Mala’s and Meditation go together like cookies and milk. Since meditation is something I practice regularly malas have become a slight obsession. Because I’m feeling craft these days, I decided to make one. Well one became some and I don’t really see an end in sight. Inspiration for a new one always comes to me […]

I forgot how skinny felt. There is a quote I’ve seen around, probably on Pinterest, that says, “Nothing Tastes as Good as Skinny Feels”. That never really made any sense to me. Maybe because I’ve been blessed with height and weight just doesn’t look the same on me as it might look on other people. […]
DIY – Mason Jar Dying
In my past life I was a surfer. I can feel it in my soul. Because I don’t live on the North Shore, there really isn’t any surfing close to me BUT I can paddle board! Since the SUP competition I was in earlier this summer I have been obsessed and saving for my own […]
The Rockshow
As fate should have it I am an extremely lucky person; always in the right place in the right time. One of the most memorable of these times was the Minneapolis music scene in the early 2000s. That was, without a doubt, the most magical time for music and I was lucky enough to be there […]

Balance
Last week, after my Tuesday night yoga class, I was complimented on my balance. The woman who complimented me ( a friend of mine) said that she was watching me during class and I have great balance. I was elated. But it got me thinking… Everyone that practices yoga is, for the most part aware, that […]

Boys will be boys…
My mom has been telling me for weeks that my boys are BRATS. She tells me this daily and she also says that I’m going to be in big trouble if I don’t do something now. I have two healthy boys full of energy and spunk. Bash (5) is smart, caring & dramatic. Lij (3) […]
Shipwrecked
Our family operates like a sailboat. My husband is the sails, my oldest the waters on which we move, my youngest the crew and I’m the boat. When my husband isn’t feeling well it’s like the sails aren’t up. We’re still afloat and surviving just not moving that quick. When my youngest is sick he […]
National Dog Day
In honor of National dog day I thought I’d share a story of my beloved pooches. I’ve always been a dog person. Since I was a baby I’ve always had a dog by my side. My parents bought a dog that was born a week later than I and we shared my crib. As the […]
Stop Bullying
A friend of mine got to pick her son up from the rehab facility at a local hospital this weekend. He wasn’t in for drugs or drinking, like one would imagine, but for depression and an almost attempted suicide. Being the happy-go-lucky type my friend’s kid put on his happy face and went about his days even though […]
Solidcore
Today, on my way to a Solidcore fitness class, I realized I’ve never fully emerged myself into the fitness community. I’ve lightly worked out for the majority of my life. My parents had a weight bench and some other weight training items in the basement, that they NEVER used. I used them but didn’t didn’t really […]
