I’m Not Strong “For A Girl”
“Sign here please,” said the man behind the counter. I took the pen he offered with a nod and scribbled my sorry excuse of a signature on the paper in front of me. Then, sticking my keys in my back pocket, I thanked him and reached for the package I came to pick up. “Here,… Continue reading

Size Strong: Size is a Number, Strength is a Feeling
When I was in high school I—like most teenagers—was extremely self-conscious about my body. I didn’t have the same stick thin build as my friends, and when I saw the way that type of frame was admired, I felt like my own body type was, for lack of a better term: wrong. So, I convinced… Continue reading

Don’t Mind the Gaps & Kick Some Ass
Last January I struggled through—however completed—my first ever 5k. It was a huge feat for me, as the only previous accomplishment I’d made in running was beating my dog in a sprint across the backyard.

As the opening acts played on, more and more people arrived, filling the belly of the theater with bodies and noise. As the minutes remaining… Continue reading

The Boy on the Skateboard
Yesterday after work I went for a run. And since it’s become much more of a common after work activity, I found myself once again opting for a new route, a new change of scenery. I made my way out of my neighborhood and onto the main street, turned left and suffered up a steep… Continue reading

Opening the BIFC Door
As many of you know, my family and I climbed a mountain last year. A MOUNTAIN. It was one of those, “did I really do that?” type of moments that was immediately followed by, “we definitely deserve cake for that.” Let’s just say I opened the BIFC (scientifically pronounced Bifsee) door. We all have this… Continue reading

Debt & Doubt & The Blue Wall
When I was little I used to play tag with my cousins. First, we would rock paper scissors to see who was “it,” then we would name the parameters of the playing field, including the safe zone. In this space—which was usually the blue wall next to our back door—you were not allowed to be… Continue reading
