Squeezed in two short workouts
Weeks ago, I did a few posts about working out and getting back into a routine. I failed at that attempt, so I’m back to finding ways to motivate myself to get back into a routine. I haven’t found my motivation yet, but today, at least, I managed to squeeze in two 10-minute workouts. I… — read more

I’m back
I’ve rather enjoyed this one year of writing, and I’m here to sign up for another. Well, this time around, I’m not looking to a specific challenge–at least not at the moment. I do, however, intend on writing every day as much as I can. Even though I do my best to mention too many… — read more

365: Day 365 – Mexican Mother’s Day
And so it seems that we now come to the final day of this year-long project. I didn’t realize that this would end on Mexican Mother’s Day, but it is a fitting conclusion to this little project.

I loved seeing all the potted plants and so many flowers. The day was perfect. The marine layer had already… — read more

365: Day 362 – Night drive thoughts
Even though I tend to stay up late, I am usually at home early. A few years ago, I wouldn’t think twice about being out and about late into the night and into the single digits of the clock. Tonight I ended up being on the road past midnight due to a combination of things:… — read more

365: Day 361 – Perspectives
There are two sides to a story, and then there’s the truth. I’ve heard some variation of this many times, and it’s absolutely true. Except when it comes to me because I’m always right. All kidding aside, I encountered this today when talking to two different people about the same issue. It was fascinating to… — read more

365: Day 360 – Busy Busy
I’m so close to wrapping up this 365 thing, and I’m failing miserably. I haven’t been delayed in my posts because I’ve lost interest. I’ve been incredibly busy with a few important and lengthy reports due at the beginning of the month. On top of that, this week, we have two internal campaigns going on:… — read more
