Blog reading: fun relaxation or necessary evil?

by

  Last week at Fitbloggin (I cannot believe its been a week! Is it reunion time yet?) I overheard many conversations which went something like this: DUDE! I love your blog! I dont comment a lot because I read from my phone whenever I can but when I can read it I love it. Or I suck. Im so overwhelmed by my goggle reader I've started just deleting everything. Im sorry I havent read your ... Continue Reading

Mattering.*

by

  September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. My friend Sue passed away from ovarian cancer 3 months post-diagnosis. I could blather at you about what an amazing person she was, but quite frankly even if I went that blather'y route Im confident I'd forget a facet of the amazingness which made her *HER.* She was one of those people who *really* listened and you always left her ...

Three reasons Im *for* the family meal.

by

  A few weeks ago Ren Man, Tornado & I were ambling around the mall when I spotted a cluster of kids. They looked around 15 (Im horrible at guessing ages. They could have been 12 or 18...) and all of them were clearly, obviously and SHOCKINGLY high. I could ramble here about how I never did drugs or yammeryammer about how I was the one who offered to drive & didnt ... Continue Reading

Physical vision boards VS Pinterest.

by

  It was about twelve years ago I discovered the power of vision boards. (and gratitude boards. Im not focusing on those today but, in my opinion, they are a necessary partner to the vision board.) I was at a place in my life where I knew I had goals and dreams----I just wasnt exactly sure what they were any more. I'd sold my training studio, uprooted/moved to Texas and had zero ...

Three reasons I liked The OOGIELOVES.

by

First, HAPPY LABOR DAY to my America readers. I had no plan to post (and in a sense Im not as this post doesnt quite fit my typical blog musings.) as I have a JAM PACKED day ahead: FREE YOGA, hanging out friends & family-time. After our experience OOGIELOVE'ing yesterday, however, I felt compelled to share. You know, just in case you find yourself TODAY in the situation I was ... Continue Reading

OIL PULLING part DEUX.

by

  Time certainly does FLY when youre gagging over clumpy bit of oily goodness in your mouth having fun, huh? I cant believe it has been six weeks since I started my love affair with oil pulling (late to the oily fun? some tips, tricks and WHY to pull can be found here.) And, while the phrase love affair may be a bit of a stretch, Ive stuck with it.  I am sticking with it.  You ... Continue Reading

Living not blogging: back to the second wave edition.

by

I cant lie. Whether you want it or not, Ill probably be back later to post thoughts, pics and a random blog update on the Tornado's launch into first grade. Until then Im off to stretch, fuel-up and prepare for our SECOND WAVE. Please to suffer my navel gazing enjoy this reflection post. I loved kinder. Im sad it's over. And yet--Im thoroughly adoring getting to know my girl as she grows ... Continue Reading

It’s summer junk food DETOX time!

by

Ive touched upon this a little in my blogs. If we hang out in real life (& by "real life" I may or may not mean facebook, twitter, or texting) Ive yammered at you about it a lot. It was an awesome summer here.  I ADORED all the TornadoTime.  I've LOVED our STAYcation and general frolicking. Over the past few days Ive noticed how, uh, off-track we've gotten. Sugar has sneaked her ... Continue Reading

I hate quotes.

by

  I used to have a friend who would flood my in-box with quotes. This was long before twitter, eons before Pinterest and back in the day when FACEBOOK was perhaps a nascent idea but didnt yet exist. I read the quotes. I even kinda like a few of them. I was baffled, however, by how much *she* loved loved the quotes & how *she* found such motivation in other people's ... Continue Reading

Six steps to clean eating.

by

We all know how easy it is to pull the “starting Monday I shall” or “on the first of the month I will…” & yet we're all painfully aware (in our hearts. where it counts.) this whole journey of life is really about starting right.this.moment. No matter the day or the date or, really, the TIME of day. And, in my opinion, no matter the goal. Any time is the RIGHT TIME to stop making ... Continue Reading
