Because there is nothing more exciting then hearing about somebody else’s medical issues, I thought I’d dedicate a whole post to it! Just kidding. I’m going to make this short and brief and my only purpose in sharing is to shed some light on autoimmune disorders. Wait, nope, scratch that, I know nothing. I truly […]
All About The Running! Half Marathon Training Update
I am way overdue for an update on my training for the Run Disney Star Wars Half-Marathon, The Dark Side! There are rumors a’swirling that this race may be going away (or re-themed) which makes me super sad since I love the theme and the time of the year, and was hoping to make this […]
How To Raise an Emotionally Healthy Teenager
Did I get you with the title? Sorry. That really wasn’t fair. Because some of you, undoubtedly, got here because you saw that title and were all excited. You know how I know that? Because if I saw that title, I would get all excited. Or, at least, I used to. This post will be […]
Where I Stay For WDW Marathon Weekend and Why!
I was trying to add up how many Run Disney Walt Disney World Marathon Weekends I’ve participated in and I THINK it’s 6. I’ve missed the last two and have felt serious FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). So much so, that just today I pulled the trigger on my early entry option through Disney Vacation […]

Division, hate, misunderstanding, name calling and dualism are ruling the day. I’m doing all the helpful, normal things – I’m reading the information, calling my […]
A Middle-Age Girls Guide to Perimenopause
Remember the video we all watched when we were in the 7th or 8th grade? You know, the one about Our Changing Bodies? The boys had their version, we had ours, everybody uncomfortably giggled, hopefully learned something, and walked out scared to death? Yeah, well, Ladies, if you’re in the 40 – 50 year old […]
The Myth of The Magical Conversation
I am a product of television and movies. I watched a large amount of both as a child and although I don’t think it made me a bad person or flawed my character, it did give me certain ideas about life and relationships that I have come to believe are somewhat unrealistic. The most damaging […]
When They Cancelled the Disney World Half And Twitter Ran it Anyway
I am not at the Walt Disney World marathon weekend today and I am so sad to be missing! At first, I was sad for all the usual reasons, but then this happened: In an abundance of caution, WDW Resort has cancelled all running events 1/7/17 due to weather conditions.
