Pursue Within is on ETSY!

I’m excited to announce that I have officially created an Etsy store and the Malas I make are now available to buy! Meditation has been an important part of my journey.  It has been the one thing that has made the biggest impact on my life.  If you’ve never practiced you should start.  I practice daily.  […]

Case of the Barfies

 It really grosses me out when kids are barry sick. REALLY grosses me out. It’s even worse when they vomit outside of their own home. It does make me happy that I’m not a single parent.  While I’m soothing and racing them to the toilet my partner in crime deals with the dirty work.  Do […]

The Donut

Last week Bash’s teacher asked for a recent family picture.  They are working on a family unit in school and focusing on what it means to be part of a family and different responsibilities each family member has.  I have a lot of pictures of all of us but not many of all of us […]

Thankful

I never really considered myself a procrastinator.  If I put things off, I generally forget about it all together.  Maybe it’s from a concussion I had maybe it’s just me.  I’m not really sure.  Today I felt like the BIGGEST procrastinator. *               *           […]

Leave the Flock

Back in July there was a Fierce Forward meet up.  It was a day of bootcamp, yoga, walk of intention, vision boarding, picture taking and closed the night out with dinner and drinks.  It was incredible.  Every single woman there was extremely different but there we were, together, moving fiercely through whatever life was throwing […]

Lessons

There are lessons to be learned everywhere. A couple Wednesday’s ago, my littlest one had his tonsils removed. This particular hospital did the surgery’s in order of youngest to oldest. This worked out great because my little guy could sleep on the way to the hospital, wake up, get checked in, have the surgery and […]

Holla for the Mala

Mala’s and Meditation go together like cookies and milk.  Since meditation is something I practice regularly malas have become a slight obsession.  Because I’m feeling craft these days, I decided to make one.  Well one became some and I don’t really see an end in sight.  Inspiration for a new one always comes to me […]

#TeamErin

I forgot how skinny felt.  There is a quote I’ve seen around, probably on Pinterest, that says, “Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels”.  That never really made any sense to me.  Maybe because I’ve been blessed with height and weight just doesn’t look the same on me as it might look on other people.  […]

DIY – Mason Jar Dying

In my past life I was a surfer.  I can feel it in my soul.  Because I don’t live on the North Shore, there really isn’t any surfing close to me BUT I can paddle board!  Since the SUP competition I was in earlier this summer I have been obsessed and saving for my own […]

The Rockshow

As fate should have it I am an extremely lucky person; always in the right place in the right time.  One of the most memorable of these times was the Minneapolis music scene in the early 2000s.  That was, without a doubt, the most magical time for music and I was lucky enough to be there […]
