After my recent “tumble,” I decided to walk rather than run, at least until every sore, aching bone in my body recovers. This may be TMI, but I must have really puckered up on my descent; even my butt cheeks hurt. I don’t like walking near as much as I love running. There is something …

I took a tumble yesterday. It all started with spilling my water bottle in my office. I jumped up to grab the papers on the floor (don’t judge me) so they didn’t get wet, slipped on the water, and things went to hell in a handbasket after that. Further proving most accidents happen in the …

Have you ever: Accidently looked in the magnified side of your makeup mirror? Felt a scratch on your cheek only to discover it’s actually a really deep wrinkle? Been told, “At your age, light is your friend?” Wore your yoga pants inside out? Locked yourself out of your house twice in one week? Saw your …

The physician who coined the phrase would tell families, “You are in the precious time …

I came across this Nietzsche quote while I was reading Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. (If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it.) “He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how.” Although simplistic, the thought has stuck with me. The fact I am contemplating the …

So, now that you’re hooked on the Ted Lasso series, here’s my take on a few of the characters: Just once, I wanna be Roy Kent for 24 hours. Dani Rojas is my spirit animal. Who hasn’t had the displeasure of knowing a Rupert Mannion? Coach Beard shares my love of …

I’m about to enter the deep, dark days of winter, AKA no more football. It’s bad. For the next few months, I will eek out an existence in a world of freezing temps and Ted Lasso reruns. In 2020 (You remember 2020!), I lived on home confinement and Schitt’s Creek. I would be embarrassed to …

PSA: Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. If you have yet to purchase flowers, cards, and candies, the clock is ticking. If you don’t have a Valentine, or even if you do, loving yourself may be the best gift. Sometimes, Hallmark holidays serve to remind me of: 1. All I have to be grateful for and don’t …
