What the mind believes, the body achieves. That's what a little ring I bought at Target tells me, anyway. Does my mind believe that I'll do well in a hot half marathon? Have I learned enough lessons from all the previous hot halfs I've run? I'm not sure. I'm clinging hard to the memory of … Continue reading It’s all in your head: Spilling over high tea October 2016

It’s been a hard, hard summer: Spilling over high tea September 2016
"Do you ever feel like all you do is take care of everyone else and when the heck is someone going to take care of you?" Man, that's what I wrote for July's Coffee Date -- little did I know how much worse it was going to get!

Spilling over high tea: Of dogs, babies, and just one more
If we met up for coffee (or tea, in my case), I'd probably chew your ear off about the struggles of having a sick dog, wanting to do just one more half, and shaking my head over how women with infants manage to function in such a sleep deprived state.
