The power of a personal mantra.

by

It's the holiday season. It's misfit moving season. Im doing ok. Im actually---dare I say it type it out loud---doing pretty damn great. I credit 93.7 % of that to my person mantra. You may think me crazy should you spy me muttering to myself on the street---but I reassure you Im not (any more than usual anyway). Im chanting.  Im harnessing the power of the mantra. Im ...

My social media love story.

by

We've chatted about how EXHAUSTING and depleting social media can be. We text, email, phone-chat, face book discuss and tweet about how it is simply impossible to have it all and how we're all a weetad WIPED from the attempt. Today, however, we're getting all kinds of thankful for Thanksgiving & focusing on the *social* side of social media. Ive been truly engaged online for only a ... Continue Reading

MIZFIT SKIRT GIVEAWAY!

by

Miz, I want to buy a skirt and give it away anonymously.  On your blog.  It's the notion of paying a favor not back, but forward.  I do this monthly as it supports my spirituality/who I am and watching the momentum it sparks is amazing.  I believe in your MizFit angel network. I received this email the day I announced my Miz skirts were for sale (links added by me). My initial reaction was to ... Continue Reading

The lies we tell ourselves.

by

Ive been thinking a lot recently about the lies we tell ourselves and the various ways said fibs can work for us. Ive already shared how I think fabrication in the name of COSTUMING can be healthy. We all know the healthy living lies which serve to sabotage our efforts (eating while standing at the fridge doesnt count. birthday cakes are always calorie free.). Lately, with the Bay Area ...

Misfit family yoga

by

About five weeks ago I was lolling about and chatting at the gym working out intensely at my Lifetime fitness when I spied a flier announcing a family yoga workshop. I read. I committed. I tweeted. So excited for the FAMILY YOGA workshop @lifetimefitness #lifetimefitsme twitter.com/MizFitOnline/s… — carla birnberg (@MizFitOnline) September 27, 2012 (here is where I point out this is NOT ...

  The day after Halloween I was obsessing about my MOVE & pacing in front of the ON! SALE candy standing in a long grocery line when I spied a tweet.

Im moving…

by

(yes to carlabirnberg.com but that MONUMENTAL SHIFT shall come in 2013.) The move to which I refer is away from my beloved ATX and onward & NORTHWARD to the bay area in California. (Or is it Bay Area? See? Im already behind in the vernacular!) The move to which I refer has absolutely zero impact on my blog and yet even just sharing on a few social media platforms Ive been touch by how ... Continue Reading

Today we are paying our rent.

by

In light of all the Hurricane Sandy devastation Ive bumped today's MizFit skirt giveaway post to next week. The Tornado & I spent last night chatting about doing unto others & thats 100% where my head is right now.   The Tornado & I frequently talk about giving, volunteering, & the importance of doing unto others. While I've made the conscious choice to say as little as ... Continue Reading

SOCIAL MEDIA EXHAUSTION.

by

  Back in the dark ages, when I first started blogging, there existed not much social media. I was hired to write an 'online journal' for a now defunct site called MUSCLE JOURNAL (started by this guy). And that's all I had to do: write. Seriously. My assignment was to "live and write about it." Very simple. Very easy. Very fun. On top of it all, unlike the magazine or newspaper ... Continue Reading

The RETURN of the pink gloves.

by

There's no school today and, as a result, my plan was to LIVE *not* blog about life. That's still the plan, however, I had to share the happy-fact the pink gloves spontaneously returned. Wholly out of the blue. As in I had no idea she knew where they were. And, as with all things age six, Im all too aware this is most likely fleeting. Ephemeral. Im off to enjoy them as long as ...
