  • SLOMO: Do What You Want To Do

    Watch this video:  Slomo and when you are done, I want you to ask yourself if you are doing what you want to do. Are you really tapping into what makes you happy?  Not everyone can just take a leap like this guy has done, but we can all take steps to bring us closer to…

  • Life is good. Spring is here.

    I bought a Ninja blender this weekend to start incorporating Kale and veggies in my daily grind — I need more than ever to re-focus on my overall nutrition and health. I have been on a slippery slope far too long and it’s at a point where pants that I have fit into for years…

  • Success: The Difference You Make In People’s Lives

    I got back from San Fran a few days ago and am still processing and decompressing all the experiences HB and I had on our SF trip. Of course there was mostly family time which is what’s important. My two little 3 month old nieces are just the cutest, sweetest babies in the world. I…

  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

    Getting your haircut is a great way to boost your mood – and today I did just that.  I also needed to get it done before I head out to San Fran to spend time with my brothers’ families and unwind. So much has happened since the last trip I have taken — it will…

  • Sleep: Artificial Light Affects Our Circadian Rhythms

    Weekends come and go way too fast. I know I say that every stinkin’ Monday but it’s true. My mom was in town to see the kids and that meant lots of eating out and off routine. It’s worth it but it can wreak havoc with my system. I totally went way off the deep…

  • Giving Back To The Community

  • Yoga: Your Hips Are Telling You Something

    My internet connection has been out all day so that’s why I am delayed in posting today!! My apologies! I think the winter haze has finally left the DC area – today is supposed to get into the 60’s and I see the rays of the sun shining down. I need the darkness of winter to…

  • Mother Nature’s Favorite Child is Winter

    Here we are — well into March. In fact, you could say that we are nearing the end of March. Spring is in the air and what happens? Snow. We got snow and it snowed all darn day. This year’s winter has been really odd in Northern VA. I have lived here since 1996 and…

  • What A Crazy, Busy Wonderful Weekend We Had

    What a crazy, busy wonderful weekend I had. Friday evening, I met up with some of the awesome people from Highbar CrossFit for a social happy hour/dinner. It’s always fun to be able to talk and hang out outside of the gym because if our coaches had our way, we would always be laser focused…
