I dont believe in digital fasts.

by

(wacky hair. serious face. lots to learn.) Once upon a long while ago I owned a boutique training studio. I was young. I was naive. With the benefit of hindsight it's clear how more I learned from my clients (life-wisdom) than they learned from me (sets, reps and stretching). As with most gyms (& when groups of women gather although I like to believe it's changing) a regular topic of ... Continue Reading

Listen To Your Mother.

by

When I auditioned/was accepted into Listen To Your Mother Austin I somehow did so under the false impression it was all about me. The child was little (six) and while she was excited to come and hear me read the *real* highlight of the event for her was there were gummy worms involved (I still have no idea from whence those came). I thought the day was all about me and for me. The royal ... Continue Reading

5 reasons to commit to and walk a marathon.

by

Walk a marathon with me? She enquired. Hells yes! I responded. I agreed. I asked. I trained. I laughed. I flew. I walked. I loved.   1. You'll realize (again) how you think differently from the rest of the world. Even my hardcore runner friends thought I was nuts. They told me *repeatedly* how they'd never be capable of walking 26.2 miles. They told me ... Continue Reading

5 steps to finding forgiveness.

by

Recently we had a life-debacle which, though there were silver-linings to be found, left the Child and me struggling with the notion of forgiveness. We're not ones to hold grudges, yet we couldn't quite figure out how to embrace our feelings so we could process and move past them. We wrote about our struggles. We kept ourselves occupied with frivolous stuff. We both pretended we'd moved on ... Continue Reading

My experience with an intuitive reading.

by

A few weeks ago I shared my excitement around having my first reading with a spiritual intuitive. I was confident none of you would laugh (you're my people!), yet surprised at the number who confided you've always wanted to do the same and hadn't. Instead of being on the receiving end of Oooh you're going to adore it! as I'd anticipated I was inundated with questions both before and ... Continue Reading

If at first you dont SUCCEED? Quit!

by

Other teams ATE HER BUBBLES! all last summer. I'm here to announce The Child has quit swim team. (collective gasp!) I'm here to share I encouraged it. (louder gasp!) And are you ready for the last part? I cheered her on because I'm big believer in quitting. A quit'advocate if you will. A woman who's BRAZEN enough to leap to her feet and announce she doesn't agree with the adage: A ... Continue Reading
