I am motivated by goals. It’s what gets me going. Gets me to do the things. And coffee. That also helps. LOL. But all joking aside, goals are what inspire me. “Setting goals is the first step to turning the invisible into the visible.” ~Tony Robbins And I’ve done a lot of that. Practicing the piano? […]
“We have two ears and one mouth…”
I recently found myself in a meeting at work where we were doing some problem-solving. Admin was there and leading the conversation, which included a lot of storytelling to propose some possible solutions. I didn’t say a whole lot as I was mainly listening and didn’t feel there was anything I felt I needed to […]
Spartan Race Reflection
I tried something new this past weekend. I completed my first obstacle course race. Of the Spartan variety. I know. Very exciting. It was a Stadion version of their Sprint distance at the Nationals Stadium in DC. Super cool. 3 miles and 20 obstacles (or 21-22 depending on who you ask!), lots of stair climbing and behind-the-scenes […]
Rediscovered loves…
I recently rediscovered one of my loves. My love for reading. I decided to challenge myself to read 54 books this year. I barely read 10 last year. Maybe 12. It’s January 21st and I am already starting my 6th book! I LOVE READING. I didn’t always used to love reading. In fact, I remember […]
“The bad news is time flies…”
“…The good news is you’re the pilot.” ~Michael Altshuler I swear the school year just started. And then it was well underway. Rosh Hashana. Yom Kippur. (I’m getting into the groove with the Fall Jewish holidays…) Halloween. Thanksgiving. Hanukkah. And now Christmas. I feel like once Halloween hits, everything goes by in the blink of an eye! […]
First year of marriage: A reflection
Michael and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary a week ago. I still can’t believe one year has gone by since we said our “I dos” to each other. And what a year it has been! We honeymooned in Portugal. Sold our condo. Bought a house. Spent 6 weeks in Australia & New Zealand. […]
Moving the energy
It has been a challenging past few weeks for me. It’s something I have been able to compartmentalize pretty well. But the recent focus in the political news has really gotten to me on a very deep level. All for reasons I am fully aware of and have done lots of healing work around, but […]
38 years young
I just completed my 38th year around the sun last week. It was awesome. My husband surprised me with a beautiful breakfast. (he was trying to make up for leaving that evening to spend Yom Kippur in Pennsylvania … he made up for it quite well!) I had some close girlfriends over and had wine […]
The value of routine…
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Nearly 3 months. That’s mainly because we were galavanting all over Australia and New Zealand. Eating all the food. Drinking all the wine. Walking all the miles. LOL. I tallied that we walked nearly 300 miles over the span of 6 weeks. It was incredible. A trip we both […]
TBT: Wedding Ceremony
Our rabbi recently reached out to us asking for a copy of our wedding program since she was working with an interfaith couple and wanted to share it with them. I dug it up and read over it again, reminded of the beautiful and very special ceremony we created. I’ll be honest. I was nervous. […]
