TURBO KICK... and a Note from Rach.

TURBO KICK...

The 2nd Annual Turbo Kick Event was AMAZING (minus the sore muscles the following day...it may have helped if I had been physically active prior to 90 mins. of Turbo Kicking...)

The event would not have been possible without many...

Thank you to Jackie for her efforts and willingness to bring this group together.  To the YMCA for welcoming Team Vogel and allowing us to use their space.  All the instructors who donated their time and shared their talents with us - Denise, Norma, Trish, Lisa, Kelly and Jackie - THANK YOU!  And to everyone who attended.  Thank you for taking the time to come and join Team Vogel.

And what would a follow-up event note be without pictures...

...I selected this photo of the back-row group (the ones who may have spent more time trying to figure out how to perform the move than actually doing it) for we were all on task. A MIRACLE!

Thank you again to all the instructors - Norma, Trish, Jackie, Kelly, Lisa and Denise.

...And just for the record, some pictures did not make the blog :).  Although I threw my mother under the bus with the yoga story, I couldn't throw her under the bus with her photos from the event...there were just as many "blackmail" ones of me :).

and a Note from Rach.

As I sit here typing up the blog post, I have been questioning if I should share my point to ponder today...  Without better guidance (anyone sitting near me to ask / run this past), I am going to share this with you.

So here is your warning - if you have a weak stomach...Please skip this next portion.

Mr. Joe Vogel was a man who talked a good poop game.  Family dinners - jokes - his life - you name it.  Poop always came up.

This past weekend I was reading a book and this point to ponder was in it.  Would you rather eat a piece of poop that tastes like chocolate or would you rather eat chocolate that tastes like poop?

Something to think about...

Hugs - Rach

Rachel-

I love your ponder, you and your family! Amazing perspective, sense of humor and great love of life. What an amazing event and continued testament of Paying it Forward.

So blessed to have you in my life.

Hugs back at you -

Great post Rachel! I would rather eat chocolate that tastes like poop. That way you know it still has antioxidants in it. Especially dark chocolate.

You crack me up. The timing of this is hilarious since I just got a note from my son's teacher asked me to talk to him about his inappropriate use of the words poop and butt. n Happy to see there are places (including "Deep Thoughts by Rachel Vogel") when it would be not only appropriate but welcomed. Thanks for the laugh. And the pondering.

So many typos. Embarrassing. Well, at least I spelled poop right. :)

I wish I could say I've made a decision on what I would do...But I have not. I keep thinking about it and can justify why I would do both - which may be more scary, for I should be justifying why I wouldn't do either of them :).

Barb - Do not worry about your son. Although there are appropriate times to discuss poop (and butts) - the one man I knew who spoke very openly and humorously about both was an amazing person! (and your son will be too!)
