A year ago, I created a DC bucket list for my fifth year here, as a I celebrated my fourth anniversary of moving to the city. Below is the original list with the items I’ve completed crossed off. So I still have the remaining items to check off, and I’ve also added a few more [...]

Remind yourself what you deserve
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged family, friends, relationships, reminders, respect, self on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
When we are feeling rejected by someone or something, it’s easy to get down on ourselves and come up with all the reasons why it happened to us. It’s easy to try to rationalize someone else’s actions or decisions or find ways to defend them, even if they hurt us. It’s also common for us [...]
Want something? Get there with #NoExcuses.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged attitude, biggest loser, goals, no excuses on January 11, 2012 | 2 Comments »
No Excuses isn’t just the theme of this season of The Biggest Loser (although it did inspire me to cement it as my mantra this year). It’s a choice, it’s a lifestyle, an instruction guide to achieving your goals and dreams. Moreover, it’s not just about fitness, although I’m using it as strong motivation in [...]
Resolving and Renewing in 2012
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 2012, goals, new year's, new year's resolutions, to-dos on December 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Millions of people are writing this very same post, or will soon. Resolutions, goals, aspirations, to-dos, whatever you want to call them, we all have them. Many will not write them down or say them out loud, but they are spoken in hearts and minds, in dreams, and in prayers. And many will have similar [...]
Take care of your needs, and everyone else’s, too
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged happiness, hugs, needs, taking care of yourself on December 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
You may read the title of this post and think, hey, I’ve got enough to take care of for myself without having to worry about everyone else. And to a point, I grant you that it’s completely okay to be selfish sometimes, especially when you’re feeling overstretched and your body is telling you to slow [...]

So, it’s finally here: 11/11/11. I’ve made it a pretty big deal – the birthday piece of course, but also my list of 11 things by 11/11/11. Many of you have been a part of this little two-month experiment, either by sending me recipes, receiving my letters, or taking me to new places. Thank you [...]
The things that scare me…and it’s not a haunted house.
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged demons, fears, ghosts, halloween, haunted, nightmares, scary on October 31, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Okay, maybe I’m fudging that a little. It is Halloween after all, and I admit that things like haunted houses and haunted trails and movies like The Ring or It scare me a little (The Birds is for the birds though – that one makes me laugh). But other than ghosts and chainsaws and headless [...]
Getting to the center of your Venn Diagram
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged center, personality, traits, venn diagram on October 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
All of our lives, we’re pushed to place ourselves in a character type, a box of sorts to describe who we are. We take tests and quizzes to figure out if we’re introverts or extroverts, left-brained or right-brained, skilled or adaptable, safe or risky … the list goes on. The problem is, rarely are we [...]
Fall back
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged fall, fall back, harvest, seasons on October 10, 2011 | 3 Comments »
It’s getting close to that time of year when we set our clocks back one hour, and for one night we lose a little more sleep than usual. It starts to get darker earlier in the day, and as the trees become more bare, and the skies more gray, it seems like maybe life has [...]
