I’ve been thinking a lot about love over this past year. Not just because Friday is Valentine’s Day, but because I feel like I am just really beginning to understand the power of love. I am incredibly lucky. I grew up loved; I never doubted then, nor do I now, that my parents love me. […]
And Now It’s Time For A Breakdown…..
In case you didn’t know, I ran a freaking half marathon last Saturday. This is my story. (cue E! True Hollywood Story music). Heads up: I swear a lot in this one. I had decided – after much back and forth in my own head – that I would stay in a hotel the night […]
I ran my last run this morning before my half marathon Saturday. I’ve been thinking for a while now about all the things that I have learned or experienced during this training process, and, since this is me we’re talking about, I thought I would share them! Things to think about when running a lot […]

Now, if you haven’t seen the episode from last night, (Season 3 finale/Christmas episode for those in the UK), STOP READING NOW!! Still here? OK. WTF????!!!!??? Really?? I […]
I’ve been working really hard on being positive, finding the good, trying not to get bogged down in sad or angry thoughts, but holy crap can that be tiring. To be really honest it’s been a truly shitty few months. Actually, this year has been rough. I was hoping that 2013 would change things up […]
