I used to date this guy with some pretty MAJOR body issues. Like, I’ve slept with him a few times and haven’t ever seen him naked. Not. Even. Once. He was the skater type. Even on the hottest days he wore jeans, a hoodie skater shoes and a baseball cap. SOMETIMES I’d see him in […]

Mother’s Day Mayhem
On Mother’s Day I got to sleep in, I was served breakfast in bed with freshly squeezed orange juice and there was a vase of fresh picked flowers on the tray. It was amazing and I am totally lying. I’ve gotten to celebrate being a mother for five years now. Most of the years we’ve […]
Rocky
Some of my extended family is pretty eccentric. The particularly odd ones are VERY odd. It took me years to appreciate their uniqueness. When I was fourteen my parents went on their first vacation without us kids and out of the country. They packed their bags and headed to Mexico for what felt like an eternity. […]
Hot Chocolate 15K
Last Saturday I ran the Hot Chocolate 15K and I think it’s my favorite race of all. The fresh spring air detoxing your lungs from winters grasp, the course is beautiful taking your through the art district along the river in Minneapolis and they have chocolate treats along the way with a play / bounce […]

You may know that I am a big advocate for Fierce Forward and also an ambassador. Since the beginning of my Fierce Forward journey I heard a bunch of women from the “She-Pack” (my sisters) talk about this traveling journal they did. I had to wait six months to be apart of the traveling journal […]
Let the Spring Cleaning begin
Late last week anxiety had me trapped in its claws and I could barely move. As my heart beat a million times a minute I couldn’t help by ask myself why and how I get myself into situations exactly like this one. * * * My parents are collectors of things. Not any particular thing, just […]
Be a Fountain
There is this person I know that no matter what you say to them they find 15 different negative things to say. Me: I really like your hair today! Them: Really? It’s so flat and frizzy today, I should have worn a hat. It’s exhausting and I’m usually up for a challenge. When my kids […]
Pain Update :)
Good news, the pain has left this building! I have been easing back into HIIT training (my secret LOVE) and feeling great! All of my organ test results within the ultrasound came back normal. All the blood tests showed all negatives for concerns which makes me so happy! This entire situation has made me more aware […]
The Pain
Last Thursday I noticed a minor pain that I couldn’t identify in my core. I thank yoga for that. If it weren’t for yoga I wouldn’t have been in tune with myself and listened. The pain continued to get worse over the weekend and I went to the doctor on Monday. Since the best doctor […]
