Today I’m celebrating seven years of sobriety. I’m grateful for my sobriety every day. August 5th of 2011 changed my life. It was also the scariest, hardest day, I’ve ever experienced. I walked into the ER with my husband by my side and asked for help. The interesting thing about that day was it was… Continue reading Sobriety | Celebrating Seven Years

How to stop self hate
About a year ago I ran my first marathon. It was the San Diego Rock n’ Roll Marathon. Leading up to the race, I became a little obsessed with doing it “right”. I read a ton of books and blogs, followed a training schedule as closely as I could, and did all the visualizations of… Continue reading How to stop self hate
Improve Marriage Communication | A book that Helped
Recently, my husband and I listened to Gretchen Rubin’s “The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too)”. I have to say, its the book improved marriage communication for us dramatically. It also happens to be a New York Times bestseller, so I don’t… Continue reading Improve Marriage Communication | A book that Helped
Holly Butcher
A few weeks ago I read an incredibly powerful post by Holly Butcher. Her words have had a massive impact on me and so many others. Holly wrote it shortly before she died on January 4, 2018, at the age of 27. Her family was kind enough to share her post with the… Continue reading Holly Butcher
To make a New Year’s resolution or not?
Whether to make a New Year’s resolution or not can be a controversial topic. Some people see it as a good opportunity to refocus, recommit, or move in a completely new direction to make a fresh start. Others feel like resolutions are lame, pointless, and most are generally abandoned by February. I fall into… Continue reading To make a New Year’s resolution or not?

Who hasn’t picked out their Christmas tree yet??? I’m embarrassed to say, I fall into that category. But, it is not too late! In fact, my husband and I have a date set for this Saturday to pick out our little tree. That’s right- a date. Not just a trip to the garage to pull… Continue reading Real Christmas Tree Traditions
Finding Sacramento Podcast
I had the best time on the Finding Sacramento podcast! Earlier this year, I sat down with the host, Nathan Miller, and we chatted about so many things including Sacramento, marathons, triathlons, blogging, sobriety, and finding balance in life.

Forgiveness is key to happiness
Forgiveness can seem like a heavy topic. For many of us, it’s easy to see when others should just let go and forgive. But when we reflect on our own grudges we tend to have a laundry list of reasons why our situations are “different”. Maybe we feel we need to make a point. Or… Continue reading Forgiveness is key to happiness
Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
Over the weekend I came down with a monster stye on my eye. The top eyelid of my left eye swelled up to about double it’s size. Besides being painful and making it difficult to see, I found that my eye wasn’t the only thing that was hurting. My patience took a hit, too.… Continue reading Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
A Course In Miracles
Recently, I mentioned that I read Gabby Bernstein’s awesome book, The Universe Has Your Back. The basic idea in the book is that fear is paralyzing. The more we focus on fear, the more we fear. It’s a neverending cycle that most of us have just come to accept in our everyday lives. Her book… Continue reading A Course In Miracles
