The power of prayer.

by

As I get older I begin to realize more & more the power of prayer. That so often, when it feels as though we are powerless to DO anything, simply praying for strength & peace for others can at least let them know they are not alone. Yesterday I wrote about the community I found at BlogHer. Today I look to that community to give back. Jen, who is always there for us cheering us ... Continue Reading

Viewer mail: Spotting 101 & Losing the Guilt.

by

Hey Miz. I know you are a big weight lifter and I had a story I wanted to share and also ask you about.  I was at the gym the other morning and a guy asked me if I could spot him (Im a woman. I also was pretty flattered because I must look stronger than I think!).  I said no because I wasnt entirely sure what to do.  How do I know how to spot someone. First, thanks for calling me a big weight ... Continue Reading

BlogHer: my weekend in pictures.

Subtitle: The words? They coming on Friday. First I needed to decide if... my new tee was (fingerquote) appropriate (unFQ) to bring along-----or not. Then I headed to the airport and was way EARLY.     As usual. For some reason there's just something I *love* about the Austin airport (come visit! we'll hit The Salt Lick!). I bought some snacks (please to note that I ... Continue Reading

It's still a First Person Friday, People. I may be at BlogHer (watch for my TWEETS and PICTURES) but Im totally here in spirit via my dad and am completely touched he was willing to step in and post for me today. I may not always be hauling my tattoo'dass self down the path he'd imagined for me yet he supports me 100% none the less. Always. I LOVE YOU DAD! As I read MizFit I ... Continue Reading

Operation Beautiful follow up post.

subtitle: I havent forgotten the questions you left me in the comments. Did you tell your daughter what you were doing? Or is she too young (I don't have kids yet)? I want to hear more about what you talked to your daughter about (during Operation Beautiful). She is the same age as my daughter. Ever since I regaled you with how the Tornado & I blanketed Austin with missives of love the ... Continue Reading

Optimism? Pessimism? What’s Yer ‘Mism? (video/giveaway post).

by

Thanks so much for all your comments on Friday. I had a fantastic family-filled birthday Saturday (one which started with a kind tribute-post that had me LAUGHING OUT LOUD). This comment from Friday's post stuck in my mind throughout the weekend: Sounds as though you have already chosen to view your life through the prism of gratitude and happiness. I do think that's true. I adore my ... Continue Reading

First Person Friday.

by

I had a fleeting thought that today could be an uber-serious post chock full of musings & mullings regarding the fact I turn forty tomorrow. FLEETING. EPHEMERAL. The thing is Ive nary a musing or a mulling in my head. Im thankful I feel better today than I did at thirty. I'm more energetic, centered, and plain ole comfortable in my own skin. The fact that the aforementioned ... Continue Reading

MizFit’s live taste test (video post).

by

While Im always the one-shoot-wonder I knew, since I was opening the bag on camera, there was NO OPTION for a second shoot. I have to admit I was a little nervous. Not so much that Id stammer (totally do. always do.) but that my reaction might NOT be one any pork rind company would appreciate. Please to enjoy my Five Days Left In My 30's Trying Things I Never Thought I Would Monday ... Continue Reading
