I logged on today to perform some housekeeping on the blog. The thing about having a blog is, it’s like anything else, a job, a vegetable garden, a dream, even a relationship, they all require attention and care. Ignore it and you may find yourself waking up one day to realize that the neglect has lead…

Resistance
The last week of summer is upon us and I am straddling two worlds. One without alarms, direction or to-do lists. The other filled with stacks of paperwork, unopened emails and projects that became covered in dust. I begrudgingly begin the transition this week back into a more structured life although my heart wants to…
Light at the End
I sit here feeling motivated in the early hours to grab this little window of time to check in and tell you all that I am finally healing, on more levels than one. This week marks 11 weeks of ice, elevation, acupuncture, taping, grinding therapy and miles upon miles of recumbent cycling. I still walk…
Knee Surgery Number 3
Two months ago as I pivoted towards the kitchen I felt a familiar pinch in my right knee. I immediately took stock in my most complicated joint, twisting and rotating, asking myself what is this? I resumed motion but there was a new awareness, something was not quite right. The next morning I woke up and…
Leaving the Nest
A few weeks ago while scanning Facebook I saw a post from the University of Arizona about a recently discovered hummingbird nest that was perched above a walkway, on the very end of a dangling cable at the new Environmental and Natural Resources Building (ENR2). They set up a camera within inches, allowing us to…
Then and Now
Can I just say how weird it feels to blog? I miss it. Almost as much as I miss my cat. I’ve come to realize that in a sea of domestic duties, checkbook balancing and other parental responsibility that this little corner of the interwebz was more than a little side gig, it was my…
Survival Mode
I survived. That’s what I want my t-shirt to say. The one I would wear so that when people I haven’t seen or talked to in a while ask “What happened?” I can just point to my chest. I had every intention of starting off the year with a renewed sense of purpose and felt…
Transitions
I have been wanting to sit down and just write for the last few weeks but have never given myself permission to just blog for the sake of blogging. I didn’t know if I wanted to keep doing the same thing day in and day out anymore and a part of that is the sitting…
The Busy Contest
It’s July and all I can think about is how much work I still have to do, not how much I have accomplished instead, I focus on the missing part. The proverbial half empty glass. I can barely look at a calendar without being reminded that I haven’t filed a Life In Session post in…
skipping a beat
I really can’t believe its July 1st. I mean seriously, I can not wrap my head around this. This week is full of milestones, one I’m happy about and the other, not so much. I meant to sit down and tell you all about it but life and when I say I life I mean…
