As many of you know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I feel it would be a shame not to talk about it again this year. I’ve talked about my own experiences with mental health plenty of times since I’ve started this blog, but it’s an important topic, and one that I think is […]

This week, I want to share something I read in the book Iron Hope by James Lawrence. For a bit of background, James Lawrence was the keynote speaker at our NATE UNITE show this last February. He’s an endurance athlete who is known as the “Iron Cowboy” because he has broken the world record for

I have a little feel-good, fun story for you this week. Twice a week I get up at 4:30am to run with a couple friends in the wee hours of the morning. It’s peaceful and the traffic usually isn’t bad – only a handful of times have we run into any “excitement” on our runs.

I want to give a little shout out to Dan this week. We’ve been through a lot over the last couple of months and there’s been a lot of grief. I’ve probably been a little difficult to be around sometimes as I try to manage my emotions, but he hasn’t left my side once. If

I found myself getting very upset with God this week. I’m usually a strong believer in “everything happens for a reason,” but sometimes, I just don’t understand what that reason is. And no matter how much I plead and beg with Him to help me understand, I don’t. And who knows if I ever will.

It has been an emotionally tolling week – we’ve all been there. One thing that did lift my spirits was that this time last year Dan and I were on our honeymoon in Belize, and all the photos have been popping up in my memories this week. I’m choosing to focus on the sunny beach
I haven’t talked about my books much lately. While I’ve still been working on my writing here and there, I’ll admit it’s been taking a seat on the back burner for a little while now. Although – I’m almost to the 100-page mark in book #3, so that’s pretty cool. 🙂 Anyway, I wanted to

Has anyone else noticed that after a very stressful event, your body just kind of gives out on you!? It’s like it knows you finally have time to relax, so obviously you have time to be sick too, right? That’s what happened here. I got back from Vegas on Friday, and by Monday, I had
