In August, during our beach vacation, I did just a little beach combing, along the twenty yards or so nearest where my kids were playing, and, as occurs every time I’m in my heavenly happy place, I was struck by how many analogies to the walk of life are present in nature, and the ocean [...]

Where My Menaces At? (The importance of community to my fitness journey)
I belong to a Facebook group called Denis’s Menaces. It’s a Peloton “tribe” of folks who all are big fans of Denis Morton, the long haired, knife jawed, Spiritual Gangster cycling and Yoga instructor, who has the best taste in music i have ever experienced and a sense of humor that often has me in [...]
Wellness Wednesday 10.09.19
Yes, I’m late. Blargh. I have good reason, though. On Wednesday I was in the middle of a wellness slump-I felt like I was in some sort of crazy vortex, really. I’m gonna share with you how I got there, though, because it’s super important to my learning and growing process, and maybe yours too! [...]
October Goals
Once again, I discover a blog post I thought I had published is half written! Sorry for the lateness of this! I’m just going to adapt the post titled “September Goals”, so I can share what I worked on last month, and what I will be focusing on this coming month. I’d like to share [...]
Last 90 days of 2019
So, I’ve seen a lot of the bloggers/writers/ social media folks in my Instagram Feed talking about their #Last90days plan for 2019, and I love it!

I’m going to also keep it pretty [...]
I am not my best friend’s best friend.
And, maybe for the first time ever, I’m ok with that. I was thinking about this the other day, because of my husband’s relationship with his best friend. They both obviously have other friends, but for the past 14 years almost, these two have been bestest buddies. And at times I’ve been jealous because for [...]
Fall 2019: Balancing training and recovery with a new system and new tools
Obviously I have written here more about my fitness journey than any other topic. It's been a huge part of my personal growth journey, and even though it's been rocky and slow and frustrating at times, especially the past few years, it have learned so much- not just about food and exercise, but about myself, [...]
Fall 2019: Nutrition and supplements to heal and to support my goals
I've shared a lot recently about how my approach to nutrition has evolved, and I've shared in the past about the supplements I've tried in order to heal my body and, by extension, support healing in my mental health. As I've continued to educate myself on the physical effects of stress, hoping to figure out [...]
Some Starting Steps Toward a Healthier Lifestyle
I promised some ideas of things you can do to start yourself on the path to being healthier in general, and losing excess weight, if that’s something you need or desire to do. I’m going to try to break them into categories, based on what’s easiest, some that are a bit more aggressive, and also [...]
