“I searched for God among the Christians and on the Cross and therein I found Him not. // I went into the ancient temples of idolatry; no trace of Him was there. // I entered the mountain cave of Hira and then went very far but God I found not. Then I directed my search to the Kaaba, the resort of old and young; God was not there. Finally, I looked into my own heart and there I saw Him; He was nowhere else.” -Rumi

After a quick pit stop in Los Angeles this week, I’m driving back to my grandmother’s in Utah tomorrow. On Saturday, we will make the drive north together to see my mom, who is in the hospital. I am grateful for all of your positive thoughts and prayers. Peace, Love, Lunges. —Sam

My mom was hospitalized last Friday, and we are in Utah. Thank you for all of your love and support in my mother’s heroic battle with cancer. Please bear with me as the posts may be a bit slower than usual. Peace, Love, Lunges… -Sam

So excited about the opening of Veggie Grill, which opens doors September 29 just downstairs from my home gym, Crunch Los Angeles.  Can you say post-workout protein?
