I posted this gif on my tumblr 5 years ago, however it took me nearly 5 years to fully own this and live it! The truth of the matter is: YOU ARE ALSO YOUR SOLUTION! Invest in yourself, make time for yourself, listen to yourself, and care for yourself.

Amazing words of love and appreciation from my dear friend Leslie who texted me this out of the blue this morning.
What a way to start your day, Leslie really gave me a good case of the feels! She is on her journey to 70.3 (an Ironman for those of you not familiar) and credits me when 4 years ago I trained for my first sprint triathlon in an effort to conquer 3 sports for 3 decades tri at 30. Leslie has far surpassed my physical abilities and I’m so beyond proud of her as a friend and an athlete!

Finally wrote the opening lines of my eventual novel/screenplay/Broadway musical.
My life changed November 18, 2007 when my dad died and I think my story is best told by looking backwards from that point and looking forward from there. I can’t wait to share my progress with you all…

Thankful for a break in the rain to get 10,000 steps on the W&OD Trail with @mbroeckelmanpost (at W&OD Trail)
I went to a free improv workshop today. It was so great to light up this part of my brain again! I minored in theatre in college and did improv for 2 years as part of a troupe when I lived in Alabama. I’m thinking of signing up for a fall improv class…

Fun colored pants Friday! I haven’t worn these in yeeeeears. Truth be told I like my wardrobe to be as fun and loud as my personality, but when I’m feeling fat and dump I SO QUICKLY hide behind wear black. Don’t get me wrong I do like black, but I was wearing it to not be seen whereas with an outfit like this people won’t be able to miss me!!

Today threw me an unexpected curveball so I’m trying to repeat this mantra over and over…
If I had to assign a drink to represent the taste of New York this would be it…
