70 days until summer…I am but human

So I was on a roll, in a rhythm, exercise – check, sleeping well – check, good food choices 80/20 – check; scale was down 3lbs and holding and then wham… life… and I face planted, literally and figuratively. Got an email my 7am #cko class was canceled and instead of going to another locationContinue reading “70 days until summer…I am but human”

When the stranger shows up

I had an amazing weekend. Friday night a last minute decision for date night with hubby.. dinner and a live show “Get the Led Out” a Led Zeppelin inspired band. Awesome time, delicious food, great music. Saturday morning a heart pumping slightly painful #cko #tullytime workout.. felt a little twinge in my hamstring during aContinue reading “When the stranger shows up”

Reflections

It’s inevitable. As much as I tell myself I am not going to do that thing at the end of the year and “reflect”… I think it is just human nature to take stock in ourselves every so often. And since the rest of the world is screaming new year, re-set.. well it’s a littleContinue reading “Reflections”

Choosing the correct route

The other night I went rock wall climbing with a few of my hiking family. Most of us had little to no experience. We were filled with anticipation and a little a bit of trepidation.

They had all committed to completing the #firetowerchallenge, I just wanted to hike on a gorgeous day in the Catskills.. I journal every hike, a glimpse at my notes reveal: beautiful day, perfectContinue reading “A view from the cab(s), not yellow – Fire Tower”

Why can’t we all be friends?

In a perfect world there would be no fighting. Everyone would be nice to one another and there would be no drama. Everyone would instantly like everyone.. Sadly there is no chance of that ever happening, ever… I feel mostly due to an individuals lack of self love and insecurity (sometimes masked as narcissism). TheContinue reading “Why can’t we all be friends?”

Through the Fog and the Mist

Driving I was filled with a sense of angst and uneasiness. I had been holding onto frustration, disappointment and some anger. Comparison is the thief of joy… we hear that phrase and we generally conclude that we are feeling less than, but sometimes the opposite is true. We expect things from others based on whatContinue reading “Through the Fog and the Mist”

Walking gently away from 2021

Growing up Pop always said “one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure” actually he still says it … 2021 for me, was mostly a treasure and for my last day of 2021, I took the time to really wrap myself up in my riches. I did all the things. It was fabulous. It was fulfilling.Continue reading “Walking gently away from 2021”
