Life, love and getting (amazing) stuff done

Love always gets me.
Specifically, writing about love. I get choked up over my own writing all the time. It leaves me on the brink of tears during copy edit and melts my senses without warning.
There’s something about reading love that makes us all a little weak [...]

I always feel a little sad when I listen to those music countdowns of one-hit wonders. I can’t help but think: what happened?
Did they blow all their cash on beer and groupies? Did they decide one hit was enough? That they didn’t need more hits?
.
Maybe.
But maybe that isn’t you.
Maybe you find your routine [...]

If you’re like most homeowners, you don’t like paying for interior design. Instead, we’d rather spend hours of our life and free time researching design – on the Internet, through luxurious home magazines and hours of HGTV.

Here are three things I learned:
1. Using only water to cleanse is very liberating. I felt like a rebel against conventional skin care and it felt awesome.

Put the four of us in a car and we’ll stew like a batch of cranky soup waiting to boil.
Call it PMS.

Whatever you call it, there are days I love to hate the people I love. I’m a firecracker waiting to explode.
So [...]

Picture this: a still, snowy evening lit by a full moon. A teenage girl leaves her family’s home, bundled and unaware of any danger. Her breath makes swirling clouds that hang in the air, following her movements. Crunch, crunch, crunch…. The sound of snow beneath her boots, the only sound breaking the icy night. Or [...]

There are some days I simply do not want to workout; I’d give anything to avoid letting my feet hit the cold, horrible ground.
Instead, I slam the “snooze” and snuggle back into my fluffy cloud.
Instead of letting the guilt of a missed workout consume me, I’ve found a 10-minute workout I can always fit [...]
