Overcoming the Opressive Heat.
Ah, Summer. We waited so long for you. We thought of you as we watched friends’ cars get stuck in snowdrifts, as we found ourselves being an hour late to work by no fault of our own, and as we updated our collection of fleece jackets and UGG boots. Spring went by in a blink...
The Summer is ON – Health and Safety Tips
When has summer break NOT been fun? Well, considering I’ve had summer break every year since the age of 4…NEVER! I have never been off the school schedule, the benefit of working AT a school, and I’m sure the reason why so many people become educators. In Southern California, where I grew up and lived...

Race Report – Big Sur International Marathon
Just south of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk The Big Sur Marathon was so fun!

Racing the Rain
I love personal challenges. I’m fortunate in that when I set my mind to a task, I must complete it. If I don’t, it becomes a personal failure. I know, this is harsh. I finish every book I start to read, eventually, even if I hate it I can later talk about how terrible it...
Being Well…Satisfied
No one is 100% satisfied with themselves. A satisfied person seeks no improvement on their bodies, their minds, their jobs, or their relationships. If someone was completely satisfied, that person would not set goals, change, or achieve anything else. When it comes to physical appearance, or health and wellness, I think it is more common...
