Catching up

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...

Rejection

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? This has happened to me twice this week in my business. I think it’s fair to...

Blendtec Bliss

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. What a blast as we discover the world of raw food, juicing, and delicious soups! I feel like I can cook! Not everything we try is healthy – we had...

However, throw a...

Polyphasic Attempt Number 3

I’ve discussed my desire to sleep Polyphasically in previous blog posts but as much as I want to do this, I struggle with my ability to actually throw myself out of my bed in the morning. 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...

MARATHON!!!

MARATHON!!!

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...
