What If
What if… What if we stopped? Stopped all the busy. What if we put down the 7 things we’re trying to do simultaneously? What if we focused on just one thing? Could we do it? We record television shows, while we are watching other shows, flipping channels because we get bored during commercials. We have… Continue reading

Daily Prompt: Inside the Actor’s Studio
As a writer, and an observer, I love learning about what makes people tick. It’s no surprise that Inside the Actor’s Studio is one of my favorite shows. When the daily prompt came up asking us to answer the interview questions the host James Lipton asks every guest, I couldn’t wait to settle in and… Continue reading

Just Imagine
There are some days when I just don’t feel like working out. When the warmth of my comforter feels much more inviting than wrestling a sports bra, slipping on workout clothes, consuming fuel and heading out into what still feels like the middle of the night. But imagine what I miss when I don’t get… Continue reading

The First Class
(The WordPress daily prompt was to discuss beginnings. How perfect!) Well, I did it! I didn’t puke, faint or fall off the bike! There was however a problem with the equipment. My phone (where my music is) was not compatible with the dock at the gym. Can’t very well have a spin class without music.… Continue reading

Music…and a New Adventure
For the past month or so, I’ve been slightly freaking out. Going about the daily routines; taking care of minions, grocery shopping, laundry, etc., but just underneath the surface: freak out central. Not life or death freak out, but first-job-in-six-years kind of freak out. I accepted the spin instructor position at a local gym and… Continue reading

The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day(s)
I suppose that’s a tad dramatic, but – well, I’ll just get right into it. Wednesday morning we wake up and the kids are just having a morning. One of those mornings. Everything is a struggle. “I don’t wanna brush my teeth!” “I don’t wanna go to school!” “I don’t wanna eat!” “I don’t wanna!… Continue reading

So This is What Schizophrenia Feels Like
Originally posted on Life and Other Stuff: I love to write. While I doubt I’ll be selling the next New York Times best seller anytime soon, (at least while the littles are still little), I do enjoy having a creative outlet and and entertaining the 3 people (including my parents) who think I’m “just the… Continue reading

Daring Greatly
I’ve mentioned before how much I admire, and have learned from, the author of Daring Greatly, Brene Brown. I am watching her on an episode of Lifeclass and am reminded again about the power of vulnerability. After receiving a call to interview for a Spin Instructor position at a local gym, I did my requisite… Continue reading

Addict? Who Me?!
In a recent daily prompt, they want us to discuss something addicting. Coffee is my thing. As in, I’m typing this and extremely irritated (total FWP) that I am out of cream. I don’t do straight coffee. I don’t do caramel-macchiatto-extra-whip-ice-cream-in-disguise drinks either. Espresso is fine, just not my thing in general. (I will have… Continue reading
