We apologize too much. And I mean waaaaay too much. As women, we are even worse than men. We apologize for everything. And most of the time, we don’t even realize we are doing it. How often do you find yourself doing any of these things? “Oops! Sorry!” You just bumped into someone in the […]

Yes. I know. I’m late to the party. Like, way late. Story of my life, actually. I’m not just the one that shows up fashionably late, I show up late enough that I know darn well I probably missed the highlight of the night. Unless the party has drag queens, then I’m totally the first

I have always been the queen procrastinator — it’s like my life is one perpetual snooze button. I was the one that would spend my college nights in the library doing research for months, but when it came time to writing the actual paper, I generally started it after dinner the night before it was

The Manitou Incline has been on my Colorado bucket list for several years, after a few of my friends tackled it as part of a cross fit workout they were doing. I remember the first time I heard about it—a trail, less than a mile long, but with a 2,000 foot elevation gain—my response was,

It’s been a rough week. For those of you that don’t know, my dad struggles with Severe Mental Illness (SMI). The exact diagnosis still seems to be debatable at this point, but his SMI has been debilitating for the past 20 years and it destroyed our family on levels I never thought possible. But something
It’s a good thing that they don’t have protective services for blogs. It’s almost unbelievable that I’ve gone almost three months without a new post. Although not surprising. I’ve been busy. Like, majorly super busy with life’s constant surprises. Back when I kicked this blog back into gear, I had a very specific idea of

Last year, I started participating in the Whole Life Challenge, mostly to support a friend build a team, but also thinking it would help up my fitness game. I ended up getting so much more out of it—I learned a lot about food (and sugar addiction, which I’ll write about another day), exercise and simple
