New Year's resolutions get a bad wrap but as long as you set specific and achievable goals then I think they can have a place in everyone's life. I’m a big believer in resolutions because I've done some pretty life-changing stuff at this time of year. 2020 should have changed your perspective on things. If... Continue Reading →
The Financial Case for Fitness
We think of fitness as an expensive endeavor both in terms of money and time. I would argue though that it is not. Not in the short term and certainly not in the long term. It’s true that you will spend more on gear, memberships and the like than you would if you do nothing,... Continue Reading →
Drinking and Driving is Alive and Well in my Town Anyway
This is an article I wrote right after starting my blog way back in 2017, but the pictures are from last week. I wanted to wait to publish it until more people would be likely to see it. I've updated it a bit but this is where my head was then and it's not much... Continue Reading →

Someone messed up here this week and so ya’ll are getting some every second Wednesday content on a Sunday. Sorry! Even though the only reliable fun thing to do in 2020 so far is track packages here is why you might not want to ‘add to cart’ quite so often. I am not zero waste... Continue Reading →
Why Do We Talk Ourselves Out of Even Trying?
I want to be fearless, always jump in with both feet and tackle anything the world puts in front of me. In other words I would love to be a bad a$$ bitch! I’m not though… Thoughts like “I can’t do that,” and “that’s too hard” have often held me back. Here’s the thing though... Continue Reading →
Weekend Motivation 149
Right now I'm writing about why and how we talk ourselves out of things before we ever even start. So spoiler alert you can look forward to reading all about that in the very near future.
