Living Life YOUR Way
Yesterday, I had an incredible podcast interview (should air this week) with Lauren Handel Zander, author of the new book, “Maybe It’s You: Cut the Crap. Face Your Fears. Love Your Life.” This episode will air shortly – but listener warning – and READER warning – do NOT read this book if you don’t want […]
Moving Towards a Mess
Someone once looked at my life, my habits and my food—and their reaction was: I don’t think I can help you. I hadn’t thought about that statement at the time, really. Because for so long, I sort of felt like I was unreachable, unworthy, un-help-able… I sort of glossed over the idea that someone else agreed with […]
It’s Good to Be a Bear
So I wrote an article a while back in Triathlete about when to know if you should say “no” to that race on the calendar. Decisions, decisions. As I was thinking about Chattanooga 70.3 (coming up in three weeks), I began to wonder what in the world I was doing with planning to race that. […]
The One Thing Today

Starting & Pain. Health & Happy.

Apparently, she learned how to make this do-it-yourself at-home slime from a friend, and now, I am finding empty bottles of conditioner (?), glue and salt all over the house. “No,” she said. I looked at her. What do you say to that kind of bold-faced […]
How to Get Back on the Wagon
Here’s a simple way to get “back on the wagon,” after a month (or a lifetime) of eating “bad food” and drinking “bad things.” Just don’t get on a wagon in the first place. (I’ll explain.) THERE IS NO WAGON. I hear, every so often, someone chime in and say: I have fallen off the wagon, and […]
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 […]
