Lessons in Quarantine

The ink runs deep!

For someone who is known for taking the leap and figuring it out on the way down, getting inked is a long and very deep process for me and why not right?  It’s probably the most permanent thing you can do so yes, the ink runs deep indeed!  I’ve taken up to a year to…

Breakfast of champions!

Overnight oats and I have come a long way and we’ve become total bffs.  I recently took a week or so break from it to switch things up a bit and I’m back on it and it feels so, so good. There are many different opinions and views on whether or not it’s good for…

Good news and great fights!

To say this week my family received wonderful news is quite an understatement.  My mom is cancer free.  I let that sit for a bit before I continued this entry. I’m a live in the present, look ahead, future forward, forget the past kinda girl.  You know, like boxing a “get hit move on” attitude…
