Currently, Lately I've felt crappy about feeling crappy. So much happening in the world. So many friends challenged with real struggles. And yet *still* I wanna whine. A lot. About small crap which feels like big crap. And that's OK. I wont proffer the #firstworldproblems disclaimer frequently used in social media either. As, right or wrong, I live in the first world and ... Continue Reading
National Adoption Month
May 2006. For the first few years of this blog (back in the MizFit days when the tagline was ...at the CORE we're all the same.) I never mentioned my daughter's adoption. A smattering of readers had come here with me via my previous Guatemama blog. More than few readers (Id imagine? no one ever said anything) noticed our personalities matched a bit more than our outsides. I never ... Continue Reading
Fear and aging. A 40 word guest post.
fearless and 93. After my post asking why we work to avoid feeling fear I received the email below from my Great Aunt. I read it so many times, I finally asked her if I could share. It's forty words. It's one of the most powerful and thought provoking guest posts I've had. <3 Aging quiets fears and acceptance enters. I've learned to accept what I cannot change. My losses are ... Continue Reading
Im terrified of GLUTEN.
this is how I feel when I'm gluten-free! I've noticed gluten free eating in the news again and this time for not so fabulous reasons. It seems restaurants (exhausted by dieters with gluten free! demands who end meals with gluten-filled, decadent desserts) have grown slack in being certain foods are truly prepared gluten free. While a it's a terrible thing for restaurants to do, I can see ... Continue Reading
We cant make time.
time together is always well spent. A few weeks ago we "fell back" to standard time and, we all joked, gained an hour. In my pre-marriage/pre-child days I seized this gift of time to focus on changes I wanted to make in my life. What would I really do if I had an extra hour each day? Would I use that time to sleep? Read? Marathon TV-watch? Volunteer? I'd challenge myself with the ... Continue Reading
Think Better, Live Better.
Was this post foreshadowing? I'll never tell. Am I unbelievably nervoucited (as the child STILL says)? I'll give that a hell yes! Am I being deliberately vague in effort to generate excitement? No, I blame that on my writing style. I'm thrilled to announce I've been invited to speak at the Think Better, Live Better conference January in Austin. The brainchild of Marc ... Continue Reading
6 Life Lessons We Can Learn From Children.
The face and spirit which greet me each morning. My child is an early riser. She's consistently woken up around 530am since she began sleeping through the night. Friend often ask: Why don't you tell her to stay in her room until 630 or 7? The photo above is my reason why. She wakes up happy. She wakes up curious. She wakes up eager to discover what amazing thing the day will ... Continue Reading
Nutiva Refined Coconut Oil Pulling.
This post was sponsored by Nutiva®. While I was compensated to write this post, all opinions are my own. I've been a coconut oil puller for about three years now. I discovered the concept accidentally (thank you Facebook) and, although it sounded a tad icky, was intrigued enough to give it a try. Here’s the short version of exactly what oil pulling is (longer version here): Swishing ... Continue Reading

Click on the image below to see me do what I do on KXAN TV's Studio 512. During the brief clip host Amanda & I chat about women supporting women and the importance of fitting in fitness by (waitforit) doing What We ... Continue Reading
5 healthy habits for beating energy VAMPIRES.
I love this vampire gurl! As we've established I've jettisoned the java. As we've also established, I did it only because my machine broke (pour some grounds out for our fallen homie) and I realized even without my morning jolt I wasn't appreciably more tired. I was just tiredtired. It seems we're all tired tired. We're coming off the Halloween High, gearing up for holidays-to-come, ... Continue Reading
