Wow, it has been a while! Life kind of came at me from a number of different directions, and for a time there, something had to go. Blogging was what went! It’s been a great time. One of deepening my walk with God through some very interesting relationships, one of actually losing weight (Woohoo!), getting somewhat back to my walking, and moving forward...

Isn’t it funny how sometimes you can go about your day, all is well, and then some little thing happens and WHAM! Major over-reaction, emotions in a whirl, you are consumed by whatever it is that happened and it goes around and around in your head like a dog taking down a rat?

Last Monday was my birthday. As usual, my family was ridiculously generous with the most exciting gift being a “Blendtec Blender” – Woohoo! We’re drinking a LOT of meals around here, LOL.

A few months ago I decided to try again. I started by simply setting my alarm every morning for 4:00 am and then just shutting it off. By the end of the month I was often...

Back in 2008 I walked my very first marathon. I was over-trained, burned out, inexperienced, and not totally prepared for what was coming. I also didn’t realize that over half the marathon was on a pretty steep grade uphill! I came in second to last, in tears, after 7 hours, 33 minutes and 59 seconds. I was in rough shape! Since then I’ve wanted to...
