Dateline: April 2016…..Six months ago, after a hiatus from Sally, the challenge that started THPL, came alive and with it a new goal – do the Sally pushup challenge every night for six months. Get to the end of Sally 183 days in a row. No excuses, the challenge said, you cannot be too tired, cannot be disinterested, cannot be afraid of the pain. And so it began…. As hard as ever, that 3:26 minutes feeling like an eternity….every time. Over the six months it became consistent and at the same time each day was hard. The challenge not published made it just that much more interesting. No peer or public pressure to keep me going. Every day knowing that no one would know if I met Sally or not. Just the challenge between me and my mind – a look deep inside every night – would I continue. And each night, especially on those times when it just seemed too difficult to do the challenge, I asked the simple question – why would I not do it? And I never came up with a “legitimate” reason not to go right back at Sally. The test of the soul exercised with a simple question. And so it was, Sally stayed and did not leave. She showed me that the body was ready, and the mind who follow once the soul ignited the path forward,

Loving life with Sally by my side
