Once again I find myself unable to move my arms and needing to type by using a pencil in my mouth. I should not feel the burn in my hands and arms when I type. I think I just got out of breath typing that sentence. This last sentence hurt as well, but it was worth it. The in-house Crossfit competition at my friends gym was such a fantastic experience. Because I am such a turtle I have never wanted to do a competition. Thankfully we were in teams of four, and what I lacked in speed, I made up for in strength and in the end we won all three rounds and came in first place. YAY!! First place! Sweet. I learned a valuable lesson in this competition, because it’s all worth it if you learn a valuable lesson. What I learned was that a straw is not only good for sipping your coffee when the cup is too heavy to hold, but is also great for typing as well? Just keep that in mind the next time you do a Crossfit competition.

Charlie: A Love Story
Barbara Lampert
Genre: Crafts, Hobbies & Home
FREE for a limited time
“Charlie’s a big dog, not just physically but in every way. He has a big heart, a big smile, lots of courage, a big appetite, and a great, big, generous spirit. Charlie’s the emotional core of our family, the most solid being I have ever known, and wise beyond his years. Charlie and me. It’s a great love affair, a once-in-a-lifetime connection.”
‘Charlie: A Love Story’ tells of the beautiful love between Charlie, a Golden Retriever, and the author, Barbara Lampert. It takes place in Malibu, California. When Charlie turned eleven years old and started having some health problems, a journal Barbara was keeping about her garden quickly became mostly about Charlie. Because it emerged out of Barbara’s gardening journal, Charlie’s story developed against a background of her gardening activities and images of her extensive cottage garden. And because it is in journal form, ‘Charlie: A Love Story’ is told while it is happening and is mostly uncensored, providing an intimate look at the bond between Charlie and Barbara, an incredible connection between a canine and a human. And as a psychotherapist who specializes in relationships, Barbara brings that sensibility and understanding to Charlie’s story as well. Charlie was Barbara’s loyal confidante and best friend. He was indomitable, had a zest for life and an uncanny emotional intelligence. As Barbara says in her book:”Charlie’s a big dog, not just physically but in every way. He has a big heart, a big smile, lots of courage, a big appetite, and a great, big, generous spirit. Charlie’s the emotional core of our family, the most solid being I have ever known, and wise beyond his years. Charlie and me. It’s a great love affair, a once-in-a-lifetime connection.” ‘Charlie: A Love Story’ is about devotion, joy, loss, and renewal, about never giving up or giving in. But mostly it’s about an extraordinary dog and an extraordinary relationship.
