Are You Living It?

My eyelids had descended halfway, almost completely shuttering out the light coming from the television in our rental studio apartment … it was all meaningless flash and noise, a good reminder of why we don’t have cable at home. That’s when Laurel elbowed me. It was for two reasons: first, to tell me I had begun to snore (which I denied like I always do) and secondly to tell me to wake up and “look at this.” She dropped an open magazine in my lap.

“This” was a story about April Bowling, a triathlete and mother of two, whose transformation from out-of-shape to elite athlete was enough to compel Shape magazine to profile her success for its readers.

I love reading stories about people who fully embody our “Live Your Passion” message and wasted no time Google-ing April’s name… I found her blog, and asked if she would want to share her content with us here at Are You Living It? The rest is history. (Okay, there was a little bit of back and forth… enough for me to assure April that this wasn’t a pyramid marketing scheme).

We couldn’t be happier to bring April’s posts onto the site here. Her story and commitment are inspiring. Welcome, April!
