Best Lazy Day Workout

So the other day, I was walking through the park.  I’d been cooped up in the house all day and hadn’t done much in terms of, well, movement.  Shall we say, I needed some exercise.  But as I walked I couldn’t help but feel sluggish.  Hell, let’s be honest, I was feeling pretty damn lazy.  [...]

A Boulder Pit Stop

When people ask where I’m from, I generally tell them I’m from Vegas.  Which is sort of true.  I lived in Las Vegas for several years before I left Nevada.  On the other hand, I didn’t actually grow up in Las Vegas.  I grew up in a small suburb just outside of Vegas called Boulder [...]

Not that difficult. [...]

Gettin’ Real on Twitter

This week has been insane.  Between packing the apartment, stressing over details with the movers and loading my car to drive to Vegas before the long road to Seattle — well, let’s just say, I’ve been busy. All of this made me miss my Thursday post (I know, the shame). No worries.  I’ll be back [...]

Two Obsessions: Music and Moving

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. I started packing.  Finally. I, for one, think I’ve started this whole thing quite early.  But as everyone and their brother has asked me every day for the past few weeks if I’ve started packing yet, I suppose that’s not the popular [...]

Ithaka by C.P. Cavafy

This post was written by Heather Rae.  Follow me on Twitter or Facebook. As I continue my short hiatus this week, I’d like to reintroduce you to one of my absolute favorite poems.  Seriously, this writing inspires me.  When I’m feeling a bit lost, am seeking the meaning of it all or am in need [...]
