendous at all these things, her blog identifies some of her true feelings, guilts, and fears - and I realize that we aren't so very different. That we share many of the same guilty feelings about raising children, worry about paying bills, wanting our life to work out in spite of every possible obstacle known to man being thrown up in front of us...We just never talk about those things out loud.
If it's possible, I respect Jo more today than I did yesterday.
