Looking for a simple way to de-stress? Come sit with us!
This month our focus is gratitude. I guide you through about 45 minutes of breathwork and mindfulness. No meditation experience needed.
See you Saturday!

Tom Kha Gai is one of my favorite soups. Spicy, savory and rich with coconut milk this winter soup will warm your bones.
Cooking for vegetarians? Sub veggie stock for the chicken stock and add veggies (celery, carrots, potatoes…) instead of chicken. This recipe is pretty forgiving so feel free to experiment.
1. Bring chicken broth, coconut milk, dried chilies, ginger, lemongrass (and any additional veggies) to a boil. Simmer for ten minutes.
2. Add sliced chicken breast and cook for two minutes.
3. Add mushrooms, fish sauce, brown sugar and lime juice, and stir to combine.
4. Ladle soup into bowls. Add green onions, cilantro and red peppers (this recipe should make four large servings).
5. Enjoy!
We took a little break for September, but our live interviews are back baby!
I’m super excited to chat with musician Lisa Mann. I first saw her perform live at the Waterfront Blues Festival. She knocked my socks off and I’ve been following her ever since. She has a new album out (click here to pick yours up today – you can choose an actual CD, streaming or downloadable audio file).
Watch the recording of our interview to learn how she got her start, the story behind the “monkey” song on her new album, and what she’s been up to during the pandemic.

I’d love to hear how this week went for you. If you didn’t make our live wrap meeting last weekend, call or email me and let me know what was challenging, what felt easy, and if (or how) you plan to continue your daily gratitude practice.
I saved your email responses from last week, and Heather used your words to create this word cloud. Thanks Heather!
If you would like to dive deeper into self care, positive change, and healthy movement, set up a consultation with me this week! We will discuss your goals, how you are eating, sleeping, and caring for yourself, and what a reasonable, actionable next step might be for you.
If healthy movement is part of your plan, and you find exercising more enjoyable when you meet with a group, we have a few spots available in the Monday 6 pm yoga class, and the Thursday 10 am R.O.S.S. class. If one on one personal training or coaching sessions are more your style, I have Wednesdays and Fridays at 2 pm available. For these one on ones, I ask you to commit to two months of twice weekly training sessions.
Anne McCranie is a Portland based personal trainer. She works with her clients one on one and in small groups to create a culture of healthy movement. Click here to read about her trademarked R.O.S.S. concept, and here for this Monthly Five.
