  • Life is Good

    Another beautiful day. Had a date with Scotty: saw Skyfall with Daniel Craig. Love some James Bond action. Did a little shopping. Life is good.

  • Let’s Be Relentlessly Awesome

    I have come across some bat shit crazy people in my life and what I have realized is that I do have an inner radar that goes off when I first meet these sort of people.  Something about what they say, how they say it just raises a flag in my head and for the…

  • Developing you, the Brand

    Developing the Brand Called You I’ve been doing some reading about leadership and creating a positive self brand.  If you think about yourself in marketing terms — you are a brand. How you present yourself personally and professionally, how you respond to certain situations and certain people –all play a part in how your brand…

  • 11 Questions To Help You Decide If You Need To Make A Change

    Are you Just Keeping the Lights On in Life? I want to share what a dear friend of mine shared with me yesterday about something she was told in the recent weeks about the work she does. It really rang true for me and I think it’s really indicative of where so many of us…

  • I. Could. Not. Get. Up.

    Hormone Poisoning aka Getting Hit By A Mac Truck This morning I woke up feeling like I had a bunch of gluten, dairy and got hit by a mac truck! The cause? A combo of working out hard 4 days in a row (two of them hero WODs-9/11 and Arnie) and what my friend/author Melicious…

  • Friendships among Women

    I love this post:  How to Be Friends With Another Woman. I often notice how we women can be our own worst enemies, tearing each other down, gossiping about one another, harshly judging. Guys don’t act like that — I always think back to a pick up game of basketball. Scott can go out with…

  • CrossFit is about the Community

    CrossFit is about the Community I have been a part of the CrossFit community for quite some time now and I want to share something about this community that bubbles me over with pride.  It’s the spirit of the athletes. I’m not talking about their competitive spirit or the ready for anything approach. It’s the…
