Signed, sealed, and delivered, I'm yours! We all love getting fun mail, but the practice of sending letters and packages now seems to be reserved for special events.

Weekend Recap
Whoop, there it is! Last week was one of those weeks that started slow and then Friday hit like a pie in the face. I started a new role within my company that requires an entirely different set of skills than previously used on my old team, so the Friday afternoon sunshine was welcomed.
Starting from Scratch.
Can you remember the last time you were a beginner at something? It’s hard. It’s plain hard, especially, when you know what you were once capable of doing on a regular basis. I’m a lifelong mediocre athlete. I played high school tennis, but solidly held onto the 4th singles slot. I was and still am… Continue reading Starting from Scratch.
Havana, Cuba
February was a whirlwind of traveling: three cities, two different travel companions, two beaches, in only in seven days!

These sweaters are generally of the "ugly" variety, and lighting candles every night is more socially acceptable.… Continue reading ‘Tis The Season: Weekend Review
Time Flies
Time flies when you don't write anything! I'd love to do a recap post, but how to condense an entire year into a few hundred words is beyond me. Instead, I'll provide a couple of bulleted highlights and move forward with my year and plans to blog. Always look forward and don't look back, right?… Continue reading Time Flies
Day in the Life #1
Everyday is different, but this is a glimpse into last Wednesday. 7:00 Alarm #1. Roll over, turn on light, turn on coffee, scroll through email and instagram. 7:30 Make lunch, "bake" Shakeology protein pancake for breakfast, fill water bottle, and turn off lights in the apartment. 7:40 Slip on shoes and out the door with… Continue reading Day in the Life #1
Long Flight Travel Tips
Flights are long, even the short 2- 2.5 hour flights can seem long if you aren’t prepared. Every person travels differently and has different needs to meet, but one thing we all agree on are the need for entertainment and snacks.
