Happy Sunday Darlings! Despite the fact that I can’t manage my time well enough to get regular updates up, I am in fact STILL running and training and I just wrapped up Week 9 (HOW?!?) this morning with a long run of 8 miles. Miles 5 and 6 felt pretty rough because my hip flexors … More Road to Half-Marathon: Update
Hello Darlings! I have officially started training for my first half-marathon! I’m following a 16-week program that culminates in the half-marathon on May 13th. I’ll be running the half at Smith Rock–it is my favorite place in Oregon and so it seemed fitting. I will be (hopefully) running five days a week (although week two … More Road to Half-Marathon: Weeks 1&2
Happy Tuesday (it technically just became Tuesday) Darlings! In an attempt to get this journal up BEFORE I have to complete the one for this week on Wednesday, I am just choosing the no-sleep route. Luckily for Starbucks and unluckily for my bank account, that just means extra caffeine tomorrow…er…today. Last week in class we … More Grad School Journal #2
Only a weekish late, no big deal. Is anyone surprised? I think not. Hello 2018. Welcome. We are so happy you are here. I for one, am very pleased with how this new year started. I watched the ball drop with some friends, did a little (ahem, a lot) of kissing, and for the first … More On Resolutions
Me too. Two words that I saw echoed all over social media the past few days. Two words that normally might be tossed aside, looked over, missed. Not yesterday. not today. I guess I am considered one of the “lucky” ones. I have not been the victim of some heinous form of sexual assault. Great. … More Me too.
Happy October Darlings! I have a new book review for you all! Up this month is Reclaiming Your Body: Healing from Trauma and Awakening to Your Body’s Wisdom by Suzanne Scurlock-Durana. It deals with ways to help heal your body from trauma in order to better understand your body’s wisdom. Sounds useful, yeah? Before I get … More October Book Review: Reclaiming Your Body
It’s been a week of wild sickness (not on my part, fingers crossed), exhaustion, impatience, reactivity, last-minute deadlines…but I don’t want to discuss any of that. To be honest, I have spent so much time this week reading yoga and self-help books (one for training and one for review) that this week, I just want … More Freestyle Friday: 9/29/17
I think I needed the Fall. Summer was hot. Restless. Fiery. Smoky. Choking. It provided me with a much-needed move and a Canadian vacation. It helped give me ideas, think about decisions, but didn’t give me the drive to follow through. Summer was manic. I have to do all of the things I have to … More Soulful Sunday: Fall Feels
I know, I know. It’s Saturday…but I fell asleep trying to post this last night, so here we are. Positive relationships. We see and hear those words all of the time–usually in connection to how we should form them, search them out, cultivate them, etc. I’m talking about all types of relationships here, not only … More Freestyle Friday (on Saturday) 9/9/17
I’m a day late and the reason is this–I’m a teacher. I teach preschool. Teaching preschool generally means that there is no summer break. The last day of school was Wednesday and Tuesday we get a brand-new class. This weekend we were given a 4-day weekend and it is essentially our “summer vacation”…and I worked … More Freestyle Friday (On Saturday) 9/2
