motivated & moving in good company

I teach Jazzercise.  I decided last year that I needed a tougher level of accountability in my fitness regime.  Turning 40 was right around the corner and I’m a strong believer of pay now or pay later when it comes to health and your life.  So I did it and made a bigger commitment to…

pure joy: mobher at blogher ’11

BlogHer ’11 was incredible and I promise this will be the last post that I’m writing about it.  However, I would be remiss if I didn’t write about my MobHer experience.  Seriously, pure joy. On fire.  We were on the Edge of Glory. Gaga bless Mary (from Mama Mary Show) and Theresa (from Rock on…

got class?

Sorry that I’ve been MIA from my blog.  I have many posts bubbling inside of my head, particularly one about how I move out of Overwhelm, which is located near Crazyville.  Moms, you may be familiar with that location and state of mind.  Well, that’s where I’ve been for the past two weeks.  I’m starting…

thankful thursday: why i jazzercise

Over the past two months, I have been running up against of the hardest physical challenge I have encountered other than being pregnant for nine months and giving birth (because if you knew me, that was no cake walk). I was recently certified to be a Jazzercise instructor. I know some people are saying, “Jazzercise?…

thankful thursday: challenge

I am challenged. It is so in my face right now, but I know how to meet it head on. You may know about my love for Jazzercise. How it met me in pudgy darkness and brought me into the dancing light with my soul singing. Well, not really that poetic, but it feels really…

live to dance

Okay look…I love dance.  I can’t escape it.  I think if/when I get a do-over in life, I have the message loud and clear that I should have done more with my skills earlier on.  Now, in this lifetime I will be satisfied bringing dance to others as a Jazzercise instructor and a freak on…

feels like the first time

It feels like the first time, the very first time…because it is!  And PLEASE by all means watch the video, it’s ALL ABOUT the hair and those guys are ugly mofos.  But yeah, gotta love some Foreigner. Anyway, I just got my first blog award and I’m doing the So Awesome Dance (just not to…

dance party going on over here

I have to tell you, I’m feeling pretty good today.  With the exception of my best friend reminding that this is the last birthday of my 30s, I’m over the moon.  (She’s like a sister and likes to poke at me…Lola!!!)  Yes, it’s my birthday.  I’m a summer solstice girl.  And I am overwhelmed with…

soft and gooey center

See

I’m the kind of jen that when I don’t like something about myself or a situation that I’m in, I go to work on changing it (where applicable).  Right now, I’m at an all new point.  Let’s take for example, this soft and gooey center that I have developed.  I’d like to play innocent and…

a few of my favorite things

Two of my favorite things…So You Think You Can Dance and wine.  Wine first.  Better to watch TV while drinking (as opposed to operating heavy machinery).  So I’m in love.  He’s tall, blonde, and crisp and his initials are CMS.  And he was only $6 at the BevMo 5 Cents sale.  Is it wrong that…
