Today the countdown begins…30 days to my 40th birthday. Last night I pulled out my 40 before 40 list and it made me smile. I haven’t looked at in months and it is fun to see how many I’ve done – climb regularly again, buy a new camera, start writing my book, etc (still have [...]
Strength, fear, and the power of intention…
Forgive my ramblings, as I am still recovering but this post is all about the power of creating an intention, writing it down, and stepping through the fear to get to the other side. Enjoy! Last Friday afternoon I stopped into the local running store for some Hammer Gels and because no one in their [...]
Counting the Moments
I don’t know when it started but recently I’ve begun counting things in years. 17 years since we became friends 16 years since I got this camp stove 31 years since my father sewed these bags for a two-week camping trip cross- country for three kids (ones I still use to pack for camping) 22 [...]
Vulnerability Part Two: Playing with the Wolves
Engrossed in the smells of spring, the hills blanketed in wildflowers, and the pair of deer with their tails brilliant in the morning sun, I lost sight of the trail on my early morning run through the woods near my parents house. My first thought was of vulnerability. My cell was back in the car [...]
A reminder of what matters most…
I woke up this morning in mood I haven’t seen in quite some time and frankly it was ugly. I was crabby, raw, and titch more on the rage side of irritable. I wondered throughout the morning after countless meltdowns what in the world was going on – the whole thing seemed a bit excessive. [...]
Vulnerability Part One: A Tender Thing
Recently, a friend asked for a blog post about vulnerability. My response was of course, no problem, get right on that…and then I promptly turned to my sister and asked her to write it. Yes, I realize the irony and I will go there with my own post – Part 2. For now, my sister [...]
A find…
I’ve been spending small chunks of time over the last few days culling through my photo library (as I am overworking my poor little computer). It is a chore I do not enjoy so when a find like this one comes up it makes it all worth it (I’ll probably be posting a few more [...]
How I turn down the volume
My life has been really “loud” lately. Not necessarily in bad way but a bit noisy for me…a four year old who talks non-stop. Really this is NOT an exaggeration. The day starts with a monologue on what he would like for breakfast and continues to narrate the ENTIRE day from there. While some if [...]
Sanctuary of the Heart
On a misty Monday morning, listening to music and the boys home sick watching movies, reflecting about life and love – a theme that was prominent yesterday. It started with a church sermon titled “Unpacking Love”, continued to be present in my Yoga for Loss workshop, and the day ended in conversation with a friend [...]
A New Chapter
Last week a friend remarked, “You’re entering a new chapter in your life.” A statement that became very real for me over the weekend, which I spent caring for my children and helping my parents out. By Saturday night, I was exhausted and sat in the dark watching a movie with a child up well [...]
