I thought a lot about what to title this post. At first I thought Preventive Mastectomy: ANXIETY would be a good title…but really it doesn’t accurately describe my emotions as I went down to Denver last week for my two-year follow-up appointment. Crazy right? Two years ago I had my… Read More »

Sunday was one of the best days of my life…yet it was filled with some of the hardest emotional and physical pain I have ever experienced. Two friends and I hiked 13.63 miles, climbing 7,400 feet of elevation, and ended at 14,114 feet above sea level. We summited Pikes Peak,… Read More »

I feel like there have been a ton of emotional and slightly angsty posts lately…though as I looked back at the past few months of posts it has really only been two. So I guess it has just been in my head that I’m feeling deeply contemplative…should I be worried?… Read More »

Growing up, I never participated in sports. When I gave birth to my first child, I thought about beginning a workout routine to lose the 35lb of baby weight. But the utter chaos of learning how to be a mom ended that crazy talk! Instead, I buckled our son up… Read More »

It’s been a few week’s of up and down around here. The news that a family friend, one of the Cowboy’s dearest friends, a hero of my children, and a legend in the horse world, unexpectedly passed away last week broke our hearts yet again. Tears are still falling, and prayers… Read More »

When have I felt #StrongEnough? Oh man, this question. The emotions it evokes and the images it places in my head are diverse. I find it interesting the answer would be vastly different if asked at different times in my life. For me, now…at this place in my life…strength has… Read More »

I am a runner (I run therefore I am a runner), and today I hit the dirt road for the first time since my last surgery. You know what? It never gets easier…never… I envy those of you that talk about how running gets easier for you, that the distances… Read More »
