No… really, I am! Sometimes it doesn’t come across that way. Friends and close acquaintances often assume I am an extrovert. This is a fair assumption because I’m very playful and outgoing and express extroverted quality in 2 main areas of my life. The first is with those I am really close to. I’m playful…
Let the games begin
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything and that’s mostly do to the self re-evaluations I’ve been up to. I’ve finally slowed my role and I’m now interested in writing up what I’ve been working on and what I’ve been learning. So the next few posts will be dedicated to this self discovery and experimentation….
Wild Weather
For the last day or 2 we have been having on again off again snow. I love snowstorms, especially when there are huge snowflakes. I love all wild weather! I’m not quite sure why I love this weather but I always have. Perhaps because my spirit is somewhat chaotic and the wild weather is something…
Faces of Fitness
What does it mean to be fit? If I were to poll a group of people would it be based on endurance, strength, asthetics? My guess is that fitness would be directly linked to exercise, but it doesn’t have to be. I would like to propose another way to think about fitness. This is an…
Work vs. Play
For a good portion of my life, work and play have been on opposite ends of the spectrum. Either I was doing productive, necessary work or I was free and playing; but never were they combined. How could they be? In my mind they were opposites. Which isn’t surprising since even the definitions for these…
Horseplay Day
My alarm seemed to go off very early this morning so I hit snooze. Shortly there after my phone rang. Turns out my horses decided that today would be the perfect morning to escape their field and storm around the countryside. As I hurried out to collect them it occurred to me that whenever I…
Imagination Run Wild
I have to admit that I love the ABC series Once Upon a Time. It’s season 3 and in the premiere the main characters Captain Hook, Rumplestiltskin, the Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Charming, and Emma Swan (Daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming) are on their way to Neverland to save Henry (Emma’s son)…
Making peace with your body
Ever since I had my son my mind and my body have not been on the same page. My mind has been very judgmental of my body. I hear myself thinking: “Why does my back hurt? I didn’t have this issue last time I was getting myself in good shape.” “What’s up with my knees?…
Play again
I watched this documentary trailer today and it made me want to take every child I know outside to play. I believe children need more in their lives then video games, phones, TV, and electronics. Take some time (Make that lots of time) and go for a hike, play in a park away from man…
Natural Disaster – Flooding
It’s been a crazy last couple of days. I live in Colorado and for a good portion of the summer it has been hot and dry. That was until September 9th when we received some much needed rain, and then some more rain on the 10th. Woohoo! Then more on the 11th. Wow, what an…
