So, if you missed last Tuesday’s update, please go here and get caught up! But in case you’re busy, here’s the bottom line: I am going to spend one year (starting in June of 2018) traveling, writing, meeting people and experiencing new things. The purpose of this time is for me to decide what I […]
The Next Chapter
I am 47 years old. I feel it’s important that we start there because it is, in many ways, the perfect age. Scratch that. Not in many ways. It IS the perfect age. At least it is for me. I’m getting ready to enter a new chapter. Already I can hear the orchestra warming up […]
Going Back To Work When You Have Kids
(dedicated to all the women I know who are here. This is JUST for you.) Dear Friend Who Just Went Back To Work, You know who you are. Your kiddos are getting older and you’ve just started back to work! I’m so proud of you. This is a big time for all of you […]
How and When To See a Licensed Counselor
I’ve made no bones about the fact that I’ve been in and out of professional therapy for the past 5 years. It’s become a vital part of my own journey and truly has opened my eyes to a lot of things about myself and others. As my current therapist says, we’re all in some state […]

No one would know we existed, what we wrote, or that we toiled at computers trying to find the words to express the feelings in our hearts and in our […]
Kids Today! What’s The Matter With These Kids Today!
Do you remember the song from Bye, Bye Birdie?? Here’s the clip in case (by the way, love the line about how will we beat the Russians. Yikes.) I feel like everyday when I open my FB feed there are at least 10 articles written by expert Hoody Hah from the University of Know It […]
A Quick Update on Running and On Life
I haven’t written in literally weeks and I can’t really give you a solid answer as to why. It’s not just writer’s block (I’ve had that and I typically know how to address it) but more of a lack of anything interesting to say. Oh, wait, that may be writer’s block. Huh. I’m in a […]
2017 Star Wars Half The Dark Side!
Just returned from an AMAZING weekend at Walt Disney World, playing (mostly) and running (a little) for the Run Disney Star Wars Half The Dark Side race and we had an AMAZING TIME! The parks were a little more crowded then last year but I think that’s because it was the Sunday after Easter so […]
5 Things To Pack When You Run Disney
It’s almost time! I leave Friday for the Star Wars, The Dark Side Half at Walt Disney World and I seriously CANNOT wait. Who remembers this commercial? Uh, YEAH, that’s me about right now. I actually HATE packing. Hate it. Every time. I love traveling but hate packing. Makes no sense. The only way I […]
