One Word

I have admittedly gone through a bunch of changes in the last year and a half, and most notably in the last year, I would say. (Giving up booze and quitting a legal career in search of another life that is completely uncertain–just to name a “few” changes.) And now, while I sit here on […]

Use YOUR Yardstick

Progress is a funny thing. Progress is also difficult thing to define. (Yes, really). If you are training for triathlons as a wife and mom of three kids, and spending time away from your kids, is that really progress? What if you are working on your marriage so damn hard that you never hit your […]

One of Those Days

I’m having one of those days. Those days where you are doing side planks with leg lifts (um, WTF, owwwww), and you crumple to the floor in tears, for no apparent reason. Well maybe not you, but me.  Me did.  I would call it hormonal, but that’s really not the case. I’ve had a lot of […]

A Homework Assignment for the Last Few Days of 2016

I provided my athletes a homework assignment to complete before the New Year. [I enjoyed doing this exercise so much myself that I felt compelled to share it with my athletes.] But then, I realized that it was really was a great exercise, so I wanted to share for THE WORLD to do  (LOL…okay, maybe the dozen […]

How to Get Back on the Wagon

Teetotaler

And it’s here. Today marks one year without a drink, and I celebrated with my “teetotaler” tattoo. On this day last year, when I decided to quit, I had not crashed at rock bottom. But… I HAD crashed into the bottom so many times, my life was like a trampoline—up up up, boom? ! Up […]

Look Beyond

This morning I ran a half marathon in the Cayman Islands (I know, poor me!). And that report and full amazing trip details to come. But I am writing this post about something else. And not something Cayman Islands-centric, either, although the events of the morning happened to happen on Cayman. This particular something hurts […]

To Meredith on Her 37th Birthday (and a Tony Robbins Thing)

So today, I am 37 years young. I celebrated my birthday a little early–last weekend at the Tony Robbins seminar, Unleash the Power Within, in San Jose, California.  Now, that is a birthday people. And yeah, I’m dead serious. (And yes, in case you were wondering, I have been waiting for several decades to write that blog post […]
