    Mindful Monday

    Mindful Monday This will be a short, but important post. At least I think it’s important. Last week I went through one of the hardest weeks of my life. I endured emotions like you wouldn’t believe. What started out as the worst week ever for me ended on a fairly positive note. So what did I do to turn things around? I took control of my mind and body. I lived in the moment, moment by moment and did the things that I knew would help me keep moving. I kept moving. I didn’t let circumstances hold me down. I took…

    Half Marathon Training Week 1

    January 16, 2015 - By 

    The time has come for me to start my training for my very first half marathon. I will be running in the Covenant Health Knoxville Half Marathon March 29th. I’m terrified and pumped up all at the same time. I’ve never considered myself to be a runner. I don’t even really enjoy running if we are being honest about it.

    James Island County Holiday Festival of Lights

    December 2, 2014 - By 

    Thanksgiving 2014 my family got to spend the evening driving through the James Island County Park Holiday Festival of Lights. This corporate sponsored event featured over 750 displays and 2 million lights. This year is the 25th anniversary for the festival. We have never seen a light show so spectacular! When I talked my husband into leaving our warm beach condo to go see Christmas lights I don’t think either of us really knew the treat we were in for. We paid our $15 admission to get in (the admission is $15 per car with up to 15 guests, 16-30…
