Nothing like a little bile early in the morning to start the day off right. I think I’ll stick to running and bicycling and a little old school weight lifting. [...]

Not to mention that I’ve been plagued with black heads again and I felt like it was related to my lotion. The helpful lady in the skin section overheard my mom mention that [...]

I’ve been attending teachings offered by my local Buddhist meditation center (Kadampa Meditation Center Maryland) and their branch classes for about a year now. I can say that over the last year I’ve learned a number of wonderful ways to combat the stresses of daily life and [...]

I ran in the Race for the Cure 5k on October 23, 2010. My friends and family really helped to support my cause by donating to the event. My husband came out to wait for me at the finish line and photograph my [...]

My friends and family have been familiar with my ongoing battle with cigarettes through the years. As my husband liked to proclaim, “She’s the best quitter I know!” Unfortunately, what was meant by that [...]

I try to eat well (as close to vegan as I can muster), I exercise (not as often as I should, but I do), I gave up smoking and I meditate. I am currently following the Mahayana Buddhist path which encourages a healthy lifestyle and finding [...]

Or at least kind of a smart alec. So, imagine my surprise when I excitedly bounced up behind him on the steps and said, “Guess what?” and unapologetic he replied, “Vinegar or Duct Tape?” Wow. That really took the wind out of my sails and gave me a darn good nasal [...]

Also, after coming off of a foot injury I’ve been getting my buns back into gear. It’s darn near racing season and I’m in no shape to take on the challenge of the Gravity East Series. So, to get motivated and track my progress I [...]

I love oatmeal packets, but there is so much sugar that over time I stopped using them. I started buying quick cooking oats and [...]

As I craned my neck to see this unusual bread in the [...]
