I’m a Snowboarder. This is my beloved board.

Trust your feet.

A life lesson learned on my snowboard.

When riding, all my focus must be in my feet, through my board. They must read the condition of the snow, the iciness, the groomed or the powder, the small piles that are constantly being rearranged by fellow snow enthusiasts and beginners alike.

The dynamic movements of my body are responses to the information received through my feet. On every run and through every turn.

The minute I catch myself thinking about something else … boom. Down I go.

Trust your feet.

This lesson applies off the slopes too.

It’s about listening, closely, to intuition.

It’s about taking it all in, carefully, so that I can respond with skill and not be knocked on my ass, not be knocked off center.

It’s about training one-pointed attention. What could I accomplish if I focused this way in other areas of my life?

Trust your feet.

It’s about being able to stand confidently in my own truth.

I see my path laid out before me and know that if I trust,

I will make it thru without falter or injury.
