A few days ago a wonderfully amazing man shared 5 words with me that resonated like nothing has before. Austin's text simply said "I want to feel life". Regardless of what he was replying to me about, that text stood out from everything else. In fact, I kept going back to it, and re-reading it,... Continue Reading →
The one rule to live by that I took away from "Deadpool" (which I loved btw) was Maximum Effort. Always give your best, push your hardest and no matter what...never leave home without a weapon lol! But some days are much MUCH harder than others. Yesterday was one of the harder ones for me. Everything... Continue Reading →
Last night I had an issue with my new car. Its a 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI with only 16k miles on it and suddenly, out of nowhere, it started squealing like a banshee when the wheels were in motion. I love my little Cherry Bomb and when I had no warning lights on my console... Continue Reading →

Sometimes in my life I get reminders. Hints of what my life could have been like, both good and bad. Yesterday I had one of those reminders. When I got up yesterday morning, it took some time, coffee and 4 episodes of 'Criminal Minds' to get me going. But once I had my shower I... Continue Reading →
This past week has been one of the hardest weeks I have had to endure in quite a while. Not only did I have a rough week breathing due to horrible air conditions over the past weekend, I also had to put my puppy down this past Monday. Macho has been with Greg & I... Continue Reading →
I took this photo yesterday before I went to train for the first time in almost a month. It has been hard the past couple of months and I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was wrong then I went to compete in Las Vegas and I knew something was definitely off. I could... Continue Reading →
