The changing from summer to fall can bring many mixed emotions. There may be sadness for the loss of the beach days and steady doses of Vitamin D. Some feelings could be exhaustion from the constant sneezing and need to boost the immune system. And then, there is the annoyance that can come with the time-consuming home and garden winterizing process. There is also the excitement that the AC will ...

This past weekend, I did something I never thought I would do: hike a fourteener solo.If you would have told me last year at this time how much my life would be changing in the next year (and that I would be hiking a fourteener alone in twenty fourteen), I would have laughed. I do not usually like change.However, this year has ended up being full of big changes for me--the biggest being my move ...

Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of summiting my first fourteener with a couple other adventurous ladies from WinterWomen. After living in Colorado since the year 2000 and leading an active lifestyle, it was about time!

When I lived in South Florida many years ago, I was fortunate enough to be part of an organization that ended up being a part of my life forever. I was working for a pottery studio at the time, and one of my fellow acquaintances asked if I would do a mural for a big production called “The Vagina Monologues." I know what you’re thinking, the vagina WHAT?? The first thought that came into mind was, ...

As we roast in the heat during this unusually hot and dry summer, we're all doing our best to stay cool- like blasting the AC in our cars on the way home after work, and keeping the shades drawn during the day to prevent our homes and offices from becoming a sauna. As much as we look forward to summer once mud season begins, it's always a disappointment when we feel forced to stay indoors when ...
