The weather is warming up and fruit is coming into season. May has arrived, the promise of summer is finally on the horizon. At the start of this year, I was training for a half marathon and feeling optimistic about swimsuit season. With some recent bumps in the road, my workout regimen has given way to comfort food…
Recently, life has been a series of sprints and pauses. Just as I find inspiration or gain momentum, something derails me. I find myself craving the power to organize the gifts, surprises and struggles in my life. I suppose this is something we all go through. From where I’m sitting, it seems futile to resist what the universe presents…
I’m taking a long weekend away to spend time with my Mister and his amazing family. It has been a few months since I’ve had a day off and I’m really looking forward to wearing flip flops, having messy hair, reading a few good books and cutting up my new magazines…
Hello my sweet friends! I’m thinking of you and missing our time together. Tonight I spent a few moments browsing blogs and pinning inspirations. It felt great to do a little catch up. My first 1/2 marathon is just 5 days & 7 hours away. I underestimated the time and energy running required. Now that training is nearly complete…
You ought to know that my silent stillness is in lieu of incomplete thoughts and half-written ramblings. The time and intention it takes to compose a cohesive blog post has eluded me for most of this budding year, and since many of previous posts are about wrangling time, juggling priorities and finding a way to marry the two, it seems unfair to share the same sentiment again…
Hello my dear friends. I hope your 2011 is off to an amazing, remarkable start. Mine has come in like a whirlwind and I’ve really tried to lean towards the challenges and opportunities that have come my way…
Today marks the first day of my new year. I let these past two days be a transition—to mourn the end of 2010 and celebrate the start of 2011. This week I’m setting the expectation to have very few expectations. How are you starting this year? Are you off with a bang or easing into it?
Wow, I can’t believe that today is November 1st! This year is moving much quicker than I expected. Maybe I have more on my plate than years past, or maybe the world is rotating at a faster rate. Either way, I feel both elated and overwhelmed about these final two months of 2010…
I’m excited about today. My company is sponsoring a corporate outing that feels more like a field trip for grownups than anything else! We are loading onto a bus early in the morning, driving 3 hours out of town and stopping at a Dave & Busters to eat lunch and play arcade games…
This past week was a delightful whirl, but I miss connecting with you. I’m excited to share that yesterday I had the chance to meet my mentor and friend, Gwen Bell, IRL! We’ve been emailing, talking, and meeting via video chat for the past few months. Finally meeting face to face was a lot like when old friends get together…
