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!

I love birthdays, whether it be my own or someone else’s. I think everyone’s birthday should be a big deal. A great day to tell and be told, “I’m glad you were born”.

I am so blessed because my birthdays have always been days when I am reminded how great my friends are and how loved I am. This year is no exception.

My best friend is coming in from Chicago tonight to spend the weekend with me. She has NEVER missed a birthday in the almost decade that I have known her, no matter where she is at in life. I am so not worthy of her love 🙂

So, this will be me this weekend:

Fat. Sassy. Relaxing…. except for that 10 mile run on Sunday.

Speaking of running, it has only been 2 weeks, so I guess I can update about the half marathon I ran over Memorial Day; It went much better than I expected it to. I ran the first half in record time, but slowed down in the last few miles, so my time wasn’t awesome, but it gives me a goal for the next one… which is a week from Sunday.

But, until then, I shall enjoy my time with my amazing friends, and be thinking about my amazing friends who can’t be here.

Have a great weekend everyone!
