Complicated Risk
BAM! The sudden crack of the window next to my computer sounded like the thud of an errant ball lobbed in the wrong direction and as soon as it did, I ducked, certain I was about to be covered in shards. When the raining glass never fell, I opened my blinds to figure out what the heck had… Continue reading

I don’t.
“The older you get, the less you know. It’s a sign of maturity. Teenagers are the ones who know nothing but think they know everything.” I remember my mom saying something along these lines when I was in my teens, eye-rolling and sighing and certain that I was, of course, the exception. Turns out she… Continue reading

Fitness is the vehicle, but more than that, I wanted to help people discover their own strength. To help moms see that being a martyr and giving without ceasing helps… Continue reading

I’m the mom
I’m the mom whose garage constantly looks like it vomited a Toys R Us into the driveway. I’m the mom whose children pick out their own clothes. (Therefore ensuring that they never match.) I’m the mom who is passionate about fitness, so yeah, I DO wear yoga pants. A lot. I’m the mom that goes… Continue reading

On Confidence
In the latest WordPress prompt, they ask us if we are good at what we do, and what would we like to be better at. I find it coincidental* that this subject pops up right when I’ve been discussing the subject of fear and confidence with a few different friends lately. Usually when things like… Continue reading

A Dose of Real
Recently over on Single Dad Laughing, author Dan Pearce wrote about what he terms a disease of Perfection. (Please take the time to check it out and read through it. Go ahead, I’ll wait.) In the article (that you just read), Dan discusses examples of very real situations, but that we are unable to reveal our… Continue reading
