A DAY WITH CESAR MILLAN!



... and what a day it was! I had the unbelievable opportunity to spend some time with Cesar Millan a few weeks ago and what an experience it was! I volunteer for a wonderful organization called K9 Connection and was lucky enough to be invited along with the group to meet Cesar. K9 Connection goes into local shelters, rescues pound doggies, and brings them into schools to work with at risk teens for a 3 week period. (to learn more go to K9connection.org)

Listening to Cesar speak to these young people was a thrill. He had a lot to say about his pack of dogs that really translated into our world as well. He spoke a lot about not living and dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. He told us that we should not feel sorry for what the dogs have had happen to them in the past but to focus on the NOW. Dogs can't remember the past they only deal with what is right in front of them in the moment. He also explained his beliefs about ENERGY. What we put out to the dogs they give us back. If we are all excited and frantic the dogs will respond to that. If we are calm, they will be calm. The same with people. What energy we put out we will get back.

You can catch Cesar's show "The Dog Whisperer" on almost any night. Watch out though, you'll get hooked!

Team Riley COVERage in Triathlete Magazine



Here it is, Estella Warren on the cover of Triathlete Magazine, looking stunning (a given) and sporty in her Team Riley gear!

We're all thrilled with how the article turned out - Triathlete Magazine mentioned it's one of their hottest covers ever!





Tri Mag was also cool enough to let me bring my bitchin crew to the shoot, Christine and Anna here with Estella and me in this tough-looking girl-power shot.



Endless appreciation to Estella for being such an amazing good sport about this, we had a ton of fun (not often one gets to pose with a super model!) and this is tremendous coverage for Team Riley.

Magazine hits the shelves any day now.....and the requests for Team Riley gear are coming in from all over the country. Coming in the future, a new line of Riley Ware, stay tuned!
