A Lesson in Irritation
Well, the first 9 days of February have been an external internal battle. Internal battle of not letting external affect my mental space and an internal battle of why I am suddenly letting the external affect my internal peace. I haven’t been feeling physically 100%. I’m on the tail end of a cold and can’t shake the cough and sinus drainage. Sexy. I know. I … Continue reading A Lesson in Irritation
Adieu Facebook
I said adieu to Facebook today. No particular reason yet a lot of reasons as well I suppose. I was never a huge fan of Facebook, never really got into it, and never a heavy updater. I’ve deleted and restarted my account two or three times, but this time, I’d like to think it was more permanent. It felt good to hit delete. To release. … Continue reading Adieu Facebook
Songs of My Life: January 2020
I wanted the Songs of My Life for 2020 to be a little different than gifted gems from the Universe which are still happening. I have chosen 3 songs as well. I’ll do so at the beginning of each month to kind of set the intention of the month. Why 3? It’s a magic number, duh, don’t you remember School House Rocks! teaching you that? … Continue reading Songs of My Life: January 2020
Running Playlist: 🏃🏻♀️January 2020
I am not the greatest runner. I am not even a great fan of running, but I do it because I like the zen benefits of it and if I run, I can avoid condition training (assault bike, ski-erg, row-erg, etc). I can run with music or without it but when I do use music, I don’t use it as a pace setter or anything … Continue reading Running Playlist: 🏃🏻♀️January 2020
Songs of My Life: December 2019
Just shy of a decade, Songs of My Life started in February 2010 (but it will be a decade in Feb 2020), and I’m glad this decade is coming to a close. It’s been a hell of a ride and as 2019 closes, the decade closes and this month closes, the overall theme or vibe of December was “good vibes” and “good feelings” and being … Continue reading Songs of My Life: December 2019
Songs of My Life: November 2019
I turned another year older this month but my biggest achievement was that I reached my 1 year anniversary of taking care of me. This is a short Songs of My Life this month…maybe the shortest ever. There’s just 4 gems this month and I’ve played the shit out of them all. Listen on Apple Music Listen on Spotify “Flag” by Xavier Rudd & The … Continue reading Songs of My Life: November 2019
Thank You Marcus
I owe a huge thanks to the one and only, Marcus (@barefoot_trainer👣). In my eyes, it will never be enough to say thank you to him, because I owe him a million plus infinity of thank yous for challenging me and changing my life. One year ago today at 7:15am, I did my very first personal training session with Marcus. Today, 365 days later at 6:15am, I will walk … Continue reading Thank You Marcus
A Beautiful Mess
I’ve been writing since I discovered haikus in grade school. It’s always been my thing. My passion. My way to express inside what I couldn’t always say on the outside. My voice is my words. My sword is my pen. I fight, I breathe, I live, I love through words. I’ve been thinking about this collection of works for some time. Some of these poems … Continue reading A Beautiful Mess
A Changed Life
Last November, I walked into Flow Training Centre with one target in mind…get my shit together. Like I said in My Fitness Journey: Better Than Yesterday, I didn’t have a target weight loss. I didn’t have a target lift goal. I was only armed with a list of Why a Personal Trainer Now and Why I Can’t Do this Alone. I didn’t know then but my trainer, Marcus, (@barefoot_trainer👣) would … Continue reading A Changed Life
Songs of My Life: October 2019
I’ll be honest, October started out pretty damn shitty for me. I was in a constant state of worry, tears, and a tangled mess over my oldest niece, Riley. My dear friend Krissie, was my beacon of light for me in the US who was able to meet up with Riley and see she was okay and 5 days later, Riley was back home and … Continue reading Songs of My Life: October 2019
