Ok, so I know this seems like a pretty obvious statement, but every once in a while you need a little reminder. The last few weeks (let's be honest here, it's verging on months) have been really tough for me mentally. And I'd started to find myself dreading each day, because I was tired of …
A quick Google search resulted in the following: Why did you Google the word busy? I frequently find myself describing my life as busy, often almost in competition with others. Recently there has been a lot of noise about how being busy isn't impressive anymore, so people should learn to slow down. But who's to …
I started writing another blog post for today, and then something happened at work that made me decide I needed to focus on something else. Backing up I have a job that when people hear what I do, they are surprised I'm able to keep a blog and social media presence up. I have large …

This week, my fellow bloggers have shared awesome posts about packing for Disney, playlists for Disney, making it through Disney, and about 400 other things at Disney. All of them get me more excited! This will probably be one of at least 4 of my own Disney-related posts. In grad school I wrote Top Ten …

My 2014 Goals post is coming tomorrow in connection with the Philadelphia Runner Resolution Run with Nike. Yesterday I had some thoughts about the the New Year and decided to share.
