I am a public relations, communications, and marketing integrator who has a passion for learning, consuming, and communicating that can’t be satiated. I believe that communication is at the core of all things. When done right, it can ignite change, sell products, spark ideas, strengthen relationships, and even change history. To me, for these reasons, having the opportunity to create someone’s message or tell a story is an awesome responsibility. Whether it be for a brand, a global corporation, or a population in need, I have the duty to be an ethical leader, creative genius, idea generator, content creator, and any number of other things. I can’t imagine waking up to do anything else. Life is short, but it is amazing! Take chances, be creative, work hard, lead with your heart, always be kind, give back, and never stop learning. My goal in life is to always love what I do, and try to handle every situation with grace and humor. P.S. Go Spartans!

My body hurts in the best/worst way

It feels so great to be back in the gym.  I got my ass handed to me during a strength training session today.  I felt like my hamstrings and abs were going to explode out of my body. 

It kind of sucked because, after a month off, I was not at the level I am used to.  I was spent, tank completely empty, where as I feel like before I could have rocked it harder.  But I will get it back.

It was just great to be sweating so hard working, what felt like, every muscle in my body!

Tomorrow is a run day 🙂

But I promise I won't chew anything

I’m going to need Paul to carry me like this tomorrow…

Such a great day!

Had an amazing, ass-kicking workout at 6 this morning, a great day at work, and a 2 mile run this evening.  

I feel great!

I have scheduled my strength training class for tomorrow night after work, and I will just keep it rolling like this 🙂

After a month off, it felt really great to be back in the gym…in that shitty, “I’m dying” type of way.

Hope everyone had a great Monday!

You can do it!

I have been up since 3 and I can’t sleep…

I am too tired to be productive, and too awake to sleep.  I hate that!  So now I am just here pondering life’s deepest questions like: how can my baby girl, Peyton, eat her body weight in cat food every day and still weigh six pounds?  What am I going to get Paul for Christmas (and when am I going to get my holiday wardrobe in order)?  And who let Hilary Duff on “Gossip Girl”?

See, being up this late/early with nothing to occupy your mind is damaging to the psyche.

so funny

Good morning !

I had a great run with a friend of mine on Wednesday night, and it felt so great to be out there in the crisp air! I can’t wait to pick my next race (other than the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving).

Other than being a little pudgier than I would like, life is great!

Planning a run tonight, tomorrow, and a longer one on Sunday.

Love to all! Happy Friday!
