75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Let's talk about the coming season for a moment. A few months back I talked about taking the time to slow down and recharge. I also pointed out that it's important to be comfortable in that slower space. Well, it's now time to start putting the work in to prepare for the upcoming spring, summer... Continue Reading →
It's finally February!!! Not that February is like a great month, it does have Valentine's Day if that's your thing but it means that January is over! Call it seasonal disorder, the winter blues or just the low point of the year but lots of us, including me, find this time of year tough. The... Continue Reading →
We had a not THAT terrible winter storm last Friday night and our power was out into Monday morning! Let me tell you I was NOT impressed! I am not a camper at all and 6 hours into the 54 hour outage I told everyone not to even bring up the idea of camping before... Continue Reading →

We’re gettin' all sorts of spicy up in here this week! We’re often told to ‘let it go, be polite, that life is too short and never to burn a bridge along the way.’ Is that always true though? Nothing dramatic at all is going on in my life at the moment but I did... Continue Reading →
We are getting into our truly busy time of year, 12 -14 hour days and all the days it's not raining. Even when we're efficient with our time there are always a couple of other places we should be. Truthfully we need to be busy this time of year just in case we aren't in... Continue Reading →
I'm lucky to live on the ocean both when I was little and now. For a few years when I didn't I went to visit it often. It was only a 15 minute drive outside the little town I went to university. Driving by the coast was the perfect way to clear my head. If... Continue Reading →
