I’ve been working since I was 18 years old and I am now 47. I’ll let you do the math. Oh, never mind, I’ll do it for you, that’s 29 years of working. In that time, I’ve loved many of my jobs. I mean the kind of love where you literally jump out of bed …
I currently have 3 young adult males living in my home. Yes, they are my sons, and yes, I love them dearly. When I do the math, I have been living with 3 teenagers AT THE SAME TIME for five years. And in a lot of ways it’s been a long five years. I have, …
There are few things in life I value more than honest communication. It basically goes like this: Jesus, my family, my dogs, honest communication. No, wait, maybe Jesus, my family, my dogs, tacos and THEN honest communication. But it’s big for me. REAL BIG. But the thing about honest communication is that it can be …

It’s a challenging time to be an informed human being. The news is filled with stories of hate, white supremacy, ignorance and abuse. From the #MeToo movement, to foreign entities influencing our elections, to the threat of nuclear war, there’s just not that much good news. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a story …
I’m so happy to be getting to this part of our trip because although I loved running the half, I think cheering for the full may have been my favorite part of marathon weekend! We had an amazing room location at the Boardwalk Villas (literally steps to the lobby) and we loved the newly updated …
It’s finally race day! I was actually quite pleased with my night’s sleep. I know some don’t sleep AT ALL the night before a race, and that makes sense since that wake-up call is coming at 2:30 am and pre-race nerves are notorious sleep robbers. But I woke up ready to get this thing done! …
