August 22nd is Be an Angel Day. On this day people can become angels by engaging in random acts of kindness. The objective is for people to do something nice or be kind or help someone who needs it. It can be an emotional or a physical or a financial help. It doesn’t have to be a grand act. It can be anything you do to reach out to someone else and serve them in any way possible. For often times when we serve others there is a domino effect. The person you serve will be inspired to serve others and the process continues.

This is what we like to call the Shazzy Hop. Inspired by Apollo's experience with football drills (back in the day), the Shazzy Hop focuses on the core and glutes. Make some room because you'll need some space for this one.

Serendipity. While most of us would be happy just reading about this term and then moving on, Madeleine Kay went on to create a Serendipity Day, which is celebrated on August 18th. Kay defines serendipity as “the willingness to live your life as though everything is a miracle….with the belief at any moment, something wonderful is about to happen.” The purpose of the day is to give people an opportunity to live serendipitously, to be open to the endless possibilities and embrace them.

What do you want from life? Fame. Fortune. Finding the purpose of your life. Your list could be endless, but, the bottom line is we all want to just be happy. And on August 8th you can join the happiness bandwagon as it is Happiness Happens Day. The Secret Society of Happy People founded this day in 1999 with the sole purpose of encouraging people to think about what makes them happy and celebrate that feeling.
In the year 2000, the United States Department of Agriculture proclaimed that August 4th - August 10th would be National Farmers Market Week. Ever since, for that one week farmers markets all over this country host special events like cooking demos, live music etc. to join the celebration. Farmers market is an integral part of our life today. It is a space that links urban life to farm life. Consumers get direct access to food fresh off the farms, while farmers can sell their produce directly eliminating the middle man.
