  • So Many Ways To Grow

    I had a rough weekend mentally and combined with a bug or something, I could not physically get out of bed yesterday and it was even harder to get out of bed this morning. So I skipped my 6A workout — and got up to get the kids off to school. I battled internally with…

  • Napping: It’s a Good Thing

    We are definitely entering Fall here in Northern Virginia. It is getting darker earlier and this morning, when I woke up it was dark and chilly. Brrr. I actually love this time of the year – it’s a time of change. Northern VA is so beautiful in the Fall. We have an abundance of trees,…

  • What Makes You Happy?

    My sister in law recommended watching Happy, a documentary that according to Netflix: …takes viewers on a journey from the swamps of Louisiana to the slums of Kolkata in search of what really makes people happy. Combining real-life stories and scientific interviews, the film explores the secrets behind our most valued emotion. Kind of fitting…

  • CrossFit: Learn Each and Every Day

    I met up with a friend yesterday and we were talking about life, our philosophy towards it, events that shape it, you know the usual friend chatter. That usual chatter led me to a light bulb moment. I have been trying to figure out why some of my relationships go bad and why my feelings…

  • Fear and Moving Forward

    I have talked about Fear before — how it holds us back, how we get stuck in a Fear Loop and can’t seem to get out. This weekend I read something by Richard Branson – you know the guy who founded Virgin and all the sub-companies underneath brand.  He writes a lot of good stuff…

  • We Can Handle Anything

    I know I am not the only one that during times of a lot of stress or times when I am upset about something, during a workout that pushes me, I start to tear up and if I let myself, I cry.  I spent a lot of time holding in and trying to focus on…

  • Keep Moving Forward

    I am focused on moving forward. That will be my new mantra. If it doesn’t help me grow, progress and move forward –then it’s a waste of brain space. My mind has been racing and I have been having trouble sleeping. So – moving forward is what I need to concentrate on.   It was…

  • Everywhere There are Signs

    You know how you see signs to make changes all around you, and you acknowledge the signs, but you try to ignore them, or find excuses or reasons why it’s not the right time? Yeah, well that has been happening to me for the past year or so, and I have been purposely ignoring it.…

  • Busy Busy Day

     I took the day off to take Hannah to the orthopedist to have her wrist looked at — well she is now in an arm cast. I am sure the novelty of it all will wear off in a day or so. It will be a long four weeks for my baby. Today was a…

  • Right or Happy – Your Choice

    Funny how things can pop out of nowhere that lead to great opportunities –or at least the possibility of great ones! I am meeting with an old friend this morning to catch up and discuss a possible opportunity for me to further expand and grow. I will share more when I know more! Just keep me in…
