It’s February and I haven’t fallen off the goal wagon yet! I am trying not to let my busyness crowd out my love for reading and I have set a goal to read one book a month throughout 2014. With a full time job, a jammed training schedule and some semblance of a social life,… Read More…
It’s Valentine’s Day and I Love Food (Blue Mountain Review)
A couple weekends ago, I packed up the Prius and headed to Blue Mountain for a winter adventure. I have spent many wintery afternoon on the hills, but it was a treat to be able to stay at a lodge by the base of the hill. I stayed in a suite in Weider Lodge, which opens… Read More…

Attention to Detail and Maple Short Bread
Let’s talk personality types for a moment. I am the type of person that likes to get things DONE – almost to a fault. I don’t like strategy, I don’t like precision, I like blasting through brick walls because I get there (wherever there is) faster! Which is better, .. right? Almost every job interview… Read More…
