It’s February and the air officially smells like chocolate kisses and rose petals. I LOVE Valentine’s Day. I love it as a single mingle & I love it as a taken token. It’s a whimsical holiday full of red and pink explosions, hearts and arrows, chocolate-filled everythings and all around ooey gooey-ness. I know, I [...]

Ms. Understood
I have a deep, innate desire to be known and to know. I’m a connector: I like to connect with people, allow them to connect with me and then connect those people with other people. I’m a sharer. I love to share my feelings, thoughts, fun tidbits. factoids and what ifs all day long…and I [...]

2011 in Rearview
Some of My Favorite Moments of 2011: Ran my first 5k. My firecracker niece, Bella, turned 3. My quirky thug dog, Henry, turned 3. Jumped off a 35′ cliff and didn’t die, but learned how to live. Got heat stroke and spent 2 days laughing in a hospital with a new friend. Went on my [...]

Mega Thanks
It’s Thanksgiving morning. I’m watching Mary J. Blige talk about needing an extra hour in the day just to love some dude more while stomping around in a bedazzled military uniform and I’m still in my pajamas and on my 3rd cup of joe. Later on today the mums, Bells and step-dad are going to [...]

Punctuating Life
I went for a bike ride across the country this summer with the Ride:Well Tour. Spent 2 months with 14 amazing people. Felt the pavement of 7 states under my tires. Stayed in a hospital for 2 days because of heatstroke. Jumped off of a 35-foot waterfall. As a team, rode over 3k miles and personally [...]

Hospital Gowns Ain’t For Sissies
Last Wednesday, I was heaving my ho over a hill and as I was huffing and puffing and blowing everyone’s house down, I started to feel a little weebly wobbly and long story short…I ended up in the emergency room of the booming metropolis of Springerville, AZ. It’s official…hospitals smell the same no matter where [...]

Bruised Mountain Desert Sandwiches – Ride:Well Tour
We rarely have Wi-Fi to post updates or play online, so when we find a coffee shop and some free time, we suck the ever-living cyber life out of them both. So, take a few (read: a lot) of minutes and ketchup with me on the road. Understatements of the Century: Mountains are tall. Deserts [...]

Thankful
Wow. This past Tuesday (the 10th), I posted and emailed that I needed $1,000 more to be able to make my upcoming bike trip. The money was due on Wednesday (the 11th) and I posted that I needed the money by the end of the week because, honestly, I didn’t believe the money would all [...]

29 Days & 1,000 Bux
My Ride:Well bike tour starts in 29 days. Yes, just TA-WONTY-NINE days!! That’s like 13 minutes in Inception time. Just ask Leo. I’m now in the home stretch of crossing things off of my To Do list, raising nickels and dimes and kicking my diet and training up a notch or four. Our Tour de [...]

Pride, Postcards & Pee Wee
There was a day not so long ago that I was 99.99999% sure that I would never, ever…ever squeeze myself into a pair of spandex and walk outside to even get the mail, let alone hike my spandexed touche on a seat slightly larger than a kiwi and ride around like everything was A-OK. But [...]
