The Gnarly Health and Fitness Challenge is official

I want to start this challenge with a word of appreciation. - Thank you for being a part of this experience! Having you involved in this challenge not only motivates me, but also holds me and others accountable, and it builds community. My hope is that by doing this our communities and world becomes a healthier place. We all have the potential to shine a little light for others to also reach their goals.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
