A Couple Minutes of Your Time Could Make a Difference

As mentioned in previous posts, one of our favorite Dukan Bloggers is Sandi over at Flamidwyfe.   She's quite an inspiration to anyone setting out to lose weight...whether you're following the Dukan Diet or some other diet.  We enjoy reading her blog...she should really write a book about her Dukan experience!

A good majority of her posts are extremely positive and you can't help but think, man, that's the way to enjoy every minute of your life...to be open minded, open hearted and to not be afraid to try new things.  Although we don't always have time to jump on the computer, we always save all her posts and read them the soonest we can.

Today is a busy busy day for us but sitting in my email box was an email notification from Flamidwyfe's blog entitled "My Granddaughter Celeste Alena".  We opened the email to do a quick read through which is what we usually do.  Then we read it again, wow...if you have a couple minutes to spare, please read Sandi's post.

We've already voted for Celeste and we will be voting every day.  We hope she and her family win the van!

A Great Way to Get In Some Exercise

For the past few months we've been trying to get out more, hiking, exploring...even during our vacations. It's a great way to get some exercise and see some amazing sights.   We always take our cameras along...photography is actually what brought us together :-)

We believe a lot of you are already following Flamidwyfe's blog, but just in case you aren't, Flamidwyfe also does a lot of hiking and day trips and check our her blog post on Taoguang Temple near West Lake in Hangzou!  Awesome photos :-)  Photos are a great way to see the world through someone else's eyes.  We often comment on getting our nephews inexpensive digital cameras, encouraging them to take photos (as in give them photo assignments) and cataloging them...it's always fun to see what they end up photographing.

Here are some of Flamidwyfe's photos (you can see all of her photos here)...sharing them because we love them, one of us is part Chinese and has never been to the "mother land"...so this is a great way of seeing part of China!

Zumba is fun and great exercise...but exploring with a camera in hand is priceless!
