Happy Thanksgiving! As you turkey trot your way around the local roads and your kitchen this morning, take thanks in every small moment of this day. There are 86,400 seconds in a day; catch these seconds as you live them and give thanks for every small detail of this holiday. If you run a local Turkey
STORMS, HOLIDAYS AND RAINBOW BRIGHT
The dreariness of early nightfall can make late Fall a depressing time of year, full of dark nights and cold rain. Even though we don’t typically seem many rainbows during the Fall or Winter, I do believe that they surround us in our lives more than we typically recognize. Holidays are times that carefully
BIG BABY IN A BIG WORLD
Technology is something that seems to continually remind me that I am just a baby in a big world. It’s always changing, always updating, and the more you learn about it, the more you learn that you have more to learn. Just a simple upgrade from WordPress.com to WordPress.org took me an entire week to
WINE BARS AND FRENCH GLASSES
Wine bars transport me back to France. They encompass everything I used to love about my days living and working in Bordeaux, the days where I “worked” for two hours and then spent the rest of the day with friends and wine at a café. Richmond has a fantastic new little wine bar that I
UNICORN DREAMS
I always loved unicorns as a little girl; they played well with my collection of My Little Ponies and Barbie dolls. I dreamed of real unicorns existing and of their beauty, which is why when I came across this picture, I was so struck by the depth of its message. This desperate little rhino is laboriously
YOGI TEA: FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
Everyone battles self-doubt at some point or another; it is simply in our human nature to do so. It is what we do with that self-doubt that is what makes us or breaks us. Your destiny is in your control, as long as you learn how to conquer your own doubts and how to press ahead towards pursuing what makes
ATTACK OF THE BAD PICTURE
Everyone takes bad pictures, and by bad pictures, I mean that the camera has caught them at an unflattering angle which creates a misrepresenting image. Often though, we allow our minds to create bad pictures that don’t even exist. We allow our self-critical nature distort the images we see in photos, mirrors and in reflections: we
CARNATION DUNES
Tomorrow is a mystery. It is untouchable, unchangeable and unimportant, because today is really the gift that matters. Today is a gift — that’s why it’s called the present — and that’s why it’s so important to focus on today rather than the unknown of tomorrow. It is easy to get caught up in the monotony of the
BARBIE GETS A BIKE
This is me. Or, at least, this is how I felt racing in Clearwater. Perhaps the second picture is more indicative of what I really look like at a race, but the top one is how I felt during the 70.3 race this weekend. As some of the Worlds’ best cyclists flew by me after
MARGARITA SUNSETS
Pain is a powerful thing. It can turn sweet friendships into hardened hearts, warrior athletes into weeping babies, and lovers into broken pieces. The beautiful thing about pain though is its intensity and its redemptive power. Pain intensifies our sensations and self-awareness in the hurt it brings us; and these moments in our life are what
