How to Survive an Alison’s Adventure (Day 7)
Day 7 In a smooth transition from the previous day’s adventures, Day 7 of our trip started off with a morning yoga session where Deb introduced us to the Sanskrit term, “shanti” which means, “peace.” “Shanti shanti shanti,” she said as the sun rose up over the ocean.

2018 Olympics Time Capsule Blog
As I have mentioned before (possibly more times than I’ve realized), I love the Olympics. LOVE. So much so that once every two years I repeatedly say, “no, I can’t hang out today—or any day for the next two weeks—because I’m inside watching every single minute of Olympic coverage I can absorb.” (Undoubtedly while wearing… Continue reading

2017 Goals Check-In (#2)
The fact that we are already one week into July has me feeling a little bit like this: This always seems to happen. One minute you’re ringing in the New Year, the next you’re…ringing in the New Year.
