Improving Lifestyle
Perspective Helps Everything
It’s marathon (and half-marathon, and marathon-relay) day for a lot of people in Rochester. Good luck everyone! Seems like a good day to walk or run! And as I am sitting here trying to motivate myself to clean or go to spinning class, the dull ache in my knee reminds me that I can’t run–there’s …
First Days – How Do You Prepare?
Today was my first day of school (Sorry, Mom. I didn’t take a picture beforehand!). I keep reading on facebook about how people were dreading the first day (teachers) or how they were super excited about it (parents). Teaching college students is probably way different than teaching the little people—in college, you talk to grown-up …
Leos don’t like to budget…
I’m not actually into astrology (I tried to be—but for three months straight my horoscope was 99% wrong, which feels statistically impossible even for guessing! So I gave up on it). However, I read one time that Leos don’t like to budget, and I can totally relate to that. Even though I was working hard …
Be Present
As if we haven’t heard this one before! I was at an orientation class tonight for teaching a couple new (to me) classes, and one of the speakers talked about how to deal with disruptive students…you know, the ones who text, talk, walk in late, eat Taco Bell (and aside from the smell being disruptive, …
Mixing the Old with the New
Today was my first official day “off” after being done wellness coaching at RIT. Somehow, I filled the entire day (until now) with work…but what a fabulous feeling to not get up at 4am! Even though I’m still busy (somehow I ended one job and added three…we’ll see how that goes!), I feel like I …
You Know You’ve Changed When…
I am helping to plan a baby shower for this weekend (although Kyle has done most of the work since we are having a hard time meshing our schedules…for the last 6 months or so). I’m bringing some of the food, and for some reason this is proving to be more difficult than I anticipated. …
The 8th Wonder?
My cousin, Kristen, is visiting from LA this week. She is a lot of fun (and is super busy because she is going to be filming a season of her new show this winter in Vancouver). The interesting things to me about having her here are (1) she makes it obvious to me how much …
Small Details…BIG IMPACT
I’ve been extremely busy for the past five days. I have two new potential jobs (that are requiring me to do a lot of prep-work), I’m still teaching seven classes, working more than full-time, and ….we moved this past weekend. Oh, and Matthew spent the weekend with us too. I’m happy to say that I’m …
