Heh. Today I had a meeting with an awesome group of ladies who are in the "health and wellness" community. Linda (from Professional Tutors Network, whom I like because she uses movement to help educate kids – what a concept!) after hearing me speak about using a blog page to help the community tap into us a resource she commented that "[I] spoke a different language." I don’t remember exactly what I was saying, but I think we could piece it together from this fine list of terms. I thought it was hysterical! Thanks for giving me my own dialect of suburban gym owner english!!!!! 🙂
