I love love love this woman. She and I worked together at Word Made Flesh for about four years. We were neighbors in the office and at home in our apartments. Daphne is also a part of a lovely yogurt company, del marie, in Omaha. If you're in Omaha and haven't tried it out, you need to, it's an order. Check out her list of 31 things.
I love love love the listening to your body parts!!!!!! (PS We got Caleb to do a round of stair running yesterday)

5. Do my planks.
6. Run 1 mile without stopping.
7. Ride my bike for transport one day a week.
8. Listen to the stomachache. What does it say? Write it down.
9. Listen to my desire to eat more. Am I really hungry? Write it down.

11. Say a nice thing to myself each day.
