By: WEBER WAY TO WELLNESS REPORTER

CENTRAL FLORIDA—FALL 2023 Alicia Weber brings in her 10th Anniversary of her Archery Fitness League this year as tremendous records are set and new opportunities are on the horizon. She held a Garden Warrior Obstacle Archery Contest at Acres of Grace Farm on October 6th where 20 youth competitors tried their best to go as fast they could go and shoot one arrow for accuracy. Kids as young as 4 and upto 15 took part in the challenge. Future events will be available at Acres of Grace Farm for Alicia’s archery and running and conditioning programs. Alicia has been working with ages 6 to 14 in running and conditioning. In the past 2 years, all of her students achieved increased speed and endurance in just 4 HOURS of training (1 hour a week for 4 weeks). Their improvement rate has been 2-16 percent in just 4 hours. Contact Alicia at Awinningway@gmail.com to get in a program. You can also follow her on instagram.

Above Alicia performs her FIRST-EVER 7 Consecutive Day Challenge of the SAME Challenge. She pushes herself to keep improving each day with the 250 rep strict form routine with the goal of 4 minutes or faster.. She even surprised herself at her rate of improvement. She began on Day 1 with a time of 3:48.3. She ended in 3:25.2 on Day 7! This was performed August 7-13, 2023. The 7 day playlist is above – it starts with Day 1 and ends with Day 7.

Alicia started progressing on another Youtube viral challenge this year known as the 100 Mike Tyson Push-Up Challenge. Her playlist is above for this challenge. Some of the progressions are at Rumble. She made 5 attempts in 123 days from March 31, 2023 to July 31, 2023 and she went from taking 4:24 for the consecutive bout down to 3:14!! She dropped 1 minute and 10 seconds and improved by 27 percent in 123 days!!

Alicia has been working as a wellness and fitness professional for over 25 years! She has been known to be time-efficient and get clients massive results (just like she does for herself)!

Alicia launched her FIRST-EVER Podcast on her youtube channel at WeberWay2Wellness where she teaches people how to get in tune with their bodies for athletic and health success. She also reveals some of her inspirations and their great successes from learning how to get in tune with their bodies.

Alicia’s First Podcast came in 2023.

2023 has been a big year for Alicia – she has achieved now 202 career victories in sports and she has competed in 17 world championships! She did her best performance thus far at the SkiErg World Championship for 1k Sprints. She placed in the Top 17% of women in the world and in her fastest time of 4:19.3. 2023 marks her 5th consecutive year to compete in these world championships and it brought the most competition so far (751 female competitors).

Alicia began washing her hair ONLY with shampoo Ginger this year. In celebration for her new-found favorite natural shampoo that she grows – she broke a record and shows off her hair after a shampoo ginger hair wash.

Alicia was soooo excited to break this tough 3 medicine ball one minute push-up record! She has now taken the record to 71 reps in one minute!

The Weekend of October 21-22 was a Special One!! Alicia achieved her 202nd Career Victory (placing first among females in a 5k cross country race) AND breaking a record she has really been focusing on. She did 43 consecutive reps for the Feet on Wall Consecutive Push-Up Record.

ATTN: STRENGTH FEAT FANS…. Alicia made one of her most exciting, unpredictable productions thus far. It is a Halloween Thriller where Aussie Amanda gets a great chase and challenge in exercises and armwrestling by a much younger guy! The Exclusive Show is found at Videoteasing.com/amanda.htm

Here is a preview of the NEW Exclusive Show with Aussie Amanda.

Alicia’s most “on the edge” or adrenaline pumping record of 2023 came on 10/27/23. She was going for 15 minutes of consecutive shoulder-width grip pushups and had to be over 484 reps to break the record. She was able to muster out 493 reps to re-set it as she stayed strong and on target the last minute to just make it over the record!

Alicia is here breaking the 15 minutes of consecutive shoulder-width grip pushups here on 10/27/23.

Alicia loves her improv character comedy and Halloween!! She made her most dramatic Halloween improv comedy show thus far! She collected comedy material in 3 different cities in Central Florida and more in Calabassas, CA. This production is an improv comedy with no scripts.

https://youtu.be/VRVifRPdTAQ?si=y_pFIBk8C04hC4Od

One of Alicia’s favorite characters is “Sister Anita Man”. She performed in her show “Sister Anita Man Searches for New Nunnery After Incident”.

https://youtu.be/OLGQMHTDlNE?si=7aNVgtNTHqblwo6g

Alicia met up with Lancey Ace – video game world record holder. They did some training and a creative photo shoot. Lancey Ace holds video game world records at Recordsetter World Records and Guinness World Records. Check out their armwrestling training!

https://youtu.be/cCuRby_oLbo?si=Mu22klYfgz69_JpA
Alicia thought she reached her 45th world record for the year by 11/6/23, but to her surprise she broke a dozen world records in just this ONE consecutive bout of challenging plyometric plank exercise. She ended up reaching 55 world records so far for this year!! The full details are in the video description above.

Alicia was really excited to “earn her turkey” by doing one of her hardest and most arduous challenges of 2023. She then ate her turkey after completing the challenge. She made a Thanksgiving/Post Thanksgiving Aerobic Strength Series. See the video playlist above with 3 videos. These are ALL NEW challenges. The longest one was on Thanksgiving Thursday and the other two took place on the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving. They all involve Suicide Runs and Ring Chin-ups and/or Ring Dips.

Thank you fans for being a Big FAN! We wish everyone a wonderful Holiday Season from Alicia and her Clan of characters!

Alicia took a fabulous hiking/training/comedy trip to Bryce Canyon for a week. She enjoyed a lot of laughs and she had fun making some new comedy shows with her creative dad! She did some great, challenging run training at 7,700 – 8,300 feet and found it really paid off when she came back to sea level. First, STOP and cackle with her Bryce Canyon/Las Vegas comedy.

Earth Day 2023 Strength Records, Wild Spectators, and Tips for a Healthy Environment!

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

4/20/23 CENTRAL FLORIDA…Earth Day 2023 comes in with a pull up on a sixteen year old oak tree with some unique strength records, while attracting wild spectators! Alicia Weber who has set hundreds of pull-up world records, since 2009 “pulled out” a few more NEW pull-up records involving the commando aka cliffhanger pull-ups to celebrate Earth Month this April.

Question: How many wildlife spectators came out to watch Alicia set these Earth Day records?

Keep reading to find out…Plus get some tips for your garden!

Alicia wanted to set some new records that would require healthy, large, old trees – to inspire growing and keeping big trees! The first of two records involves maximum strength and in particular grip strength. She used a a tree branch with a minimum circumference of 10 inches. The first record is very tough because it involves slower pull-ups with full range of motion and the “mixed” commando style grip. Every rep starts in a dead hang full extension with strict form. Then, finishes on one side where the shoulder touches the tree branch (a pause) and then return to full extension (with another pause). Then, repeat on the other side and continue till failure. She did 16 reps of the Consecutive Shoulder-to-Shoulder dead stop Commando Pull-ups on the thick tree branch.

Consecutive Shoulder to Shoulder Dead Stop Commando Pull-ups on Thick Tree Branch

Alicia performed another record on the same tree branch (16 year old oak tree/10 inch circumference tree branch). This record is very challenging mixed commando pull-up grip L hang (hanging with legs straight and parallel to ground), but then she finishes with one leg raise. The timer ends when she returns to L position hang. She did 1:07 for this timed event.

Thick Tree Branch Mixed Grip Hanging leg L hold with Hanging Leg Raise Finisher

Finally, Alicia’s third and final Earth Day Record promotes outdoor fitness and going to an exercise trail. She gets in a great workout on the parallel bars. She uses the parallel bars and climbs 10ft by doing a side-to-side commando pull-up then moving her arms forward and repeating the pull-up. She completes the 10ft challenge in 25.6 seconds.

Moving side to side Commando pull-up 10ft Climb for time!

Alicia was happy to stretch her strength and creativity and do something special for Earth Month 2023. The wild animals were excited too – she had 5 total wild animal spectators that watched her do these feats! A cardinal sang a song, a wild Maine Coon (world’s largest cat breed) stopped by to pay a visit, and 3 Muscuvy Ducks walked over to Alicia after she completed her last feat (and ducks were NEVER chummy with her before!).

Below are a couple Tips to help your environment and gardens:

1.) Recycle your used egg shells by planting small plants in them (ex. Mother of Thousands). It helps give them nutrients. It also makes planting easy – just put the egg in a pot or in the ground. See Video here of Plants growing in egg shells.

2.) Save your coffee grounds and your egg shells to make a Natural Fertilizer. Grind your old egg shells and mix them with your leftover used coffee grounds. Then, sprinkle the Natural Fertilizer on your potted plants and outdoor gardens and watch your plants grow faster!

Thanks for Reading – Happy Earth Month

MOVING INTO MAY (Mother’s Day Weekend)…Alicia has set or broken 21 Recordsetter World Records so far this 2023! Alicia has now competed in 6 Sports in 15 World Championships (winning two of the world championships)! Below are more World Record videos for 2023.

Alicia talks about her 6 sports that she competed in for 15 World Championships as of Spring 2023!

On 4/4/23 Alicia broke a world record she has held. She did 45 plyometric bar dips in a row where her arms must extend and then go to at least 90 degrees adding a plyometric release into each rep.
Alicia broke the Recordsetter World Record, which was 2:08 for the Ipsilateral One Arm One Leg Plank. She went for 2:40 in her first try for Mother’s Day Weekend.
Alicia broke 2 world records in one attempt! She did the 100 Side Center Side Plank Jumps in 1 min (setting the most in one Minute AND fastest time to do 100 reps)!
Finally, Alicia broke her 4th World Record for Mother’s Day Weekend with 57 Side-to-Side Plank Jumps in one minute. She has to keep her feet held close together and jump wide to side and level with her hands. She now has 21 World Records for 2023 so far!

Alicia finally had time to catch up with her fans on all her 2023 adventures so far. We will start with the countdown on her 13 world records that she broke from Recordsetter, then we will talk about the races, and finally wild animals!

Alicia flew out of the starting blocks on Jan 1st like a sprinter and began attacking her own records that have been sitting around collecting dust for nearly 8 years now! She then engulfed some records that guys held or had bettered her – where she was coming to take them back!

https://youtu.be/AGp-dj9cSG8

WORD RECORD # 1 – Alicia totally smashed the consecutive 1 minute of Balance T Elevated Leg Pushups on 1/1/23 with 28 reps!

Alicia competed in her first major running race of the year on 2/4/23 on a hilly clay cross country course considered the hardest in Florida and one of the most challenging 5k races in US. She placed 2nd woman (5th overall) in a new best time. This is her third year to do race and third year to place 2nd woman overall. The following day on 2/5/23, Alicia did her first-ever feet against wall consecutive push-up challenge with 38 reps (two reps over the record set by a male). This would be her 8th world record.
WORLD RECORDS # 9 AND #10 – Alicia surprised herself and greatly improved these two world records in the 1 minute (22 reps) Balance T one arm elevated leg push-ups and 2mintues (40 reps) on 3/5/23.
WORLD RECORD # 11 – Alicia takes back a record that a male athlete bettered her in….she does 75 V Plank Jacks in 2 minutes on 3/31/23.
WORLD RECORDS #12 AND #13 – Alicia takes back more records where a male athlete bettered her….she now does 41 V Plank Jacks in a minute enroute to improving the 3 minute mark to 82 V Plank Jacks in 3 minutes on 3/31/23.

Alicia was excited to participate in The March 8th Worldwide International Women’s Day Challenge completing the same time as last year in the 5k indoor row race with 21:38 (currently ranked 53rd lightweight woman in world among verified results). Then, 10 minutes later – she competed in her first-ever 10k BikeErg race in a time of 23:13 and being ranked 63rd woman in world among verified results.

Two days later (3/10/23), Alicia switched to speed events and competed in the 1k indoor rowing sprint world championship placing 30th lightweight woman in the world. This is her 15th World Championship.

After 4 weeks of middle school distance running and sprint training – the middle school runners were able to compete in an unique and possibly world’s first-ever Cross Country Versatility Contest. The training and racing were created by Coach Alicia Weber. The coach also competed in the events and she did 12.6 seconds for the cross country 100 meter and approx 10 minutes later 5:32 for the cross country mile event. The “Versatility Contest” combines the 100 meter and mile events held back- to -back on soft cross country surface where athletes try to run their fastest times in both events. They are then scored by their finishing place. The lowest placing score wins “MOST VERSATILE”…Complete Results are at this link. The “Most Versatile” runner won both the 100 meter in 12.9 seconds and 1 mile in 6:47 – 13 year old Etienne!! The great news is that ALL runners ran personal bests in the 100 meter and the mile events. Some improved their mile times by 2 minutes!! It was a “runderful” and fun event for everyone!

FINALLY, we will talk about Florida wildlife. Alicia and her family have spring birthdays and they have a ritual of finding their birthday animals! They enjoy hiking and visiting animals either in the wild OR in zoos. They had 4 amazing experiences this spring.

https://youtu.be/U-Iw2Xs8rxk
Alicia’s mother’s birthday animal came in numbers – 3 ALLIGATORS!! She had a snappy birthday in Mt. Dora, Florida. She thought she was going to take a relaxing stroll and visit shops and eateries in Mt. Dora, but she ended up having a birthday of a lifetime with 3 alligators that joined in the celebration!!
https://youtu.be/MHNk6IKxouo
Alicia’s father was specifically on a mission to find a gopher tortoise for his birthday. Alicia steered him to Showcase of Citrus in Clermont, Florida, and there he found a gopher tortoise (and A LOT more animals at the new and improved Showcase of Citrus).
https://youtu.be/FoIqcK0jgtw
Alicia was searching for several birthday animals. She was definitely wanting to see a Florida Manatee, which has no known enemies! She got really lucky on St. Patty’s Day and found 25 birthday manatees at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge! This is the place to see A LOT of manatees and it is only by foot. She also got to see her first mating manatee herd!
https://youtu.be/o0tX8PLr0Eo
The search for “birthday animals” continued at Disney Animal Kingdom. This is the first time Alicia has been to Disney Animal Kingdom, since 2009. There are now a lot more animals and there is Asia and Africa that she could visit there! The family had a blast taking in hundreds of animals on their walk through Disney. Highlights are in video above. Alicia is known to cause monkeys to moon her. This seems to happen at all the zoos with monkeys and once again it happened at Animal Kingdom!

Alicia performs a holiday dance in her new Christmas Knee Socks!

On December 19, 2022, Alicia aka World Record Weber, attempted to set her 6th Holiday record in a new style! She wanted to wear knee high socks and believed they would be lucky and help her break a speed record that she attempted to re-set a few times and failed. She picked out her favorite new Christmas socks – red is her favorite color. She picked out her new tie dye red Christmas knee sock to re-set the intense one minute Hands Flat Triangle Star Squat record, which requires certain form to be maintained. If anyone knows Alicia, then you know she enjoys smashing records – not just breaking them slightly. Her Christmas wish came true – she SMASHED the record in her new knee high Christmas socks —-taking the long-standing record from 68 reps to 82 reps in one minute!!

https://youtu.be/jTMoLBvg3as

Watch Alicia break the one minute speed record in the video above in her tie dye knee high Christmas socks.

Weber Way to Wellness Reporter: What made you think of changing up your style to set a record and how did you think of a knee sock?

Alicia: First, I was thinking about unique Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers that most people may not think about. I usually give gift cards as gifts and I wanted to change things up this year. I then thought of a knee sock particularly Chrissy’s Knee Socks because she has a wide variety of comfortable, colorful, fashionable, sporty knee socks (for men and women) for many occasions especially Christmas. Second, I realized that I should change up my style and set a holiday record in a knee sock. I know some fans commented on my socks before and I felt a colorful knee sock would be a wonderful fashion statement.

Weber Way to Wellness Reporter: How did you pick out the Chrissy Knee High Socks and did you do anything special in the other 5 holiday records you set?

Alicia: I picked out Chrissy’s Knee High Socks because I felt they would not be too tight. They are made with cotton, nylon, and spandex. I am very happy with Chrissy’s form fitting knee high socks . I can also push them down and wear to my ankles. As far as my other holiday records go, I do wear some of my favorite outfits. I love my red lululemon running shorts and black tights. I also love my green/black speedo bikini top. I wanted to wear red and green in a sporty, snazzy way for these holiday records. I will share my 5 other holiday records below.

4.) Repeat #1….. (200 reps so far from steps 1-4)
5.) Finally, end with 5 consecutive chest-to-bar pull-ups and 5 consecutive chest-to-bar chin-ups (chest touches bar on each rep to count).

This is Alicia’s first 210 REP Plyo Aerobic Challenge with the initial goal of breaking 15 minutes (she does 14:32)! Over the course of 71 days she progresses to 10:24.3!!!!

The goal is to do 270 reps and still have time left over in the 10 minute time frame to do extra reps of a final ab exercise to finish out the 10 minutes.

World Record Holder’s Fun Mind and Body Training with a Free Video Game

There is no excuse to be a dumb Jock anymore when you have the free solitaire.org video games for fun, intellectual stimulation, and learning – over 100 of them!!

Researchers see educational and learning potential in a multitude of video games. I will share my favorite games from Solitaire.org and the results and benefits I exhibited from them. I will add that I do need to concentrate a lot with these games, so I like to add only a simple isometric exercise like the wall sit or just sitting on a Balance Ball for my Body and Mind Combo Training.

https://youtu.be/ZNZ_OwDonJU
Intro to Solitaire.org Mind and Body Training and My Results!!

DAILY WORD SEARCH: I enjoy the daily word search game where a word search is different each day. You can do the current day or go back and do a previous day. My best so far has been 12:02. Interestingly, I was never a big fan of word searches till this game. At first I felt overwhelmed and thought I would be too slow. I quickly developed a strategy to pick up the pace – finding all the “letters” for the first letter of a word. Then, I could sift through and find words faster. I found longer words more easily than three letter words. I find a great sense of self esteem to just complete these games in a timely fashion.

ZUMA BALL: My all time favorite game on any video game website involves bubble shooting. On this site, my favorite is Zuma Ball. I feel like there is logical thinking and strategy that needs to be made in order to be successful and move up the levels. I also know reaction time and hand-eye-coordination plays a part in your success in this game. There are similar shades of yellow and red balls, which can come quickly and you need to match them in 3 to remove them. You need to stay focused to match the right shade of color. I feel I get into a zone as I move up the levels and my concentration increases. I block out any distractions and I think fast, but I need to react even faster. Right now, my best result after a few days of practice has been reaching level 8 out of 10 levels.

DAILY 15UP: I never played a math video game before till I played Daily 15UP logic puzzle. At first, it seemed quite difficult and it took me 8 minutes to complete my first game. The math is easy, but there is logical thinking and a process to add up the math to make 12 addition problems. I kept getting stuck finding #12. After a few attempts, I got a lot faster and figured out the logic. My best time to complete the game is now 1 minute and 30 seconds. Just like with anything – practice makes performance.

PALACE HOTEL HIDDEN OBJECTS GAME: I found the Palace Hotel Hidden Objects game to be unique and exhilarating. I was so excited to get through all 10 levels on my first try at the game! It reminded me of my self defense course where I teach people to be aware of their surroundings and pay attention to details. I felt like a detective sent out on a hunt for missing objects and I had to find everything as fast as possible. I can see where this game improves memory recall and reaction time.

LETTER SCRAMBLE: The letter scramble video game was a great mental challenge with only 3 levels. I was happy to make it to level 2 of 3 on my first attempt. It tests your vocabulary, speed reading ability, reaction time, cognitive function, critical thinking, and memory recall. Different letters get shuffled around and you need to remember where a letter was placed to keep coming up with words quickly. Think of words with the letters you see and then spell them out. The game increases speed at each level.

These some of my favorite games and first results from them at Solitaire.org

There are well over 100 FREE games at solitaire.org. I just shared with you some of my favorite ones. They are probably most known for card games, so I wanted to share some of the other game categories available there. Time to get your Body and Mind Training in TODAY!

World Record Holder Gives 10 Tips to Get Ahead Financially and Make A Budget

Whether you are an athlete trying to save $ for races and travel, head of a household, person in debt and trying to dig out, or someone wealthy or not so wealthy with a goal to save – everyone can learn something to get ahead here. The first step I like to take would be to write out my financial goals and see what I may like to spend money on and also look at all the possible ways I can save money. Just like with my athletics, I want to then set realistic financial goals for myself and set small goals along the way and create a budget. I begin by implementing a few budget strategies at a time to build a base and then implement more as I grow. Just like my physical conditioning that leads to my records and race results, it is fun to see the results of a successful budget and what “financial conditioning” can do when I follow these tips.

Work on “Financial Conditioning” with 10 Budget Strategies to Spend Less and Make More.

1.) This is a simple and easy thing (just a snap of ANY receipt) and a person is on their way to earning points to gift cards from Amazon and other retailers. The Fetch App is a great app for travelers and people who are on the go spending money at a lot of places. The minimum is a $5 gift card with 5,000 points.

2.) The Upside App is excellent for getting cash back on gas. They partner with a variety of gas stations and even grocery stores and restaurants. It is pretty easy to use this app. You claim a place that you want to go. Then, click a button to check in once you are there. Then, take a snap of your receipt. The cash back money is usually processed within 48 hours. You can then cash out the money to a bank account or paypal when you want it.

3.) The Ibotta app is known to give the most money back on groceries among all apps. It seems to be pretty easy to use also. One must go to a store that they are partnered with and receive a receipt. Then, scroll through products and pick the ones that you bought that have rewards. Take a snap of the receipt. Your earnings are calculated and made available within 24 hours usually. One can cash out using paypal or bank account.

4.) If you are into buying a lot of organic groceries or organic products, then the Makeena app is one to use. You get cash back for buying certain organic groceries. You check off from a list of what you bought and snap your receipt. Shortly, one will receive cash back. Once, someone earns $20 in cash back, they can send the money to a bank account or paypal.

5.) A great way to save is by spending money using a cash back credit card (as long as you do not over-spend). There are quite a few cash back credit cards to consider and here are some of the main ones.

6.) Another great way to save is by cutting back on gas expenses by carpooling or riding a bike. Even better, you can earn money in gift cards through the Evidation App by living a healthy lifestyle – all you need to prove it is a fit bit watch or Apple Health on the iphone that logs your daily mileage “moved” by walking or cycling etc. You can also earn money toward gift cards by taking short surveys on your health. My one friend earned $20 in gift cards to Amazon in one month from logging mileage and taking a few short surveys.

7.) Take a close look at your groceries. One can normally get a lot of the packaged products for a lower price at Amazon. Compare the price there and now see the frequency of when you purchase certain products. In many cases, a big way to save money is through the Subscribe and Save program at Amazon (if you have Amazon Prime) and purchase certain products every month.

8.) Save Time AND Money with Kroger Delivery and get savings on gas at Shell. Check out the groceries at Kroger and see if they have what you like to get and give it go!

9.) Pick up some side jobs to make extra money. One can create a “fun money” account from side jobs and use that money toward going to the movies, going to Disney, going to a Dance Club, entering a Race etc. One can also use the extra money or cash back from the apps to put toward saving and investing.

10.) Time to start investing or continue to invest. A great book by Charles Payne called “Unstoppable Prosperity” teaches all about investing. Something that you do not hear about often is closed-end funds. I learned about Closed-End funds from someone with a financial degree. Non-leveraged means the funds have no debt, while leveraged funds mean there is debt. An example of a closed-end fund that is non-leveraged is BSTZ (BlackRock Science and Technology Trust II). A share is around $20 and it currently gives a monthly dividend of 19 cents a month per share. There are so many options with investing and one can find a Certified Financial Planner to guide them in investing.

Conclusion: After one month of working on my budget strategies, I earned $45.72 in cash back from doing tips 1-5 (not spending extra to get cash back, but just spending money on my usual monthly expenses). I also have been able to save my car two extra days from not needing gas, since I have been bicycling to work more often. Achieving this budget success will motivate me to continue and do the other strategies. I hope everyone enjoys implementing the budget strategies and sees great success as well!

World Record Holder Reveals her Joy of Sending and Receiving Cards

I recently experienced tremendous joy when I picked out a card and wrote a special message in it for my niece who just turned two. It was her first card from me. She was excited to receive it and it was very much appreciated by her and her mom and dad. It made me reminisce about my youth when I corresponded back and forth with close friends, family, and favorite teachers through card writing. No special occasions were needed to write a card with a letter. I looked forward to going to the mailbox and seeing what letter would arrive. These days there is no hurry to go to the mailbox and letter writing seems to have become a lost art that should be revived to add more joy to the days and it can be done easier now with new technology.

Receiving a card with a simple handwritten note can not only make someone’s day, but it can become a source of inspiration, motivation, and laughter for years to come. I remember many of my cards included a personal positive, uplifting message (I kept them all) and I would re-read them when I was going through a tough time. It would give me a source of power and motivation to keep trucking. Some cards with letters would always make me laugh. The ones who received my cards would tell me how much it livened them up as well. Unknowingly, one person was going through cancer and found thinking of me and my cards made her laugh and helped her beat cancer (she told me this enlightening info after she recovered from cancer).

Nowadays, as an enrichment teacher and coach, I always treasure cards I receive from students. I keep them all. Not only is it thoughtful, but it reminds me of their growth and development in my program where an average 60 percent of kids learn to compete for the first time. They learn practice makes performance and a positive mindset with a “if it is going to be, it is upto me” attitude. Their cards are a memory of their big achievements from being in my program for a short time.

Even though regular card writing with special messages may not be “the norm” like it was for me years ago, it still holds a special place in one’s heart and should not be forgotten. It seems the most common cards that go out these days are birthday cards. You can automatically send birthday cards with a special personal message easily. With today’s technology, writing a handwritten note and sending a card is easier than ever. Everyone can create a positive impression with family and friends at work or at school with at least one memorable birthday card that could become a game changer in one’s life or at least a long lasting bond.

World Record Woman Encounters Great Sleep and Dreams in Ghostbed

By: Weber Way to Wellness Reporter

A great night’s sleep with a great dream empowered Alicia to her second consecutive Clay 5k Race Victory within 50 days.

The World Record Woman, Alicia Weber, who at one point set 1,000 physical fitness world records in 1,785 days (one record every 42 hours) knows how important a good night’s sleep can be. Alicia enjoys 9-11 hours of sleep, but can do well with 8 hours. However, every hour under 8 hours needs to be made up for her to function at optimal levels. Outside of record breaking, she juggles a few careers and also competes as an elite athlete (she has over 170 victories).

She recently encountered a Ghostbed and was so excited by the name and comfort level of this split king adjustable bed with mattress.

“Going to bed to me is like going into a movie theater. I can’t wait to see what dream or “movie” will play tonight. Ghostbed sounds like a bed for a creative imagination at work at night,” Alicia exclaimed.

Recently, Alicia had a ghost disrupt her sleep (not in a Ghostbed)! She had to get extra sleep over a couple nights to recover. Late at night, dead batteries were left in a light and it suddenly turned on and flickered like crazy!!! There was no let up till she manually turned the light off. She checked the light in the morning and the batteries were dead again and light not working. She feels it was a good ghost though!

Alicia recently completed 3 Clay Races in Central Florida in 57 days. She loves to try to dream about her races, but rarely can feel herself running in her sleep. She can only see herself from a 3rd person point of view normally when it comes to running in her dreams. Only once in a dream did she feel herself running and huffing and puffing from a first person point of view. She remembers it as a “runderful” dream where she was running fast and effortlessly around a large grass field converted into a grass 400 meter track in between football goal posts. It felt so real. Then, in real life…several days after having the “runderful” dream she was sought out and offered a job as a track coach where she ended up training youth on the same grass track that she saw in her dream!!

Alicia likes to mentally prepare for competitions at night through dreams. In her March 5, 2022 Clay Race she saw herself coming through the finish line in first place. Then, in real life she did win the race! Then, she had a dream about her next race on April 23, 2022. She walked into a big auditorium and a bunch of people kept saying, “There is the winner” or “Congrats to winner” or pointing and saying “She is the winner” – a vivid dream! When she awoke she felt that dream was letting her know she will win. In real life, she did win her second consecutive clay race! Finally, she was hoping for a third win only 7 days later at the largest clay race in Central Florida with 770 finishers on April 30, 2022. She was unable to have any good dream about this 3rd race. All she could see in her dream was the type of terrain she would be running in and seeing herself go around a few bends. In real life, she placed 5th woman overall, first place Master Female.

The right, relaxing night time setting stimulates her imagination and ability to dream. Outside of a comfortable bed (like Ghostbed), she likes to hear the sound of water or have a Himalayan salt lamp on before sleeping to help with relaxation.

“You know you had a great sleep when you have a great dream that wakes you up excited for a new day. Also, to go to bed and feel fatigued and get the right amount of hours of deep sleep is very rejuvenating,” mentioned Alicia.

Getting the right amount of hours of deep sleep, keeps Alicia thinking possibilities with a positive-approach. Alicia hates not getting enough sleep because she feels disorganized and finds it harder to think positively. There are many other benefits to a Good Night’s Sleep. In fact, Penn Medicine considers sleep the Best Medicine!
