Cheers. Cheers to a year full of momentous ups and monumental downs. Cheers to being better for it. Cheers to the travels, the adventures, the risks. Cheers to ringing in the year on a snowmobile and wrapping it up on the beach. Cheers to Burning Man! Cheers to the late nights, the early mornings. Cheers to the music… Read More Cheers to Us
“You are never too old and it is never too late to keep moving forward in your beautiful life.” I came home from Paris yesterday. My pink couch had finally been delivered. My cats had barfed all over the place. The paper towels were unraveled. A cold was settling in. I came home from Paris… Read More Onward
This past week, I closed a chapter in my life that I have been wanting to close for quite some time. No more back and forth. No more arguing. No more threats. No more anger. Ladies and gentleman, we have a signed divorce agreement in the house. When I started the divorce process more than a year ago, I… Read More So Free
The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind. – Caroline Myss “Stop saying ‘yes,’” they say. “You need to move on,” he says. “Slow down,” she says. “Sleep more.” “If you don’t like it, then don’t work here,” she said. “I’m sorry you’re still dealing with that,” they… Read More Nothing
I wish he could see that I’m trying. That I have this new life over here and that I’m trying. I wish he could see that I didn’t ask for any of this. This wasn’t my undoing. And that all I’ve done was what I could do, which was my best. I wish he could… Read More I Wish He Could See

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. Guys, it’s been a long five years. But this past year has felt like one of the longest.

I’m having a moment. A moment where things aren’t hugely exciting. A moment where the future seems lonely. A moment where I’m unsure if I’m on the right track. A moment where I’m questioning what “yes” really means. I wasn’t sure if I should tell you that. About my moment. But this journey is about openness,… Read More A Moment
I learned something after running 13.1 miles a couple weeks ago: there is such a thing as the post-half blues. I learned something else: it’s common and ok–especially after the first one. It’s kind of like that feeling you get when the wedding you spent a whole year planning comes and goes and then there’s this weirdo void that’s all… Read More Not The Last Half-Marathon Post
Back in the day, I used to be part of a work team that was closer than closest can be. We went to each other’s weddings, we disagreed (with passion), we rode trains, planes and automobiles together, we acted like clowns, we saw success again and again…we had a good thing going. We were a… Read More Eight Hugs
