Although I’m usually quite humorous when I write (if I do say so myself) today’s topic is really not funny. I’ll cut to the chase: when was the last time you saw your doctor about your skin? If you can’t remember, that’s a problem. Just this morning, I was in the dermatologist’s office yet again […]
3 Friends Every Working Mom Needs
So you’re a working mom, huh? Honestly, I never really liked that term because I was a mom who stayed home for awhile and that was really hard work. So, for the purpose of this post, let’s say you’re a working mom who works outside of the home? Maybe less offensive. Maybe not. But I […]
How Running Changes Over 45
Honestly, I don’t think much about aging. The small lines appearing around my eyes don’t bother me (and I’m terrified of needles so Botox is OUT), I’m OK with the few pounds I’ve gained, and I adore the wisdom and experience that have made me who I am today. I wouldn’t go back to my […]
Work Life Balance and Finding My Middle Gear
For the first time in 20 years, I am not working 40 hours a week. Well, that’s not true, I was unemployed for a bit, but anyone who’s ever been unemployed knows that DOESN’T count. And it’s not temporary. It’s for a couple of YEARS. The plan, Friends, is for me to step back a […]

3 Weeks Until Rock N Roll Savannah
I can hardly believe it, but RnR Savannah half marathon is 3 weeks away! I am excited and nervous (mostly excited) and I wanted to give a quick training update. This last week I didn’t get in all the mileage I wanted but it was for a great reason. I had the opportunity to grab […]
What NOT to Wear When you Run
So, as promised, here goes part 4 of my What No One Tells You About Running Series! Today we are focusing on CLOTHES. And specifically, what NOT to wear when your run. We are very lucky now that there are TONS of great options for runners. I think back to the days when our fore-mothers […]
Sitting in The Big Silent – Why Silence and Solitude Matter
I am in a place I call The Big Silent. Part of being me is an “all forward” or “all retreat” mentality. I don’t seem to have a middle setting. Sometimes I write and am on social media all day – I have so much to say and so much to hear. It’s an open […]
Because I am Worthy
I walked into the store because the boots in the window were super cute. And I needed new boots. But nobody even acknowledged me. There was one other customer in the store, and there were 3 employees. I picked up the boots in the front of the store and looked for a price and there […]
