Sit with me…

I need to get real honest with myself.

Over the last week or so I’ve let an instance of a situation bring me down and I’ll be totally honest it’s been a hard few days trying to get back to some sort of “I’m awesome” frame of mind.

I […]

Easier said than done…

Staying in the moment.

If it was easy we’d all be doing it to so much perfection that there would be no need for “magical” weight loss pills or late night advertisements to “buy the latest weight loss gadget”. We wouldn’t spend hours digging through our refrigerator looking for that chocolate […]

Sorry for the Self…

I’m in a lot of pain.

Early yesterday I managed to throw my back out (as it happens once every 6 months or so). I didn’t do it lifting heavy weights, or running double digit miles. I did it sitting in a chair. Shifted wrong and BAM! […]

Change…

Why are we so fearful of taking control of our lives?

It seems natural that this would make sense to us. We already know healing is not an overnight process and yet we find it so difficult to even allow the process to have a […]

Be confident in who you are…

Oh if only it were as easy as saying “Be confident” and having it happen.

Tomorrow is kind of a big deal around these parts and I’m trying very hard to not freak myself out. It’s interview day. I’ve not spoken too much about it because […]

Stick it to Fast Food…

I’m not one to really jump on someone else’s bandwagon.

For my Deaf friends: I wanted to write a blog post but it was too emotional. This is a video talking about being in Canadian Running for the Nov/Dec issue. I wanted to do an ASL version but it wasn’t going to capture the emotions the second time around. I went back, listened […]
