{Telluride}: The Butcher & Baker

Last day of our trip to Telluride! I’m thinking that I have prolonged all of the Telluride posts because I am vacation deprived! When’s the next trip?! Our last day in Telluride was spent relaxing, enjoying our surroundings and each other’s company, and soaking up every minute we had left of the commitment-free vacation. Steve … Continue reading

{Telluride}: Birthday Celebrations

Day two of Telluride and there was so much to celebrate – March 1, a new baby cousin; March 2, my mom’s birthday & my cousin Kelsey; and March 4, Steve’s birthday. I got up a little extra early that morning to head down to the hotel gym, not just for a workout, but for … Continue reading

{Telluride}: First Time Skiers

After a glorious night’s sleep – and yes 20+ hours of traveling really does make for a glorious night’s sleep, we woke up to this beautiful view – the sun shining over the mountain tops, a faint chirping in the background, and the wind rubbing her cool fingertips across the skin of your face and … Continue reading

{Telluride}: Travel Adventures

Alright I am finally back in action – luckily I get to talk all about my trip through written words versus verbal, which is right now a God-send because I am officially voiceless after coming down with what seems to be a nasty cold. But that’s neither here nor there – let’s get to that … Continue reading

A Winter Escape

What Is Your Story?

Today I got back on my mom’s blog because sometimes just reading her words, especially her rendition of her life, gives me clarity and a comfort that can’t be found through other avenues. It may be a coincidence or it may more – I like to always think of it as the latter – that … Continue reading

{Wedding}: Engagement Photos

The days have been flying by these past few weeks. I haven’t spent a ton of time on the computer lately, which is why it has been a bit silent on the blog lately. Any semi-“free” time or “me” time has been spent in meditation and continuing to work on finding inner serenity. The time … Continue reading

Progressive Burpee Workout

For the past few TBC (Total Body Conditioning) classes that I’ve taught, we’ve been working on progressively building up to a more challenging move. Since burpees areone of my favorite exercise and it’s not always a class favorite, I put the together aTABATA workout that consisted of a progressive burpee – basically breaking up a burpee into 4 steps, doing one … Continue reading

Prayers for a Cure

My heart is literally breaking. Throughout my life, I feel like I have watched people around me from acquaintances to my own mom, have their lives uprooted by cancer. To watch family’s hearts be torn from the loss of a loved one because of this disease feels unjust – and maybe that’s because it is. … Continue reading
