They Say With Age, Comes Wisdom…

Love is confusing. It’s complicated, it’s messy, it’s imperfect. It makes mistakes, it slips up, and sometimes it falls flat on its face. Sometimes, we get to a point where love isn’t good enough. We took the chance, crossed our fingers and put ourselves on the line, and it didn’t work out. We loved, but … Read more

Find a New B.F.F. with Gaiam TV: A Fitness Buddy at your Fingertips.

The first week of January, I took a stay-cation to get in some R&R, unwind a little, and kick-start a new workout routine. I followed my kickboxing DVD every day while I was on vacation and I felt great! I got bored with following the same two workouts though, even though I tried rotating them. … Read more

I Don’t Even Know How to Cry

This month has sucked, to be frank. My Dad died. I had to hold it together, I had to tell my brother, I had to plan his funeral, I have to deal with estate stuff, and at some point I need to find the time to grieve. I’ve also been sick. I can’t breathe, I … Read more
