Living, learning, growing.

February 9, 2015.Reading time 7 minutes.

In life, I have set out to always do my thing. I can’t really say blaze my own path, because, well, let’s face it, there’s always a lot of other people trying to blaze that path or who are already walking it. I have just wanted to stay true to myself. If I don’t like […]

When You Come Full circle.

January 4, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

I feel like I’ve sort of come full circle in my fitness journey, but yet, I’ve done more than come full circle. I started working out, at home, awkwardly and privately, to some VHS tapes I bought (I feel like I’m dating myself there by saying that). I progressed from there to printouts from magazines […]

Transformation Tuesday: Not what you expect.

November 25, 2014.Reading time 6 minutes.

This is a different kind of Transformation Tuesday post. And in it, weight isn’t going to be discussed. First, because for me, it’s never been about the number on the scale. It’s been about what I see in the mirror, how I feel every day. Even before pregnancy. I also hate that once a woman […]

Living and loving.

March 18, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Saturday marked a milestone birthday for a dear friend of mine. Unfortunately, he wasn’t here to celebrate the big 3-0. 12 and a half years ago, his life was taken from him at the age of only 17. Adam was an amazing soul. He was kind hearted and patient. We met as very young children […]

Owning it.

November 13, 2013.Reading time 7 minutes.

Up until the other side of the age of 13, I couldn’t even tell the lady at the register at McDonald’s that I wanted a six piece nugget meal when my family and I went out for our usual Friday night family date. My mother would tell her what she wanted, what she wanted for […]

The problem with social media.

October 23, 2013.Reading time 6 minutes.

Back when I was in high school, we had ICQ, AIM and MSN Instant Messenger. We had emails and live journals. We chatted with friends, wrote about the trials of our young adulthood and that was the end of the story. Now in the age of social media expansion, all of that has changed. I […]

The back up plan.

October 1, 2013.Reading time 8 minutes.

I can’t say that for my entire life I’ve always had a back up plan, but I can say that it is true one for everything I’ve ever done has been in place for as long as I can remember. I learned very early on that disappointment, well, sucks. I didn’t like the way it […]

Turning 30.

August 2, 2013.Reading time 4 minutes.

I’m about two and a half months shy of that horrible, wretched age hurdle known as 30. I’ve been watching friends and family members hit the digits for a few years now and I won’t lie, seeing how they reacted, freaked me out. Now, here I am, 29, very quickly nearing 30 and I feel…….. […]

It’s a “scene” thing.

June 14, 2012.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Finally, after months of preparation and a few set backs, this magazine is coming back! Submitted the cover yesterday evening before I left the office. Came in this morning to a proof. Now the story list has been sent off to production and I’m itching already for a final product. I feel grateful for the […]
