Denver, CO

I am a vivacious thirty-something woman trying to survive changes in body, mind, and culture while living in the heart of Denver with my husband of just over five years.

Interests: Running (slowly), reading (everything), writing (as often as possible), teaching (other teachers), my husband (usually...just kidding), and school (working on my PhD).

A Time to Reflect...

It's been a crazy four days, folks. Totally. Crazy. I'm sitting here today, beginning the reflection process and finding the lessons I was meant to learn. Allow me to provide the back-story. Because I've been traveling like a mad-woman lately,... Continue reading

Things That Are Full of Awesome.

So this is a bit of a rip-off, I know. I'm a HUGE fan of the website www.1000awesomethings.com and I'm obsessed with my daily calendar that gives me one awesome thing to be thankful for each day (today: 'Do Nothing... Continue reading

Stopping the Spiral.

So I've been on a bit of a 'downward spiral' this week... My work-life balance got so far out of whack that I lost control. Of everything. My diet. My work-outs. My calendar. My nails. My flossing. My self-talk. My... Continue reading

Thanksgiving Thanks.

Eric and I just returned from five days in sunny Scottsdale, and I am feeling incredibly thankful that we have made Thanksgiving 'ours.' It's my favorite holiday of them all because it's about us. Just us. And I like 'us.'... Continue reading

I Am A Journal Hog.

It's true. I am a total journal hog. I have an addiction to journals. Kinda like I do with lip gloss. As I sit here at my desk, without straining, I can see nine journals surrounding me. Some are written... Continue reading

Yikes. I haven't written here in awhile. Truth be told, I've got a couple other projects in the works that have been eating up my writing time, but I miss this. This outlet. So here I am. Without a thing... Continue reading

Is there any greater joy than coming home from a long day of work only to step out of your shoes and into slippers? Out of work clothes and into sweat pants and a sweatshirt? Out of jewelry? Out of... Continue reading

30 Days is a Long Time.

Tomorrow marks Day 30 of our 30 Day Challenge (I was to eat an apple every day and my husband was to walk Lucy, our dog, 2 miles every day) and here's what I'm reflecting on: 1. 30 days is... Continue reading

Human Kindness.

I'm writing this on the plane, with a glass of wine on tray table, attempting to regain my composure after boarding tonight's flight. So all this week I bragged and bragged about how I fit six days of 'stuff' into... Continue reading

Good question. There's a fridge on site so I packed whole wheat bread with avocado, sprouts, and spinach. I also had my apple and some raw almonds. Mmmmm.

Commented Oct 2, 2012 on Decisions, Decisions. at Still Struggling at Thirty: Lessons On Transition

Decisions, Decisions.

The apple challenge continues and I am proud to say that I have not missed one day! Not one single day. Woot! Woot! I've got two weeks to go and already have some ideas for my next 30 days... I... Continue reading

Gratitude. For the Small Stuff.

I've been feeling grateful lately. Extremely grateful. And in this gratitude, I'm realizing that the 'little things' are often really the 'big things.' I've spent years chasing BIG dreams... marathons, careers, degrees... and I have no regrets. But these days,... Continue reading

Day Three of our 30 Day Challenge and we're still going strong (I should hope so, right?). And because I've been on each of Eric's walks AND have had an apple a day, I'm convinced that I'm earning 'extra credit.'... Continue reading

And So It Begins...

Ah, yes, our decisions have been made. On our walk last night, Eric boldly announced the following: 'I will take Lucy for AT LEAST a two mile walk every day for 30 days.' His confidence was astounding. I was ready... Continue reading

This extremely short, very simple TED Talk has been haunting me for days: http://youtu.be/JnfBXjWm7hc (Watch it. It's less than four minutes.) In it, Matt Cutts discusses how he has been on a mission to try something new (or give something... Continue reading

A Juicing Machine.

So when Eric and I were at Macy's this weekend, we saw that the Cuisinart Juice Extractor machine was 40% off and so we bit. And we are now proud owners of this bad boy: And I'm becoming a juicing-machine,... Continue reading
