As I began putting my thoughts down on paper, it is the morning of a mid-November snow day. I have been mulling this over for a week or so, but am putting it to “paper” this morning. My over active mind decided it was time. We are entering the holiday season. Thanksgiving is next […]
With the Labor Day Weekend behind us, summer is unofficially over. For some of us who started back to school a few weeks ago, mentally it has been over longer. With this time comes the proverbial question, “Did you have a good summer?” It is sort of like the question, “How are you?” It’s expected […]
Today I turned 43. I’m in my 40s. I’m middle aged. I can remember high school like it was yesterday but it was 25 years ago. How did that happen? Where did my 30s go? I’m 43 and probably the most comfortable I have ever been with myself. I probably know myself better than I […]
It’s March 11th as I type this and I was able to the get in a short hike this weekend. The last of the winter hikes I’m afraid (although it has snowed today). This is the first winter where I have actively hiked more than just one or two hikes on a nice winter day. […]

I am not exactly sure where I am going with this as I start but maybe in the middle of it I will find my sense of direction. I am a Tom Petty fan. Have been for years. So with his death this week, I am a little mixed with emotions. No I haven’t cried […]
Keep calm and be crazy. Laugh, love and live it up, because this is the oldest you’ve been and the youngest you’ll ever be. Today I celebrate my 34th birthday and honestly it’s been a day just like any other day. Except, like many people I’ve thought about what my life has become…and I think […]
In a couple of my previous blogs and in some of my future blogs, you will see me reference “me and you.” Those three words have a special place in my heart and in my life. Long before I was living a Lagom life, I was living a “me and you” life. Around 2008 Hunter […]
There are many definitions used to describe a “Family.” Obviously, those who are related to you by blood are part of your family, but many of us have people who you are so close to you that you could consider them your own. The members of Parkland Crossfit (PCF) have been mine and Enrique’s second […]
