Broken & Betrayed
And my own body is the culprit. From a young age we are told if we want something bad enough, if we are willing to work hard for that thing, then we will earn our hearts desire. But what if that desire is a baby? What if we’re willing to do anything it takes to add to our family, and it still doesn’t happen? This is my reality, I am infertile. I can’t begin to express how hard that word is {Read More}
Social Media Hiatus
Due to a complication from a routine eye surgery, I am on a social media/computer hiatus. I will return when my vision and eye health are restored. I appreciate your support.
Why I’m never registering for a race again
Yeah yeah, I’m being melodramatic-just allow me this one day, and I’ll slightly amend that to “registering early”. I haven’t talked about it on here because frankly-I was super bummed.

It’s so darn hard to gain momentum and when it happens-wow, just wow. It’s a euphoric feeling when all of those little decisions start falling into place and filling in the big picture. It’s like in the cartoons when a light bulb goes off over the {Read More}
