  • Sisters Make People Happy

    Recently I have really appreciated how great it is to have sisters. There really is nothing out there that can replace the bond, memories and the feeling of ‘home’ you get with a sister — Why Sisterly Chats Make People Happier Having a Sister Makes You Happier”: that was the headline on a recent article…

  • Go ahead, try it!

    I went out on a ‘school nite’ -a rare occurrence for me. Recently we have had some new energy/new people at work and they are really bringing social back into the department.  There is nothing like hanging out with some early 20 year olds to remind you about the differences in perspective. It challenges the…

  • What are you?

    I read this post this morning: Experimenting with Scale Purgatory about taking a break from the scale. Isn’t it funny the relationship some of us have with the scale? It’s crazy if you think about it — it’s not rational. It’s a number that has so much power over us. And what I find so interesting…

  • Don’t go Lidia!

    One of most favorite ladies from Plumbline who has been one of the most supportive, fun and impressive people I have met is moving. After the plane pull she heads to her new home in North Carolina. You have NEVER and I mean NEVER met anyone like Lidia B – aka Queen B. You would…

  • Just the Way You Are

    I heard this song by Bruno Mars ‘Just The Way You Are’ and it really resonated with me — I am always asking Scotty how I look (just like many wives and girlfriends out there) and it frustrates him to no end. I just think Men don’t think like we do — and the media…

  • Photographs can be Hazardous to your Mental Health

    I read this blog post by Roni called Sometimes It’s Just a Bad Picture — and it really could not have come at a better time. July and August I did races and with those races were race photographers who put the photos in a gallery for you to view and if you want, buy.…

  • Reflections on Letting Yourself Go

    Sometimes when I am driving to work or out doing an errand – I will randomly notice other women that look to be close to may age. Some of them look great – while others, well they don’t look their best. In some cases, it looks like they have given up any sense of self.…

  • Rest and Recovery Reflections

    Sometimes I forget to stop and smell the roses – I am sure we all do. Today – I had some time to quiet my mind from all the stress that has been around me lately. I did stop and think about how lucky I am. In a million years I would never have thought…

  • Boot Camp: Inspiring, Supportive and Fun!

    Another Forced Rest day. In some ways I feel more tired now that I am getting more sleep but I am enjoying the lack of rushing around in the AM. Not enjoying it enough to stop so no worries. It’s nice to take a short break – I am hoping it will reinvigorate me both…

  • People always ask me what I do for a living…

    What does a community manager do? – Blog – The Intersection of Community, Communication and Content. Here is a good blog entry by another person who does Online Community Management for a living.  I am always given a hard time because I am on “Facebook” or about this blog. I do this for a living people.…
