  • It’s Not About The Food

    Today marks my third week at my new gig and although I am still very green with knowledge, I’m feeling at home. There is a ton of work to be done and I have the opportunity to make a real difference to the company. I was thinking this weekend, that I feel better. I’m starting…

  • Complicated Women Are Everywhere

    One more thought to share from the Golden Globes – Maggie Gyllenhaal talked about complicated women and how we are all complicated when it comes down to it. I love that way of putting it – complicated does not have to be negative. I am proud to be complicated – to me it means being interesting, smart,…

  • Happy New Year 2015: Let’s Get Uncomfortable

    It’s been a good thing for me to step back and really just breathe the past two weeks. I had some family in town, got to enjoy some unencumbered downtime, got my fitness on and just allowed myself to “BE’. There are some big changes in store for me this month that I will share in…

  • Fake It To Make It So

    I have always said I wouldn’t sugar coat my wellness journey – there are ups and downs. I seem to be in a valley right now… I’m having a rough time as of late. I feel beaten up.  I have just a sense of blah around most things in my life right now. I’ve been…

  • What Would You Tell Your Younger Self?

    I saw this posted question the other day and it made me pause. It’s an interesting question to ponder. Now that my daughter is entering her teen years and has started to experience all that goes with it, it has put me in a reflective mood. She has already begun dealing with friend drama, body image worries, and…

  • Obesity at Disney: A Snapshot of Our World

    It was 6 years ago, during my last trip to Disney,  I started to get my ass in gear and began taking care of myself. Having just gotten back a few days ago from my family’s latest trip there, it became clear to me how many people in the world need to do the same. Before I go off…

  • Fake It Until You Make It

    I’ve always said that I will be honest when I take to this blog — the triumphs, the struggles, the shit times and the great moments of my life. So be warned… The past few months I’ve been struggling. Struggling to remain focused. Struggling to get my ass in gear — I’m not sure what’s…

  • Tell Your Story and Let It Go

    I regularly read the musings of an entrepreneur, writer James Altucher. He seems to have a really good perspective and gives good advice.  Here’s a short excerpt from the Post by James Altucher. How do you prepare for a good death? I think we live in four dimensions at the same time. The physical world, where we…

  • Finding Your Passion & Making A Difference

    “We’re successful if person by person we help make a difference in their lives.”   Read this article about Elizabeth Holmes, who has made medical history and is now one of the youngest billionaires based on her invention.  What’s amazing about her story is she took a risk, a leap of faith supported by a passion and a…
