Last night, as we sat on the cusp of 2012, my husband asked me if this had been a good year. I teared up. There is one memory that hasn’t left me all year. One memory that was created exactly one year ago from last night. As the clock on 2010 started to run out,…

Running the Race – #ThinnerThursday
If you would have told me back in the spring what I would accomplish over the summer, I would have shaken my head and told you that you had the wrong person. Me? Run? Run a race? Run two races? You’re crazy. Here’s the thing. I did run. I even ran a race. In fact, I…
Achievement Unlocked – #ThinnerThursday
Setting goals frightens me. It is always exceptionally easy to want to do something. It is even easier to dream about doing something.

Sometimes the motivation comes from within, sometimes…
I Am Not a Runner
I am not a runner. This was true even as a child. I have never actually been someone who particularly liked being active at all. My childhood memories are littered with examples of adults encouraging me to be active when all I wanted to do was sit and read. I’m sure it didn’t help that my…
Bring on the Golf!
While I was browsing Twitter this weekend, I noticed that someone wondered if there would be many “golf widows” this weekend. If it wasn’t for my husband, I would have paid no attention to that tweet. But because Dan was so excited about it, I knew that The Masters was being played over the weekend….
