Sometimes it’s nice to be reminded of who you are. This past weekend I had a moment of total self-realization between a stripper pole dancing class, the hot bods in the resort pool and a dance floor of a Palm Springs hotel. You could say that I found myself between a pole and a hard…
I went to Bloggy Boot Camp San Diego this last weekend and I’ll start by saying it was AWESOME. It was super duper worth the money, the connections made are incredible and the three bags of swag alone was worth the price of admission. So if you’re a blogger and it’s coming to a city…
This Thankful Thursday, being St. Patrick’s and all, I wanted to write about how lucky I am. Lucky and thankful. We moved to this neighborhood in 2006 from San Francisco. Thanks to our neighbors, Patty & Bruce, we immediately met a bunch of our neighbors, but at the time there weren’t many with kids at…
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…

I was inspired by Project Alicia’s (Not So) Wordless Wednesday this week. She is an incredible photographer and I don’t know where she finds the time to do all the beautiful projects that she has on her plate. I am not nearly as artistic nor do I have the time, however I can celebrate my…
On this Thursday, I knew exactly what I was thankful for. I didn’t even have to think about it. I’m thankful for my Mommy. She lives in Colorado and we don’t get the opportunity to see each other more than twice a year typically. Right now my life is a bit crazy; working from home,…
It’s the New Year and I’m full of good ideas. (Full of something, that’s for sure.) I want some good practices to build my muscle around creating more joy in my life (see Review and Resolutions). I also want to be better at writing and blogging. So I came up with this idea: Thankful Thursdays….
