Thanks for sharing your glorious sunrise and brilliant instruction & energy today. The sea birds sounded like they had a swell time watching. Happy Wednesday, everyone. Live long, and prosper.

@Ted Colclough Ted, I'm awe-struck by the delicious majesty of the openness of your neighborhood. Thank you so much for the share. Bravo!

Drew, heartfelt congratulations on reaching this marvelous milestone of guiding people to move, heal, and keep showing up— through cranky backs, stiff knees, busy schedules, travel days, and all the excuses that try to sneak in. What you offer is far more than exercise. You help people remember their own strength. Your generosity, humor, patience, and realness makes everyone want to return again and again. You’ve created a community where people feel encouraged, welcomed, and stronger than they realized. I’m deeply grateful I stumbled into your world, and this tribe of good-hearted movers. Thank you for the steady light you bring each day. One hundred days of devotion is no small thing. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment.” You embody that spirit, Drew. You prove that consistency can be joyful, discipline can be kind, and showing up for ourselves can become a form of prayer in motion.

@Drew HopperI discovered you on YouTube mid-January, 2024... and my body and I have never felt as buoyant and flexible and happy as it has since discovering you. Thanks, Drew. Shine on!

@Ted Colclough You made me smile mentioning that you’re reading Paulo Coelho. Funny timing— just the other day, a friend who’s deep into de-cluttering handed me her copies of The Pilgrimage and The Alchemist. (While some people pass along extra lamps and casserole dishes, she leans towards gifting spiritual quests.) I haven’t read any of his books yet, but I’ve come across many wonderful passages from different titles over the years. Every time, I’ve gotten transported into exotic curious inner and outer landscapes we don’t visit often enough. The man can definitely turn a phrase. Inspiring stuff. Sheryl told me his books are best enjoyed in order, beginning with The Pilgrimage (1987) and then The Alchemist (1988). You're doing it the suggested way. She says the later titles are well worth the journey too—By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Veronika Decides to Die, Eleven Minutes, and more recently The Archer. I’m especially intrigued by The Archer. It’s a short parable about a retired master archer named Tetsuya who teaches a young boy the way of the bow. Naturally, it turns into a meditation on purpose, courage, discipline, risk, and bringing soul into action. In other words, it sounds like the kind of slim little book that quietly rearranges your furniture inside. I’m not sure if Drew has read any Coelho, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Sorry to bend your ear. Keep your reading glasses clean.

@Katina Bauerle Hi, Katina~ I’m a bonsai fan, but have never grown-up with nor lived with a bonzai before. In anticipation of future bonzai-ing, I’m collecting scissors and tools now, and collecting various soil samples and products. • My favorite video teacher is Adam of Notion Bonzai, who's created a prolific DIY how to-site. • I’m including a link to the famous Heron Gardens tour led by the young Scottish author. Quite the dreamy place: Herons Gardens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Vv9UTgcbc&t=381s

@Frances Anne A brand new day awaits.

@Lisa DuBois Safe journey. (Where in Colorado do you live, Lisa?)

’Tis a pleasure and privilege to move everyday with you. Today’s side bends had me squirming and smiling. Ahhhhh. Thanks for the morning motivation. "The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep." ~ Rumi

@Kris Lmehlow Great story, Kris! (I, too, enjoyed playing in the garden beds today. And, since Drew and Everyday Energy entered my life, I now reach and squat and twist and bend better than ever before.)
