Today I went live on Facebook to talk about our efforts to eradicate the words “I can’t” from our vocabularies. I think my favorite part of the #IAmLimitless movement is the PERSEVERANCE, even in the face of adversity. It’s easy feeling on top of the world and like anything is possible when things are going well. It’s SO much…
Ok, I didn’t go out on a date with a full-blown nudist. We were in a bar in Portland. Wearing many, many layers of clothes. Though it might not be that far-fetched since I have been kicked out of a coffee shop because my date was barefoot and have been on a second date to…
I went to see Coco last night. (Side note: amazing!) The theater showed a holiday-themed Frozen “long short” beforehand, centered around holiday traditions. While my date and I were not as impressed as his 3-year-old niece probably would be, it got me thinking about traditions. I LOVE Christmas. The snow, the lights, the trees. Yummy…
After I got back from my last trip to NC, I got together with a friend whose mother was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. She’s in what I told her is the hardest stage, where they know how bad it is but haven’t finalized a treatment plan yet. There are no words to really explain…
I wish I could run every day. As much as I’d love that, my body just won’t have it. I wish I could ski every day. I wish I could bust out a badass flow on my mat every day. My body just won’t have it. My body just isn’t capable of going hard in…
I hate, hate, hate when people tell me they can’t do something, especially when it comes to yoga. I’m not flexible enough, is the most common excuse. I’m not strong enough. I could never do a handstand. It’s too hot. I’m too stressed and busy. It’s too weird, with the chanting, “ohms,” and incense. I’m…
#tbt to 8 years ago, just a young little chippy studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain. For years I’d been a runner, mostly playing sports and training for those sports. But I ran a lot. Even though I’d exercised, trained, and been very active for most of my life, I thought I maxed out at 3-4…
I’m in a slump. A funk. A I just wanna curl up on the couch in a snuggly blanket mood. I think it’s somewhat universal, at least up here in Portland. We’ve had maybe a few days of sunshine in months, let alone a warm and beautiful spring season. It’s hard to maintain a bright and…
Not too long ago, we were pretty ready for 2016 to end and to slay in 2017: Me In 2017 GIF However, I have to say, 2017 hasn’t started off all that much better. I was sick most of January. We had two more Snowpocalypse episodes, effectively shutting down the city. There’s some serious stuff going on…
So the rumors are true. There are in fact two waves to the virus that took me down during New Year’s. It hasn’t hit nearly as hard, but for going on five days now, I’ve been low energy, snotty, and super congested. Luckily the sore throat has been minimal this round too. I’ve actually been…
