Have a rad weekend!

Have a rad weekend!

This movie. I can’t wait until March! And speaking of Emma Watson. I absolutely love this idea of “Books on the Underground“. I’m still confused why people get so upset about what is (or isn’t) on a Starbucks cup. I mean, it’s all about what’s IN the cup am I right? (Also, I’m kinda digging the green “people” cups). Really… Read More

5K: 2/12

5K: 2/12

Saturday was my second 5K. There was a lot that was different about this run that made it more enjoyable than the last (and ultimately I think helped me run faster). The first was that I had friends there. The coffee guy and his awesome girl were there (one running, one managing the race). Being able to chit-chat prior to the… Read More

A Plan for my 30th Year

A Plan for my 30th Year

Today I am 30. We aren’t going to get all caught up in the numbers. 30 is just a number—a new decade—and I’m excited to get started. So here we are. 30. This crazy plan of mine came totally randomly one day a couple months ago (inspired in part by another lovely runner Jessica). I’m calling it “5k 12.” I’m… Read More

A Story About Shoes

A Story About Shoes

  Last fall I was have a horrible day. Horrible week actually. I can’t remember why it was so horrible, only that I wasn’t having a good week. Andy, the wonderful husband that he is, sent me out for “me” time. And as always with “me” time, I end up at a local thrift store (don’t worry I head to… Read More

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
