The Longest Day

Good people doing good things.  I like that. Today I'm going to share a story about my friend Ann Glascock-Ryan,  She has her "why" nailed down!   (Nail Your Why)  As a child Ann moved around the paths, hills, and roads of middle Marin on foot, her blue bike with the banana seat, or by horseback.  Now …

Nail Your ‘Why’

It's all fine and dandy to set a goal, map out a plan and march forward.  Figuring out what you want to do is important.   But do you know your "why"? Your "why" is the reason you are going to put forth all of the time, energy, and effort to even start on the …

Bad Advice

I have listened to a certain podcast for a while.  I like the guests they have on the show but sometimes their advice is horrible.  And while I'm no expert in everything, I have some experience and tips that you may find useful. So in honor of their bad advice, here are three common issues …

Planting the Seed

Planting.  That's what I've done this Spring Break. Well, first there was the pulling of all weeds in the boxes that run along the fence.  Then there was planting. Well, before planting I had to  figure out what to plant.  Or rather, what to plant that would survive.  My backyard borders get full sun and …

Why Yes, I Am Talking To You

In my quest to be something 'huge' in the fitness business with this blog (I say tongue firmly planted in cheek), I've learned quite a bit about myself, my message, and more importantly whom I want to write to.  Or to whom I wish to write.  I always get that messed up. My main goal …

Centered

I'm a little WooWoo, I'll admit it.  I like meditation.  I can stand in line at Starbucks waiting for my coffee (not tea, so maybe I'm only a smidge Woo Woo) and just stand there, not looking at my phone as I observe things around me.   When I do yoga I totally get that "supported …

Going for Goals

  I like setting goals.  But I like tracking my progress even more. I mark off the days I stay plant-based (day 382), the number of days I've meditated using Headspace (day 23), I log my runs in my planner, and once I start training for my next race I'll pull out the spreadsheet to …

Salad Toast

I love making a big bowl of Creamy Savory Oats for breakfast.  It's hearty.  It's creamy.  It's savory.  It's everything I love in a breakfast food. Sometimes, however, I'm in the mood for something a little different.  Let me introduce you to Salad Toast. Salad Toast combines fresh greens, a bright and sweet dressing with creamy …
