Winter is here, son! I’m real pumped. On Wednesday I was running around the mountains in a sports bra, and by Thursday afternoon the temps dropped down to the 30s and beautiful chunks of snow were falling from the sky. I love it so, so much. I wish I loved snow this much when I …
Part-time. Full heart.
THREE of the FOUR people (the most sad, yeah? LOL) who voted in my Twitter poll want to hear more about my job life right now. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. Here we go. Right now I have three part-time jobs. I work at Rapha Boulder, Athleta, and I’m starting some freelance jobs, like, today. …
Honesty and Heartbreak and Finding My Way Back To The Mat
I work at Athleta now. That is just one of three part-time jobs I'm juggling out here in Colorado. Full-time writing gigs in the ad world are few and far between these days. I know this schedule isn't forever, but it's working-ish so far. But that's another post I'm working on right now. So, yeah. …

Stay On Earth (Tampa, FL) or Save Humankind (move to Colorado)?
Last night I watched Interstellar, that movie starring Matthew McConaughey and no one else important.

My Last Ten Dollar Bill
Just a few months ago I would have given anything to do what I did this week: drop everything, move out west, and run mountain trails with the cows. This guy didn't budge as I ran by—I was just inches from him! I guess they are so used to people by now that they mind …
TPA >>> BDR: Day Two
I'm feeling a bit like a gypsy, driving from city to city in a car packed to the gills with all my most precious items like my bike trainer, bike helmets, bike shoes, bike bibs—oh, and the boyfriend jeans I wear every single day. I haven't shaved in a couple days because I can't remember which …
When You Are Ready To Write
Next week is my 28th birthday. And next week I'll be moving myself, my bike, and a stuffed little Honda Civic across the country to Colorado. !!! Here I am, on the edge of a huge, gigantic, mega-enormous and exciting life change and all I keep thinking is: am I doing it wrong? My path …
“There Are Coffee Shops Everywhere” and other Metaphors For Leaving A Place You Love and Being OK With It
Ali and I had coffee again. This Ali. The one who dropped all that amazing universe talk on me last weekend. (See below.) << Follow me on Twitter for more stories just like these. >> We chatted about work and school and fitness and figuring out how to create lives we can be proud of. …
