Living Like I’m Dying
Before any assumptions are made that title does not reflect an inner desire for me to unleash my dark, mysterious and brooding 16-year-old past self. Continue reading Living Like I’m Dying
The Great Hair Vortex
Have you ever had one of those days where you see yourself in a store window or a car mirror and catch yourself thinking “Man, I am having a GREAT hair day!!”.
What follows after that is a raise at work, the house being clean when you get home, dinner being ready, you get foot rubs and you find out that all 6 of your numbers match the ones drawn on 6/49?

Living In Color
“Your shoes make me all kinds of happy.”
This is a statement that can be heard passing through my lips frequently. It’s the color of the runners these days that gets me every time. The best thing is they keep making the shoes brighter, more colorful and I KEEP GETTING HAPPIER!!

Open Letter to My Gym
Dear Gym,
I have fallen in love with you. When I see you in the morning light I find I have to catch my breath and my heart starts racing. When I hear the bustling sounds of energy it helps me reach down and find my own motivation to start the day. I look forward to seeing the familiar faces and to meeting new acquaintances while enjoying everything you have to offer.
Perfectly Imperfect
The journey that I am on will never truly be done. I will reach my “goal weight”, I will meet the challenges I set for myself head on, I will manage to organize my home and my personal space but I am constantly evolving and changing. What worked for me tomorrow will look different in the morning light today.
