Making room on my plate

priorities

I’m kind of stumped for what to write about tonight.  It’s not that there isn’t amazing stuff going on.

There is SO much amazing stuff going on, I can’t just pull out one single thing to focus on and create a coherent narrative out of.  It’s like a huge ball of yarn and I can’t …

The unicorn

evol-burrito

Tonight I discovered a true unicorn that makes me super happy – a gluten-free, dairy-free burrito that’s actually YUMMY!  And not only that, the flavor I had comes with its own little packet of guacamole. 

I just had to share…

It’s the EVOL burrito and it was quite delicious.

I try to make most …

My gateway drug

chocolate cherry

Today marks four months that I have been off sugar, wheat, potato, and dairy products!!!!  When I started down this road on January 2, I was feeling generally sluggish, tired, and cranky far too often for my liking. I wasn’t thinking ahead to how long it would last.  I just knew that I needed to …

Straight, lesbian, in between – it’s just plumbing

In honor of the United States Supreme Court considering same-sex marriage and all of the conversation that has generated this week, I’ve decided to bring back this piece that I posted two years ago.

Originally titled “The Miracle of Fluidity”
In an odd bit of serendipity, I noticed that I wrote this …

Feeling crabby

crab1

I woke up feeling crabby today.  I went to work and felt crabby some more.  My co-workers came into the office and I had to bite back my crabbiness.  I talked to people on the phone and I’m not sure I was successful in holding my crabby to myself.

The reasons for the crabby are …

A few random quickies

There has been a lot of day in today and I’m ready to hit the hay (my goodness, aren’t we rhyme-y tonight?!)

Before I do, though, I wanted to share a couple of quick things with you.

First, I did a radio interview today that I think ranks up near the top of my favorites. …

Break the chains

No longer staying small so others will be comfortable.

I’ve been debating whether to write this post for a few days. Partially because I don’t want to make any of you uncomfortable…but mostly because it feels just a little more vulnerable than even I am used to being. But I was shown by some very powerful women this week what it means to Break …

Less than perfect

The world would be a sad place if this woman were a size 6. She's incredibly beautiful and sexy just the way she is!

A couple of days ago I had a very enlightening conversation with a coach in my training program.  One thing that I like about doing this program is that there are ample opportunities to get coaching!

We talked about a number of topics that all point to one central theme: discipline.

It hasn’t been …
