I am thrilled to have kept up with my mile a day running adventure this fall and I am glad that it's over. You may remember me blogging about this in November and you've seen the daily running shoe photos if you follow me on Instagram, but I ran at least one mile every day…

I spent a decent amount of time this summer developing a self-paced workshop with Big Picture Classes on goal-setting. It's sort of a organized brain dump of everything I have learned over the past few years about staying inspired and motivated while setting and working towards personal goals. Because my 2012 "one little word" has…

Wrapping up my 2012 with one last set of monthly goals. (I am not sure how I'll be goal setting in next year.) This fall has been a bit odd for me, and it's been hard to come up with specific things to do. All I really want to do is enjoy this season. Enjoy…

Last year, I ran a mile every day from Thanksgiving until New Years. You can read about it here. This was challenging adventure and something I am planning on undertaking again this year. The biggest thing to note before you start is that this is hard. The first two days or so are fun. Maybe…

For the first time, I had a hard time coming up with goals this month. Not sure what the deal is other than knowing we'll be out of town so much of September makes it hard to figure out what I want and need from this month. Really, I am just hoping for a great…

Sometimes, I take photos throughout the week and then have a healthy assortment to share here on Fridays. Other times, I take all my photos around the house on Thursday afternoon in a few minutes. This week, I took them over a few hours in my office on Wednesday. They absolutely were not supposed to…

One of my July goals was to buy produce only from the farmer's market. I'll be the very first to say that in Southern California, we have it easy. Our summer farmer's market carries a large variety of fruits and vegetables. Buying only from the market (that we're lucky enough to have set up across…
