Hell, I don’t even know what it is I don’t even know.
So I thank All The Powers That Be for the gym and the road. Isak Dineson said “The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.“
I choose sweat, ’cause the bar and the miles don’t lie.
I have been MIA I know, but for good reason: I want you to meet my new friends. Actually, they are old friends but now I know what they look like, and it’s all because of setting Intentions. I skipped writing about intentions last year as I was apparently on the two-year plan with getting… Continue Reading
I have spent a pretty big chunk of my life perfecting the art of being hard on myself. I swear, if self-criticizing was an Olympic sport I would always be on the podium (and it better be the gold!). While being very understanding of others (and excusing inexcusable behavior in some) I have a history… Continue Reading

Have you tried every trick in the book to rise and shine but without success? My son William recently suggested the most effective sound an alarm clock could… Continue Reading
I am learning more every day, the newest lesson being “how wi-fi works at 30,000 feet”…….I was flying to Virginia to visit William, Kate and my dad and had this post almost done. I thought it would be so cool to publish from cruising altitude and hit a key; all my words instantly flew off into… Continue Reading
Every mother’s worst nightmare happened; Rebecca was taken. Without going into gory detail, her father and his girlfriend figured out where she was volunteering and showed up, taking her phone from her and getting her into their car.
