How great is this??!! Trying to inspire 1 Million people to volunteer in their communities! Talk about motivation:) Our non-profits are facing dire times right now with many of them struggling to provide basic services and outreach to populations in need of services and charity more than ever before! This is all due to our fallen economy. The non-profit organization I personally work with IS

Okay so I am officially on my 3rd day of training. No happy trails here, literally. The last two days have been cloudy, drizzly and MUDDY days. I jammed a hat ontop of my head, my cool blue, breathable running shoes and no coat (I get too hot easily) and proceeded to the washed out trails. After about 5 minutes of wet uncomforable skin and a dog-on-leash gone wild I headed back home and

TODAY was the day I began running! I had been psyching myself all week-end into getting excited for Monday so I could begin my training. As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm beginning a great new, healthy journey! Good bye chips, diet soda, fast food - becauseyourconvenient and Idon'thavetocookanhourafteran8hour workday! Well, I will try my best to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables but

Well, my aspiration to have my lightheartedly warm and funny blog up and running took a detour. Since my last blog at the beginning of Summer, I had a handful of events turn my plans upside down. But hey, isn't that what life is all about; having to adapt to change?! So what exactly happened that turned my blissful blogging plan into an absolutely blank page blog? First, my work sprung into

Frolicking in the warm glow of a late November afternoon. The heart sings to the tune of children's laughter marking a blissful and balmy Fall day, warm enough still to wear that tank top!

Well, the creation of my blog has been a long time coming. I love bloggers and there are so many wonderful blogs out there. I had thought about creating my own for some time now . . . some time meaning thinking about it for OVER a year! But here I am now and have decided to take the plunge. I will officially join the other thousands of bloggers out there and post for better or for worse.For this
