  • Valentine’s Day: Love Seeks Real Moments

    This weekend is Valentine’s Day if you didn’t already know.  My friend shared this really meaningful post this morning: The One True Thing About the Perfect Valentine’s Date that I want everyone to read.  “Love doesn’t seek a perfect moment; it seeks a real moment.” There is no such thing as a fairy tale marriage. No relationship…

  • Birthday Wishes Warm The Heart Or Something Like That

    I was sincerely touched by all of the people in my life & social sphere (in person and online) that took time out of their day to wish me a Happy Birthday yesterday. I don’t really grasp the reach and impact the stuff I share and the digital media work I do  – and it becomes…

  • 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…

  • Happy Hanukkah 2014

    And I know you all want to see Hanukkah memes… Hanukkah 2014: All the Chanukkah Memes You Need to See 

  • Corporate America: The Crap They Eat

    I appreciate a free lunch like anyone else out there – but when you make healthy eating a priority, a free lunch doesn’t really mean much. A few weeks ago, I was attending an in-house two day training session for work. Apparently, my company provides lunch when all day training is scheduled.  Being new, I didn’t…

  • Create Your Own Sunshine

    What is it about the holiday season that can make some people depressed? Could it be the darkness of winter that sets in or the reality of how fast time flies or memories of holidays past? Or maybe the combo of it all… I am feeling so blah – nothing really excites me lately including…

  • What Are You Thankful For?

    Happy Thanksgiving! There is always something to be thankful for even when things may not be going in the most ideal way. Whether it be an opportunity to learn, to grow, or to appreciate.  It’s way too easy to get wrapped up in our lives and forget how blessed and lucky so many of us…

  • Happy Halloween

    Hooray for a Happy Halloween: Column

  • September 11: I Remember

    This was written by my husband last year on 9/11: I Remember… Whenever I see the numbers 9 and 11, I remember. Whenever I fly and go through airport security, I remember. Whenever I drive past the Pentagon, I remember. Whenever I see the New York City skyline, I remember. Whenever someone says “Let’s Roll”, I…

  • Why Do We Celebrate Labor Day Anyway?

    My friend Liz invited me to try a new CrossFit that opened nearby for a Saturday WOD this weekend. It was a partner workout with 3 rounds of 30 OHS, 40 Pull Ups and 50 V-Ups. I have not really done any lifting for months, so the gift of OHS was felt all day Sunday…
