About 5 months ago I decided, sort of on a whim, but sort of not, to get a dog. To be fair my kids and I had just watched Homeward Bound… so my judgment might have been a bit skewed… at the time. Anyways, this cute little guy popped up on my facebook page and I...
This is a story about a marathon… but not really. It’s about much much more. I am a slow processor. It takes me a few days to wrap my mind and heart around what I’ve experienced or done and this last weekend, I ran a marathon. I signed up for this thing, well let me...
I don’t know what your instagram ads look like but here’s a brief sampling of what mine include: Try this supplement to regulate your hormones so you can drop 15 pounds Try this energy tablet so you can have more energy throughout your day Buy this course of how to...

I want to be really careful with the content I’m writing about today. What I want to share with you has been saving my life but it has also been a source of a lot of distress in past versions of my life. I’m talking about moving my body. Notice I didn’t use “exercise”...
