Just try it – lessons learned

January 30, 2013

How many times do we miss opportunities because of preconceived notions? If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I love exercise. A recent experience made me think twice about my assumptions.

The zen of snow shoveling

As a fitness obsessed person devotee, I am always looking for ways to add more activity into my daily life. Snow shoveling is one way to do so. Why I love shoveling snow and why I can appreciate its zen qualities: 1. I love being outside in the cold and being active. It reminds me […]

My 2012 blogging in review

January 10, 2013

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for my blog. Here’s an excerpt: 600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 5,700 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 10 years to get […]

Lessons learned from chia seeds and tart cherries

October 10, 2012

Am I food obsessed? It would appear so since my last few blog posts have been about food. As I am slowly recovering from my hip injury, I am trying like heck to maintain my fitness level. A big part of fitness is eating right. My two newest finds are chia seeds and tart cherries. […]

A new love

October 4, 2012

I have a new love. My dear husband doesn’t have to worry though, because it’s a store. I’m currently in love with Whole Foods. I still love Trader Joe’s, since they do tend to be cheaper. But, Whole Foods is a nicer store. Let’s be honest, Trader Joe’s has a funny smell. It’s not that […]

Move beyond the hype

September 27, 2012

Would you want to look like this? Would you buy a product that promised you would look like this? The marketing copy for the product says:(taken directly from the Beach Body website) “Man Up. Commit to the Beast. And go from scrawny to brawny in 90 days or less. Get big. And get noticed. With […]

Are you for real?

September 19, 2012

It took me until my 40’s to be real. Up until then, I was following what I thought I “should” be doing. Now I follow my heart. And you know what? I’m happier and more successful. It’s also about being authentic. We keep hearing that for social media to be effective, you must be authentic. […]

Reflections on the end of summer

September 12, 2012

I’m torn about summer coming to an end. On one hand, I will miss all the hours of daylight. I love getting up early – can we say 4 am?. By the time I’m done with my healthy breakfast at 5 am, it’s already getting light outside. On the other hand, this has been a […]

Lesson learned from a visit to the Boston Tea Party Ship

September 7, 2012

What better way to spend a beautiful sunny summer day than near the water? A dear friend invited me to visit the newly opened Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum and we had a blast. I always love it when I’m inspired to write a blog post about my everyday experiences and this was no […]

The Internet – too much of a good thing

August 15, 2012

Knowledge is power and making an informed decision requires information. That’s what the Internet is for, right? I agree, with some reservations. I have been having lots of pain in my right hip and it’s getting worse, not better. This is in spite of resting it, which has been driving me crazy, since I love […]
