#158: October Blossom (Friday, January 8)

A few years ago, I walked into a Pilates class at the Y and was greeted by a pleasant face, great smile and an amazing body. My first thought was, "She's definitely not from around here." LOL. My second thought was, "I want a body like hers."

That was my introduction to Cicely Carew. Over the course of the next year, I came close...darn close to getting the amazing body. I was seriously in the best shape of my life. My body was lean, I had great posture and I felt great after taking her class.

Unfortunately, we didn't really form a friendship until shortly before Cicely decided to move back to the West Coast. And it was only after she moved, I learned that her true passion and talent was art (even though I think she's the best Pilates instructor I've ever had).

So, without further ado, check out Cicely Carew the artist at www.cicelycarew.com and commission some artwork if you like what you see (October Bloom and 1am are two of my favorites), then when you're done, mosey over to http://www.groundedpowerhouse.info/ to see how she can get your body amazingly fit. If you live in LA you can catch her yoga and pilates classes at Crunch, KOR, the Pilates Lounge and Mind 2 Body Studio.

Here's to being excellent!
