  • Cancer Sucks

    The journey is the reward – Chinese Proverb Today I am trying an evening class at Crossfit Impavidus to mix things up a bit so I slept in and will head there for the 730p class. I haven’t spoken much about our cancer journey lately – not because it doesn’t continue to color everything we…

  • Hit the Nail on the Head

    So I seriously had the best birthday yesterday. I woke up, worked out, headed to a baby shower lunch with some friends, came home, napped, and then headed out for a party thrown by some good friends. There is nothing like just living in the moment and enjoying your life.  I felt loved. So much…

  • You will get Back on Even Ground

    I loved this post by Mel over at The Clothes Make the Girl — because she calls it like she sees it. I am trying to be realistic and realize it’s ok to indulge once in a while — it doesn’t make you a failure or a bad person. You let yourself indulge – nothing…
