I have an amazing kindness team that includes three women who are way kinder than I am. I’m not being humble. It’s true.
They also have a way of noticing the kindness around them, which continues to inspire me to see it in my own life.
Sarah Tachon, who is my marketing guru, shared this refreshing story of kindness that I wanted ... Read More
My daughter wants me to run a half-marathon with her. Not just any race, she wants to run the Walt Disney World half marathon. I suppose since she’s 13, she will want me to pay for it too.
It all sounds a little goofy to me. (I’m sorry. I just couldn’t resist.)
I told her that as a 42-year-old non-runner, there ... Read More

Kindness lady? Ha. If people could only ... Read More
I did it! I kept my feet moving in a fast-paced back and forth motion for 10 whole minutes!
If you don’t understand why this is a big deal, then you are clearly an elite athlete. Congratulations.
As I was driving to the running trail yesterday, my mind was at war. “What am I doing? This is dumb. I should ... Read More
Today I will run. That sounds like the title of a children’s book sitting on my shelf. Maybe it is. I’d get up and look, but then I would be giving in to procrastination. I have two big plans for the day: 1) writing in my cancer journal and 2) RUNNING!
I’m actually excited to see if I can do it. ... Read More
I am going to need an intervention people. My motivation to take care of myself is dwindling. I still shower and get dressed before 2 in the afternoon, but I’m quickly developing a whole host of other bad habits.
For example, BD (before diagnosis), I was at the gym at 9am every day like clockwork. It could be the laziness of ... Read More
