Baby Beast: fit log June 2016

7 months as of June 7th 2016! I honestly did not think I would be celebrating this fitness anniversary. Reason being, this past month has been the hardest of them all. Lifting has been kicking my butt hard. I’ve been so sore and so exhausted. Strength training has been been a challenge since day one […]

Scars and Stripes

It’s been said, that if you think in words you should paint and if you think in pictures you should write. My head is a continual reel of film. On the day of Independence I sat there so very tempted. Having gone nowhere but my kitchen, yet in my mind’s eye all I see is […]

Manhattan

To me, having a lot going on is much preferred over perpetual boredom. The life I live is a full one; I write, I volunteer, I mentor, I manage the family business. I practice TLC with my Service Dog, left hand man, and fur baby. I like to have a lot going on but not […]
