I know it’s Wednesday already, but life was happening and I didn’t get a chance to write.  Weighing In For the past thirty days I’ve been staying away from the scale (I cheated a few times shhhh). I was super excited to step on after the last thirty days to see some big loss and…

Me For the first time in years, I don’t know what I want. It’s both exciting and terrifying. This is exactly where I need to be right now, and I am open to all possibilities.  The good thing is I don’t have to decide today, or tomorrow. Whatever comes my way, I’m ready. Years 2013-2016…

Reset, refocus, and move forward. For the past three years, I’ve had a direction in mind of where I wanted to go professionally, and now that’s changed. For months, I’ve been agonizing over this job wondering what my fate would be, I question everything and it’s really hard for me to trust people. I can’t…

I love Mondays! No, I really actually do, especially early in the morning. I sit alone drinking my coffee (even if I can get 3 minutes and 45 seconds, just to think).  I’ve got cranky kids walking down the stairs and Evelyn using her yogurt as moisturizer.   There’s a slight possibility I could be…

Blog As I’m approaching a year writing this blog I thought about how it’s changed and I love reflecting back on what was going on at any given time. Someone asked me today “What’s your blog about”, the first thing that comes to mind, is “What isn’t it about?” When I was thinking about starting…

I woke up this morning full of energy and ready for whatever the day threw at me.  It’s only fitting it’s the first official day of spring, and I didn’t even realize it until later in the day.  So open to whatever comes my way.  Speaking of new beginnings, I’ve been reflecting back to when…

Me  I’ve grown tired of chasing people. Life is too short, I don’t have time to waste on people that don’t want me in their life. We are here for a moment, just a moment and I can’t let that slip away from me, waiting. Treat me like I matter. I found myself slipping into old…

Just keep pushing. Miles and music  Yesterday was gorgeous and I got a good run in. Two hours, but I finished. I even walked a lot the last two miles, but I finished. My feet and hip were killing me, but I finished.  I can’t function without music, it’s just the way I am. I’ve…

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So, what. Get started now. With each step, you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, more and more successful.” -Mark Victor Hansen  …

An old Facebook memory inspired my post today; it’s all about prep.  Having everything ready so the kids can pack their own lunch/snack in the morning, and after school is worth every minute of prepping. If I had more patience I’d get them in on this too – maybe one day :). My kids go…
