Hoping this isn’t a repeat but if it is..it’s a good one! Thanks Carole!! You do have a Brave, Open Heart! A dear friend of mine, Carole MacLean, shared this quote with me. I started to write about it and then realized it can stand on its own because in one short sentence it sums […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! Technology Saved the Day
June 6, 2013 by
I often say I am just tech savvy enough to be dangerous even though my husband calls me the “gadget queen”.

If I rock the bike, why not the run?
April 3, 2013 by
I hate being fooled. I especially hate it when I do it to myself. Getting my bike set up with the bike trainer and actually enjoying training inside was such a surprise to me. I loved it. So much so I slacked off on my running. I figured that if I was doing all this […]

Friends don’t let friends ride their bikes naked!
August 6, 2012 by
Well its true! Actually I am pretty adamant about not letting my friends ride naked. Those that do get me riled up and on my soapbox. Wait. Maybe I should clarify naked. OR Maybe I should have gone with my first choice for a title which was really a question. What do ER nurses call […]
