I have a birthday tradition I do every year on my special day: I throw down a mega long meditation-convo-thank-you-bonanza to the universe. I say my “gratefuls” as I like to call them. I put in my shopping order to the universe along the lines of,”Hey….do you think you could hook this up for me?” […]
It’s my birthday tomorrow. The big 44. Power 4 to the 4. Bring it on 44. The number I dreamed about as a child. My fave number. As in 4+4=8=Infinity. My power year. It’s also International No Diet Day. I think it is positively delicious that this empowering day falls on my birthday every year […]
My dad can bust some seriously creative moves from the other side. I can always picture him grinning when he gets my attention. He passed away when I was 24 and has had some very unique ways of saying hello over the years. Last year I was frustrated beyond belief trying to get better. I […]
This winter rocked. Shovelling was awesome. Clearing off my car repeatedly was thrilling. Chipping ice off my windows was fantastic. Digging out my car tires was joy filled. Repeatedly clearing my walk made me smile. I am not sure if this winter had more snow than most, was colder than normal, or I was just […]
Hello. How are you? This simple phrase keeps getting me in trouble. When I call a service number, I want to ask the person how he or she is doing before I start yammering on about what I need. I think it’s only polite. People keep getting tense and even a little angry – edgy […]
I love athletic lines with solid positive energy behind them. And it’s really important to me that companies know that fitness and athletes come in all shapes and sizes. I really appreciate the great vibes of Katie K Active and Reitmans whom I partnered up with on my recent Reclaim My 5K event at GoodLife […]
I’ve had a few days to reflect upon my Reclaim My 5K project – or race if you rather. I didn’t think I would go through so many emotions before, during and after one week of walking! I find the daily in’s and out’s of living with autoimmunity and gluten ataxia to be fascinating – […]
I’m halfway there and then some! Insert happy dance here. I have been smiling all week but I am not going to lie…I could be in bed every night by 9:00! I guess I haven’t realized how many breaks I have been giving myself while out walking trying to build up my stamina. But I […]
In 2011, I was rocking my workouts. I was on fire. I had just segued from twice weekly boot camp sessions to almost daily gym visits. I was really proud of myself for being the only woman in the history of the boot camp sessions to not participate in the monthly measurements and weigh-ins. For […]
I have seen several articles lately referring to the Paleo way of eating as a “fad diet.” Whoa! Anyone who knows me knows I don’t believe in diets. Not for this babe. Weigh-ins? Counting calories? Being obsessed with the numbers on a scale? No thank you. I say good day. Buh bye. I have got […]
