  • 2019-04-25 The Miracle of New Life – Part 1

    This morning I woke up in Lincoln Nebraska. We’re here for a conference Jim is attending and at the present moment he’s at the welcome breakfast and I’m in the exercise room at the hotel. I like to travel but I also love being at home, sleeping in my own bed, and going about my…

    2019-04-24 Today I’m Cutting My Hair

    I’m definitely still adjusting to all the changes in my life. Sometimes I still can’t believe the path I’m on now and sometimes, in a quiet moment when I have space to reflect on my life, I question the Universe and it’s grand plan. It is in those instances that I return to doubt. Life…

    2019-04-23 The One About Souvenirs

    I like to travel and I used to buy souvenirs everywhere I went. When I moved at the end of 2015 and had to box up all my stuff I realized that I had too much “stuff”. If there’s one thing that moving does, it shines a light on all a persons crap. Just prior…

  • 2019-03-22 Deadlines

    (Not a Work Rant.. thank goodness!) Why are deadlines called deadlines and why must we always be setting them? From now on when I start something new, I am going to stuve to have only goals with finishlines -or- how about coastlines instead?! The truth is, I love starting new things and sometimes don’t get…

  • 2019-03-07 The Big 17 🎉🎂❤️

    As far as important days in my history goes, March 7th is one of the biggest for me. I woke up right around midnight, rolled myself over in bed and my water broke. I was 38 weeks pregnant with my daughter Z and not really expecting to give birth to her that day, but that’s…

  • 2019-03-03 Just Swipe Right

    Exactly one year ago today I woke up like it was any other Saturday. I quietly stretched the sleep away and snuck out of the house without disturbing my teenagers still asleep in their beds. I went to the gym and did that thing I do by starting my workout session in the sauna. Then…

  • 2019-02-28 The One About Indecision

    The dry sauna at my gym is open today.. huzzah!! That means I was able to start my “daily” workout routine with some time in the hot box and that, folks, is a very good thing. It’s in that temperature elevated state that the inspiration for today’s post hit me. Of course I’ve written more…

  • 2019-02-26 Tuesday Traffic Report – The DNA Edition

    I’m about 1 month into this new routine and all I gotta say is that I must really love Jim to give up my beautiful house and move to a location where I have to drive in crazy traffic across town to get my kids to school. At this point I’ve figured out all the…
