    the person i used to be

    Sometimes I don’t want to do the good things, the things that will get me to my goal, the things that are good for me. Sometimes I want to sleep in and wake up whenever I want and without an alarm. Sometimes I want to eat donuts and fried foods and a loaf of french…

  • Gratitude

    Gratitude

    Seems like when the universe is trying to get a message or some guidance to me, it bombards me with direction.  Every blog and article I read, every podcast I listen to, every vlog I watch will be related to that which I need to pay attention.  Clearly the universe knows that I don’t take…

  • The Day I became a Desert Rat

    I wasn’t planning on running a marathon last weekend. I originally was going to do the half marathon distance – but I’d been doing 12-14 miles on the weekend and doing 13 wasn’t really going to benefit my training. In spite of the fact that I’m supposed to be training for a 50 mile race…

    This Post has No Title

    So many thoughts  ramble through my head and seemingly disconnected thoughts at that.  I like to be busy, but then I feel like I never get any down time.  I get down time and then I feel lazy for just sitting around. I enjoy being a plant-based clean eater, but don’t want to come across as…
