I was listening to “The Chalene Show” podcast on the way to work today and was hit so hard by part of it I actually forgot what the general topic was. In her podcast “How to Not Worry What Other People Think,” she addresses several topics including: We can NEVER truly know what is going on […]
Writing this statement was no small undertaking for me. Its a concept I learned from Chalene Johnson’s 30 Day Push (a free training FYI. ) I half wrote it several times but I finally got the whole thing done and just in time to help me make a very big decision. My number one priority […]
We make choices on a daily basis, some of them are so easy they take barely a thought, others (at least for me) take DAYS of thinking, processing, looking at all the angles and possibilities and generally driving myself and my husband crazy.

Tuesday I talked just a little about all the working parts that went in to making my Disney trip happen. Today I want to say thank you to all involved, Mac, Grandparents and Seth. Thank you doesn’t seem big enough, because of their time, money and love for me this was a dream fulfilled. Because […]

Last weekend I fulfilled a dream of mine, a recently added dream, but a dream none the less. Once I got the idea in my head it was stuck and I wanted to do it. Lucky for me my parents agreed to my crazy plan! We ran a Duathalon Relay! My Mom started us off, […]
I love both of my Grandma’s very much. But right now I find myself really thinking about my Grandma C, mostly because she is quickly forgetting me…. Grandma C has alztimers, it hit a few years back but its gotten to the point where she has moved into a locked nursing home floor and really […]
