#NoExcuses

I was one of those girls you probably hated in high school. Not because I was mean and popular but because I could eat anything and loose weight. I have always eaten whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. When I was pregnant I didn’t look pregnant. My stomach looked more like two chipotle burritos stacked […]

Let it go

2014 was not an easy year for marriage.  At least for my marriage.  All relationships experience ups and downs throughout but 2014 was a mostly down year for us.  The big D (and I don’t mean Dallas) crossed both of our minds. *                *         […]

Happy New Year!

I don’t feel ready for this year.  Time is consistent, it passes whether you’re ready or not.  Now it’s day two of this New Year and I’m just not ready for it. Besides biking across MN, running virtual races and paying off a credit card I will also keep this list in mind.   This […]

Un-becoming in 2015

The New Year. As the worst year of my life rounds out to end, I think not of the struggles that have dragged me down but of the battles I conquered. A friend of mine sent me this quote… It just makes so much sense to me. I don’t need to BECOME anything. I already […]

Welcome

I realized yesterday that I didn’t really set out a welcome note…a what this blog is about note.  Here goes. I’m on a journey of self-acceptance.  My journey to discover Zen in my chaotic life all while including my two boys, two dogs, one cat and a child-like husband. Life is about balance. Balance between […]

Blood

Blood. It’s kind of gross, and a necessity. Yesterday I decided to complete one of my Day Zero goals of donating blood. While I was in the American Red Cross bus I was immediately surprised by the amount of things that make you ineligible to donate. Traveling to other countries, tattoos and piercings (all within […]

Following Footsteps

My dad is a guy’s guy. Mr. Fix-it, Dr. Dad, Jack-of-all-trades wrapped into one 6’2” package. He doesn’t hire out he fixes or invents a new workable solution. He’s stubborn, thinks he’s always right (which most of the time he is) and he’s the most generous person you’ll ever meet. As it turns out, if […]

Church Going

I am a churchgoer. I have been for a long time, but I rarely talk about it. Mostly because I don’t know many bible stories and I haven’t ever been confirmed. I was born in Colorado, and lived in an extremely small town. The town had maybe 6 families living there. (I was young; I […]

One Up

Everywhere you look everyone is trying to one up each other. My kid’s an honor student, my dad is stronger than your dad, ect… Some people may not even say it but if you tell them an accomplishment of yours right away their mind goes to a better accomplishment they have achieved. Why is that? […]
