Girlfriends are amazing and should be appreciated. Girlfriends are there during the good, the bad and the ugly haircuts. Always reinforcing everything you need to hear exactly when you need to hear it. About 10 years ago, I had been dating my now husband for a little while. I had been introduced to quite a […]

Rebuilding
A little after motherhood is when I noticed that me had left. Now I’m trapped in this parallel universe somewhere between the life I have and the life I feel I should have. Claustrophobia isn’t an issue because the space between the two lives is immense. How does one stray so far off the path? […]
The Power of Om
Bash has started to yell. When he gets mad or frustrated he yells and it makes me realize he’s been around one of his Grandmothers a little too much. In an effort to calm this little anger ball and resume a Zen-like lifestyle, Operation Teach Kids to Meditate has begun. Sometimes I watch this little […]

One Legged Yogi
I love the idea of Yoga. Probably I’m infatuated with the practice. Who doesn’t want to be fit, tone and all bendy and stuff? Often I picture myself as a yogi, just trapped behind this thin shell waiting to be cracked open. Monday I was slightly fractured. Because I didn’t have to pay for daycare […]
Respecting Elders
My parents taught me to respect elders, no matter the age difference. Everyone has something to share that you could potentially learn from. Saturday I was at a Christmas party amongst elders, chatting with this really fun woman about 15 years my senior. This woman is pretty amazing; she’s had some hard times, but ALWAYS […]
Confidence
How do you get it, sustain it and why does it seem like the people that should have it don’t and the people that shouldn’t have more than enough? My girlfriends and I used to meet for a monthly dinner and drinks date. We’d fill everyone in on what’s going on during the appetizers and […]
My husband told me
My husband told me today that I talk about doing, more than I actually do and I quit working out at the exact time that the reps matter the most. The most disheartening thing about both of these statements is they are both T.R.U.E. He’s right. I’m guilty as charged. Lock me up and throw […]
Green Thumb
My mom has plants everywhere in their house. Every time she prunes, starts a new bud or transplants she’s successful. My dad too, every year their garden looks like a rain forest, large and plentiful. While their thumbs are green mine are as peach as peach can be. Fish and plants don’t stand a chance […]
Fierce Forward Ambassador
After a semi-disappointing weekend, I received the greatest email EVER! Before I get into that…a backstory is needed. I don’t apply myself. Often I stay stuck in what’s comfortable for FAR too long. I’ll stay in a position that isn’t suited for me for longer than I’ll admit because I just don’t get out there. […]
God works in mysterious ways.
God works in mysterious ways. There was a family owned pizza shop in the small town I grew up in. The family’s son worked there all the time, we were in the same grade. As soon as I turned 16 it was my job to go get the weekly pie. Every time I went up […]
