  • Magnesium: The Forgotten Mineral

    Friends of mine had a real scare last week — Liz and John are friends of ours back when Hannah was months old. Their son Jack and HB were close baby buds and we were all brand new to the parenting thing so stuck close together. Life gets busy as our kids get older, so…

  • You’re Awesomely Confident

    I am sore from yesterday’s workout. I didn’t realize it until I was stretching and warming up for today’s workout but walking OH lunges do a number on you each and every time! Here’s a few things I have read recently to share: Recipe: Sounds yummy: BEST Chocolate Zucchini Bread (Gluten Free, Paleo) THE TRUTH…

  • Stay Hungry My Friends…

    Mornings are so tough in my house –my son just refuses to adjust and get up. He has been this way since he was born –won’t go to sleep and when he finally gives in to it –it’s like moving the earth to get him to get up and when he does, he’s in the…

  • You Are Who You Hang Out With

    Yesterday, I posted the quote from Mohammed Ali around the Fake it till you make it theme. And it got me thinking more around this topic. What do all of those successful people do that others don’t? What is it about certain people you meet that draws you to them and makes you want to…

  • Jump and a Net will Appear

    Recently someone told me jump and a net will appear — and I have really taken that to heart. In many decisions I have made to help improve things in my life. I decided to get serious about things that just weren’t working out for me and instead of doing what I always do -put…

  • Life is Short – Appreciate

    It’s days like this that remind you how lucky you are to be where you are –and how in an instant life can be altered. The stories out of Oklahoma City after the tornado are heartbreaking. And I find that it’s too painful and heart-wrenching for me to talk or read about the children hurt…

  • Embrace Change

    Yesterday, I did my second 5K of the season for a great cause –the Joe Cassella Foundation 5K. I didn’t know Joe, but have come to know his wife Gina and she is a very special woman. The gang from CFI Endurance all gathered to run together and it was so fun. It 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…

  • Presenting the Ruritan Citizenship Award Recipient: My Daughter

    Sometimes, the universe speaks to me so loudly, letting me know I am doing the right thing. I saw this today from coach Zach Even Esh, who I met briefly last summer: Training Tip: If you train hard you must also rest “hard” – both are equally important I am sure it’s no surprise to…

  • Sharpening Your Edge

    We have had a woodpecker in our yard for years and every year, that darn thing uses our gutter as his piece of wood to make the loudest alarm clock in the world. I forget that he does that and boy do I get woken up from a deep sleep. The dangers of Spring right?…
