I have been feeling overwhelming gratitude for all the good in my life.
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
– Brian Tracy
For the arrival of spring and these beautiful flowers blooming in our front yard. Daylight Savings Time starts this weekend and I am so looking forward to longer days and more time spent out in the warm sunshine.
For peanut butter (they can’t all be serious! :)). My friend Cristen introduced me to this variety of peanut butter from Trader Joe’s and I am in love.
For my sweet Sullie who makes me smile every single day. My parents just adopted a golden retriever yesterday from a rescue organization and it makes my heart so happy that this dog now has a home. (I will post a picture when I have one!)
For my fabulous fellow yoga teacher trainees. I am so lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of people who I know will be in my life for many years to come.
For my supportive husband who is helping more than I could ever ask while I’ve been so busy with teacher training. From cooking dinner to helping with laundry to just being there with a hug when I get home. I am especially grateful that we will be enjoying a much-needed vacation together soon (and an update on that – we are still trying to decide where to go!).
What are you feeling grateful for right now?

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

I recently traveled to Big Bear Lake, California for the inaugural Big Bear Peaks + Pines three-day stage race hosted by TransRockies Running. This was my third TransRockies event in 12 months (see also Colorado + Moab) and I’m here to tell you that they can do no wrong when it comes to race organization [...]

Happy weekend! Another week in the books! I got three runs in (6.5 miles, 5.5 miles, 5.5 miles) and I have a trail run planned for tomorrow. Total weekly mileage will end up around 30-35 miles depending on if I go for 13 or 17 tomorrow! I’m 16 weeks out from the Golden Ultra so [...]

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]

Hi and happy May! As we roll into the first full week of a new month, I have almost a month’s worth of lunch ideas for you. It’s a great mix of sandwiches, bowls, salads and wraps. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration for your midday meal! Open-faced chickpea salad sandwich on toasted [...]
