75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
I'm not a superstitious person as a rule. If the shortest route is under a ladder I'm taking it, a black cat is just that and I'm a regular crack stepper. One thing I do though is wish on things, blowing out candles or 11:11 or 12:34 on the clock merits a wish. Because why... 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 →
Ahhhh.... Marathon training is done, the days are getting shorter and we're home earlier. I'm back to teaching a couple of evenings a week and back to working on my own without anyone else to keep busy.

This past week had me thinking a lot about ideal conditions. That and the fact that if we waited for ideal conditions to do things we would literally never leave the house! Of course we never seem to need ideal conditions to do the little things or the stuff that isn't really for us. Conditions... Continue Reading →
Bad habits are hard to break and good ones are hard to start. But what if you've gone back to something you've given up or lapsed from something you should be doing I'm here to tell you not all hope is lost! Though it doesn't usually feel that way. When we have a back-slip it... Continue Reading →
Depending on where you live things might be returning to normal. At the very least people might be saying things will return to normal soon. Well normal-ish. That means how we use our time is going to be changing too. For a lot of people time has been a lot more flexible a concept over... Continue Reading →
I think it’s safe to say that most of us are working over 40 hours a week. But they do call it a ‘job’ and ‘work’ for a reason. Truthfully we probably spend more of our conscious hours at work than anywhere else. Yes it would be nice if we all liked our jobs so... Continue Reading →
