As I wrote a few weeks ago, my husband and I have been considering adopting another dog. We lost our sweet Reilly (our beagle of 14 years) to cancer in May. For everyone who has lost a pet, you know the sadness and emptiness your house feels for sometime after the pet moves on. Reilly… Continue reading We’ve officially added to our family!

I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and our frame of mind determines how much we allow ourselves to experience the beauty each day has to offer.
Almost five years ago, I was depressed, physically weak and spiritually broken. Now I feel all the blessings of a healthy life and a grateful attitude.
From positive vibes to simple pleasures- I'm sharing my thoughts on all the little things that make life truly amazing.
Sacramento Tea | The Novel Tea Shop
I’m a huge fan of a good cup of tea. Growing up with my parents, we always capped off the evening with a cup of hot tea. In fact, my dad’s suggested remedy to me and my sister for everything- from a cold to broken heart- was a “nice cup of tea”. Needless to… Continue reading Sacramento Tea | The Novel Tea Shop

Heading to Hawaii soon? If you’re like many vacationers to the islands, you are probably contemplating if you should add a luau to your excursion list.

Pre-Vacation Worries
Just hearing the word “Vacation” makes most of us smile. Getting a few days off work to go somewhere new and take in the sites exactly what most of us crave. It’s also wonderful to take time off and be with family and just enjoy each others company. That is what I am about… Continue reading Pre-Vacation Worries
Give Away What You Want to Receive
If you’ve cracked a self-help book in the past decade, you’ve not doubt heard this statement: Give Away What You Want to Receive I’ve struggled with the concept, but the more I try it, the more it seems to actually be a smart way to live life. Funny how that happens. Many people… Continue reading Give Away What You Want to Receive
Alcoholics in Movies | The Girl On The Train
Over the weekend I went to see The Girl On The Train. I’d read the book, so I knew the storyline and I was really happy that the movie didn’t disappoint. It was just as intense and suspenseful as the book. For those who haven’t seen the movie yet, or read the book, I won’t give anything… Continue reading Alcoholics in Movies | The Girl On The Train
Power of Group Workouts
When it comes to working out, I’m a firm believer in the power of group workouts. But, I didn’t use to be this way. Until about two years ago, I was a solo runner. I liked the idea of working out when I wanted to, and at my own pace. However, everything changed… Continue reading Power of Group Workouts
Making Space
As I mentioned in a post last week, I received a promotion at work. I’m thrilled. I get to work on many of the same projects I’m already working on, just at a higher level of responsibility. I say bring on the challenge. With this promotion comes a new office. Which means packing… Continue reading Making Space

Time to Add to the Pack?
I’m a very conflicted dog mom. As I wrote about a while back, our beloved Reilly, our beagle of 14 years, passed away on May 31 of this year. He was wonderful dog and I miss him to pieces. He had cancer and his little body was ready to go, so I know in my… Continue reading Time to Add to the Pack?
