Today my dogs and I, together with some friends, hiked to a waterfall. The hike was a difficult one for me and I was nervous it would be difficult for my dogs as well. The truth is, until we got in the car, I thought we were going to a different waterfall, an easier one … Continue reading Fear, Doubt, and Underestimating

Monday Motivation
Riddle me this: Neither my roommate nor myself left the house today. She spent the day in her room and I spent the day on the couch watching Netflix (The Following and then Three Wives, One Husband - I do have thoughts on both if you're interested). It was glorious.

Last weekend, however, I started Yoga with Adriene’s newest 30 day challenge, TRUE, and just now I did Day … Continue reading Trust vs. Control
Yoga, Young Life, and Dessert
Last year my friend Laura invited her friends (on the internet and in real life) to join her in committing to 100 Days of Sun Salutations. I thought, “That’s a great idea! But I can’t commit to that now.” For whatever reason, the timing wasn’t right, although I probably needed a steady yoga practice last … Continue reading Yoga, Young Life, and Dessert
