Yesterday I had a lady date with my nursing school bestie, Erin. It's kind of a tradition we started once we didn't see each other every waking moment of nursing school after she moved back from Cali. These dates aren't always the same. Sometimes we just meet for lunch and sometimes it's also exercise or… Continue reading “Aging”

Life’s morsels
So January has been quite a personal ride so far! Let's have this blog post be the same... between going to a Book Club for strong, independent ladies to running my first half marathon of the year the morning after a Roaring Twenties Party to volunteering with Team Rubicon at the Calverton National Cemetery, it's… Continue reading Life’s morsels
Hello again!
So the year and the decade changed. Don't worry, I didn't forget. I am, thankfully, still in complete charge of my faculties, but mostly I was surprised by the fact that I hadn't written in a while, especially with the change of year. Aren't bloggers supposed to write about such things??? Meh. I am not… Continue reading Hello again!
Mid-Month Majestic Meditations and Merry Musings
Halfway through September and besides feeling that this month and year are whizzing by, I've learned some lessons from my 5K Challenge. I was reminded that as a human being, I have limitations. Can you believe it? How dare I? As a person who has been active for her entire life, being reminded that I… Continue reading Mid-Month Majestic Meditations and Merry Musings
Remember, remember the 5Ks of September
After last year's marathon, I took some time off from running. I thought to myself, "Hey self, take a break. You've earned it." I told myself that I would start training if I got into the marathon the following year via the raffle. When I didn't get into the raffle, I continued to train but… Continue reading Remember, remember the 5Ks of September
Musings
Some days, hanging out on my chair with my soft blanket, soft pillow and some snacks with a large, chilled glass of water is all I want. I woke up early and got my workout in. At least that's done! Got my grocery shopping done and then headed home to relax, hard core. I worked… Continue reading Musings
WWBD?
You ever have one of those days where you struggle to maintain yourself? I define myself as a positive person, one who believes that people are good and someone who strives to make at least one other person's day a little bit better. Today, I had a hard time being that person, but am happy… Continue reading WWBD?
Lifted Spirits
Are you ever supremely surprised by what can randomly lift your spirits? On August 2nd, my friends and I found ourselves at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors free concert called Liza with a Z. We go to these concerts in Lincoln Center every year. They are so much fun, and really just another item… Continue reading Lifted Spirits
My Kitchen
Tonight I spent some much needed, therapeutic time in my kitchen. I don't know why, but I had been absent from this sacred space. Lack of time? Exhaustion? Who can really tell. Today, I walked through the grocery store and picked up food that makes me happy: salmon, potatoes, mushrooms. My grandmother used to make… Continue reading My Kitchen
26.2 and then who are you?
On November 4th, 2018, I did something I honestly never thought I would do... the NYC marathon. This was an amazing experience! Probably one of the few times I've felt so speechless, where the only way I could convey my feelings were through these confused, unidentifiable tears. Were they driven by happiness at the finish,… Continue reading 26.2 and then who are you?
