When I was young, very young I was diagnosed with ADHD, in fact I was one of the 1st females ever diagnosed with it. At the time it was a challenging diagnosis, My parents were told that if I worked really hard I could be average. They didn’t believe it, they always knew that if […]
I’m reading a new book “The Devine Commodity” by Skye Jethani. I’m only into the 2nd chapter but I’ve already found some great talking points. Here is the first one I came across that I wanted to share. “One of the main problems is that in this chatty society, silence has become a very fearful […]

Don’t forget about my neacklace giveaway that is up till 8/17! I’m so sad the Olympics are over (ok not for me I still have lots on DVR but hey) so I thought I would take a break for a week from talking about running and such and would share a few things I’ve learned […]

I’m not a Mom. That doesn’t mean I haven’t tried to be, and while I’m ok with it for now I know there are lots of Women out there who aren’t. Secretly their heart breaks when they hear their friend who ‘wasn’t trying’ is pregnant. Mothers Day hurts and they don’t even want to […]
