Water. I have a love-hate relationship with water. Why is it so much easier flood my body with yummy Moscato or crisp hard cider or even (eek) diet soda? I know I'm not the only one here... Did you know that 8 glasses of water a day rule is BS? Well, it's an okayish starting... Continue Reading →
I tried the Commit30 Planner. Here’s what happened…
For almost the entire month of December, I was OBSESSED with the Commit30 Planner.

In fact, I've worked this quiet time into my daily routine each morning. After I rise... Continue Reading →

My aching back!
