Wow!

not be more excited. Just a reminder that our
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony/Grand

this wonderful "home base" of
TF! The winter schedule is now

of pre-registration to secure
your spot and this time of the
year it is even more important).
The year is nearly over.
Don't miss this month's feature
article, Two-Minute Warning.

The
Two Minute Warning
|
 I
will remember this year
forever. Back in
January, I planned for 2010
to be a year of IMPACT and
boy, oh boy, what a
wonderful journey it has
been. When
December 15th
arrives on the calendar,
it's like hearing the
two-minute warning on a game
field.
My friend,
the two-minute warning has
been sounded for 2010.
With just moments left on
the calendar, the end is
clearly in sight. Now's
the time to focus and
finish strong! As Dan
Green, author of Finish Strong
and founder of Simple
Truths, has said, "When you
combine 'Finish' with
'Strong' you create a
powerful platform for action. WOW! So finish the
last moments of 2010 strong
and give it all you've got.
- Set daily
and weekly goals. You
should have a "Top 10" for
your week and a "Top 10" for
your day. What are the 10 big
things you MUST do this week
to make it a successful week
and what are the 10 most
important things you can do
today to make it a winning
day? You know what they say
about goals... The most
important part is setting
them.
- Journal.
The process of writing creates
clarity. It's that simple.
It's amazing the clarity of
mind I get from simply writing
down my thoughts. No typing -
I'm talking about investing in
an actual journal or notebook
and picking up a pen. What
am I grateful for? What are
my intentions for the day?
What is my energy going to
be like today? What went
well today? What didn't go
well today? What lessons did
I learn today? As
little as ten minutes a day
can make a profound difference
in energy, mood, and
awareness.
- Finish
strong. What if your
entire year was determined by
the last week? Most of the
population cruises into the
end of the year in "survival
mode." Say no to cruise
control and finish the year
strong. It's a decision - a
decision to put your foot on
the accelerator and go full
speed ahead. High achievers
never stop early. Runners
increase speed near the finish
line. What would your strong
finish look like?
There is much to
celebrate in these last
moments of the year. Celebrate
you. Celebrate health.
Celebrate love. Celebrate
life. Finish strong in
2010. Go for gold. Go for
IMPACT.

support of this objective, this
annual event will include events
for the adult physically fit

designed to promote physical
fitness in children and support
the active lifestyle for
seniors. Proceeds generated
from the event will be returned
to the community through grants
to civic and philanthropic
organizations of Macomb County
in support of healthy living
education and physical fitness.
