  • 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…

  • Being Thankful

    An extra post today to close out my 5 days of sharing what I’m thankful for: Day 5… 1. I’m thankful for my strong personality. Some may think it’s a blessing and a curse but I disagree. It’s important for people to know where you stand. 2. I’m thankful for my ability to make friends…

  • Kindness never goes out of style

    Kindness never goes out of style I came across another wonderful story about the kindness displayed by Robin Williams. You won’t regret reading it: A LITTLE KNOWN ROBIN WILLIAMS STORY I’m on Day 4 of 5, sharing what I am thankful for: 1. I’m thankful for my large network of good people. I’ve learned so much from…

  • Depression: Who Are You To Judge?

    As I spent time yesterday reading about Robin Williams, it became clear how judgmental some people insist on being.  Who are we to judge someone else’s actions? We were not in his shoes at that moment or the ones that led up to it. All I can imagine is the immense pain he must have…

  • The Goal Is To Get Fit And Have Fun

    What I have discovered over the course of the past month or so and mixing up my fitness routine is I was/am burned out from strength and conditioning training. I think the one year mark tends to be the time when I start craving something different. With that in mind, I have decided to stop going…

  • A Strong Strength Foundation

    Not only can I already feel how Yoga is helping with some mobility issues, it’s also helping me learn to quiet my mind. At the end of every class, we do a short meditation and I always wish it was longer. I just start to feel relaxed – my muscles are loose, i love how…

  • Mother Nature Isn’t Done With Us Yet

    SNOW is what greeted me when I woke up this morning. SNOW is what happened mid-March – mere weeks before spring. SNOW is what made me cranky today. School was cancelled, gym was closed, and it’s cold. I am so over winter – it’s overstayed its welcome. I am all for seasons but it’s time…

  • Look your Best, Embrace the Experiences

    I was thinking about the Oscars and the mundane questions that celebs get asked at events like that.  I read that there was a push to ask more insightful, less looks focused questions called Ask Her More.  It was funny to hear Kevin Spacey get asked questions usually reserved for the lady celebs. He was…

  • Rest in Peace Ms. Shirley Temple

    If the predictions are right, the DC area is due for some big snow starting tomorrow night. Personally, I like having some snow on the ground. I find it forces people to slow down life a bit. However, the extra work attached to getting a big dump of snow is not welcome. My kids get…

  • Musings for an Ordinary Day

    Holy cow it’s cold – the thermometer said 4′ on the way to the gym this morning.  I am really wanting to go to San Francisco and meet my nieces. Seeing the pics of them is tough because I know it will be a while before I get to actually meet them in person. I…
