There are very few of us who have not been affected, touched, and even grieved by cancer. I’ve lost some very important people in my life to Ovarian Cancer… my aunt, and the sister of one of my best friend’s. Both of them died so young, at 42 and 38, respectively. Cancer is a bitch. […]
Hand and foot and mouth… oh my!
This week has been miserable. Mostly for the children, because they’ve had the illness. Hand, foot, and mouth disease, that is. But it’s been miserable for mama too. Because when kids are unhappy, no one is happy. And when children don’t sleep, mom and dad don’t sleep. The worst night of it, poor Tiny was […]
Stick with it…
The Ramblin’ Rose Triathlon {Wordless Wednesday}
My first Triathlon! The Ramblin’ Rose Triathlon. A great one for any woman, of any size, shape, stature, to start out with. We did it, and I can’t wait to train for another one!

Lying Cold and on the Floor
I couldn’t stand up. I did not want to stand up. I did not want to get dressed or eat or leave the apartment. I just lay still on the floor as tears rolled down my face. I was paralyzed by something I just did not understand. I was afraid if I left to go […]
Garcenia Cambogia: Miracle Weight Loss Solution??
It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I am continually battling with my weight. Up and down and all around. I blame part of it on a bum thyroid, a lot of it on a sedentary lifestyle (except when I’m training to run half marathons lol!) but mostly it is due to the […]

Music {Moxie Thursday – Health/Fitness Linky}
Music has such power over me. It can change my emotions instantly. A song can take me back in time in a flash to a memory of another time I listened to that song. “Songs that remind us of the better times…” but sometimes songs that re mind me of the not so better times. […]

From Couch to 5K – in ONE day!
I did it! I ran a 5k! With no training! I literally went from Couch to 5K – in ONE day! Why? you ask. Why not? I say! *Disclosure – I do NOT recommend this for anyone who has never run and is not currently at least a little bit active! So here is how […]
Living with Chronic Pain
I have never written about my journey with Hashimoto’s (thyroid disease) or Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus. Of all the topics I cover regularly, it hasn’t fit into my editorial calendar. However, it’s on my mind a lot. I have been drafting a post about trying to follow the Hypothyroid Diet and how my joints are […]
