Weeks 2 & 3 – Training continues! (New gear tested)

What am I thinking? Half marathon or marathon? What am I capable of? Why am I even trying this? Have a lost my mind? Well…maybe! Week 2 & 3 are complete and the dreaded Saturday 7 mile run went better than expected. I managed to continue with 4-5 days of Burn Bootcamp Five Forks and…

Week 1 – What am I thinking?

What am I thinking? Half marathon or marathon? What am I capable of? Why am I even trying this? Have a lost my mind? Well…maybe! I just completed Week 1 of a 16 week marathon training. To be perfectly honestly with you all, I have never ran more than 8.5 miles in my life. NEVER!…

After the Hurt – Take Responsibility for Healing Yourself

On a recent rainy day, I found the perfect little place with the best pour over coffee to sit and let the words flow. My goodness it feels good to write again. Work has consumed me for so many months, that I have not had the extra time.  As you all know, I tend to…

Relax and enjoy the day. (Downtown Greenville, SC edition)

After a commitment yesterday morning, I was determined to spend the rest of the day taking it easy.  I went downtown with a tribe member to simply enjoy the open air Saturday Morning Market.

The Dark Cloud and the Rising Sun

I have written and tried to publish this on several occassions. There were times I wrote out of anger. There were times I wrote due to the pain I experienced. But every time, I walked away from writing. Each time, hoping to find the joy I once had in blogging. Not out of anger, pain,…

Easy Like a Sunday Morning: (Series 12) Can it be easy on a flu day?

My sweet #LittleLove has the flu. Yup, for the second year in a row, she has been hit with this nasty, unwelcome virus. I spent another morning checking temperatures, giving medicines, and disinfecting light switches, door knobs, the couch, her pencils, rulers…if I think she touched it, I tried to disinfect it! This mommy has never…

There She Goes… (Music by The La’s)

“There she goes There she goes again Racing through’ my brain And I just can’t contain This feelin’ that remains” It has been a busy few weeks. Thanksgiving with friends and family, our Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party, sports commitments, getting ready for Christmas… you know the drill. Last Friday, I picked up my #LittleLove…

Appreciate Your Friendships…NOW!

These two silly gals are kind of my everything! Short and sweet… TRUE friends make us happy. They allow us to be silly, they laugh with us, cry with us on bad days, and stand by us on the truly tough days. They accept us despite the faults we possess. They are invaluable. I have been so…
