Exercise is not my passion.

by

  Exercise isn't my passion. This fact will come as no surprise to most of you. I workout.  Consistently.  I have for close to two decades.  I have no plans to stop. That said, when we (the royal) meet up at blogger conferences or other social media events I'm always the first to announce EXERCISE IS NOT MY PASSION. For me the word passion is indicative of something you'd ... Continue Reading

Six fitness lessons Ive learned from my child.

by

Last week was heaven. Five full Tornado & Me days which were reminiscent of all our time before Kinder started. We laughed, we cried (seriously. all that one-on-one time was NOT without its bickering!) it was better than Cats. What I loved most was the fact we didn't travel. We hung here & just spent time together.  Time which caused me to marvel at how she's matured & ... Continue Reading

It’s this simple and it’s this scary.

"Im sorry. You're just not a priority right now." "Im sorry.  This just isnt a priority right not." I saw this post last night before I unplugged for Shabbat and it resonated with me. And, since Ive rambled here about 2012 being the year I strive to live my priorities, I wanted to share. The exercise they suggest is an uncomfortable one (the mere thought of turning down an event or ... Continue Reading

Gratitude boards & six year olds.*

by

(The Tornado's gratitude board mid-creation.) Since she's been old enough to register her surroundings the Tornado has been curious about my vision & gratitude boards. Her questions began as simple ones (What this is?) and have recently grown more specific (Who is this? Why is he on here? Do I know him?!). Although we've always stressed the importance of gratitude it's pretty much only ... Continue Reading

We cannot have it all.

by

This weekend, as I worked on an (assigned) article about having it all, I returned to a conclusion I'd reached long ago. We cannot have it all.  It's impossible. Or, more aptly put, I re-concluded there's no way *I* can have it all. (if youre thinking this wasnt a popular stance with my editor you'd be assuming correctly.) The "all" I was assigned to ponder was work-success, ... Continue Reading
