I’ve been digging red, white, and blue, stars and stripes, army greens, and camo lately. I’m all about the American pride and I’m just itching for summer, the 4th of July, BBQs, and sweating my fanny off working out outside. #omgicantwait (Yes, I just used an irrelevant hashtag – #whatofit!?). Presenting my wants of the … Continue reading
Weekend Reflections.
This past weekend I was at Cochran’s Ski Area in Richmond, VT coaching the Tufts University ski team. To celebrate the end of the regular season our coaching staff decided to join in on the fun. On Saturday we competed alongside the university teams in our division in an epic dual slalom. I haven’t raced since March 2010 … Continue reading
Why being single on Valentine’s Day isn’t that bad.
I’ve been a little torn on how to feel about Valentine’s Day… Do I choose to be writhed with anger and completely resentful because I’m alone – single – with zero plans and no one to send me a dozen overpriced red roses or gourmet chocolates shipped overnight from Switzerland? So instead I spend my … Continue reading
it takes heat.
I heard this just the other day: “You cannot forge metal without heat.” Ain’t that the truth?! Think about the beautiful hand-crafted iron masterpieces that decorate museums or are centerpieces in parks, or the simple everyday things that blacksmiths have made for centuries.

2014 World Cup Soccer Calendar: Ornamental Chicks
Take a peek at photos taken by photographer, Tim Tadder, for the 2014 WORLD CUP CALENDAR. Here’s what he had to say, “If you look closely, each image has a custom lighting arrangement to highlight the best body parts as well as helping anchor them into the scene…” I’m going to venture a guess that this models … Continue reading
…and the pursuit of happiness.
I went to bed last night with a fury of emotions. They were laid to rest once I fell asleep, but I woke up at 3am, wide-eyed, and suddenly those emotions smacked me in the face reminding me that “Hey, I’m still here. Deal with it.” My breathing unbalanced, emotionally restricted, my heart thuds deeply and reverberates … Continue reading
Is Chivalry Really Dead?
I read this article just the other day… I thought maybe this would end once I graduated from college, but it doesn’t. So who’s to blame? Men and women – the both of us. Sure, men aren’t always chivalrous, but women aren’t always respectful or courteous either. Instead, we have become so engrossed in this … Continue reading
