Always evolving, Never Average
Are you ready for my next soul searching discovery? You might not like what I’ve discovered. Or maybe you will. I guess it depends on how you look at it. Anyway, here is my very HUGE a-ha moment. You know all those people in your life who have said really shitty things that are mean …Read More
I have been doing quite a bit of soul searching in the last few months. For lots of different reasons. The difficulties in my marriage have really prompted me to take a good, hard look at myself. Parenting teenagers and pre-teens will certainly encourage a person to do a whole buttload of self-reflection. I suppose …Read More
I’m sitting in the lobby right now, while Number 3 and 4 are in the pool warming up for the second night of finals at a four day swim meet. Last year I was at this same meet, losing my mind. COMPLETELY LOSING MY MIND. Last year I had little (to no) perspective. I was …Read More
54 weeks ago I had pretty major prolapse surgery including a hysterectomy. Due to the severity of the prolapse, I stopped most exercise. I did not stop eating, though. And I packed on some serious pounds. 50 weeks ago, when I was pretty much healed, I decided it was time to reclaim my fitness and …Read More

March kind of snuck up on me like a ninja, and if I was more on top of things I would have shared this with you about a week ago. But better late than never. In my e-courses, I issue my clients a challenge. It is a self-directed challenge where we all determine what we …Read More
I was a teacher for ten years. And if there is one thing teachers know how to do it’s use time effectively, manage lots of kids with different needs, and get sh*t done. Once I had a few years of teaching experience under my belt, I was a machine. My classroom was organized, I had …Read More
I learned something yesterday. Over the past couple months I have really been tryin got be aware of what I do and when I do it and WHY I do it. And boy have I had a wake up call. One thing I have really been paying attention to is my lack of focus. I …Read More
A couple weeks ago I had one of the worst mornings I’ve had with the kids in a long time. A LOOOOOOOONG time. They were at each other’s throats, pushing buttons relentlessly and doing whatever they could to piss each other off. We had multiple massive meltdowns before 7:30 a.m., and I all but dragged …Read More
