Wish Upon a Star and Love What you Do

\ by

“It’s ok to think about what you want to do…until it’s time to start doing what you were meant to do.”

Let's do a little introspective thinking, friends!

Recognize this quote? It’s from another one of my all-time favorite cheesy sports flicks, The Rookie. In case you haven’t seen the movie (which you should), it’s based on a true story where high school baseball coach Jimmy Morrison, rediscovers his fastball at the age of 40. After being recruited by a minor league team, he contemplates whether or not to make a drastic career change to the sport he loves or continue on the current path with a stable career as a teacher that allows him to provide for his family.

When he asks his father for advice, he gives him the statement above, and these words of wisdom don’t resonate too well with ol’ Jimmy. You see, he wanted his father to say, “Go for it – chase your dream!” But, instead, his father hit him with a bit of a reality check.

This quote has been in the back of my head for quite some time, in particular when I started The Sometimes Healthy Living Blog…

A Big Announcement…

\ by

Oh hey everyone – just dropping by to share with you some news about a big decision I’ve recently made. I know I haven’t been the best at communicating lately, but I’m going to do my best to share these important milestones with you…on the off chance that you still care.

This news is sooooo big!

Slowly but surely, I’ve been making my way back to the treadmill more and more (you can even track me on DailyMile!). I’m nowhere near the rock-star marathon-woman I was in March of last year, but I’m at least headed on the path to being some sort of runner again.

So, I’ve decided to do something that I’ve never done before. To be honest, It’s something I’ve never even considered…but I think with a bit of a training, I can make it happen.

New Years Cakepops and Winter Wonderlands

\ by

Oh hello there and Happy New Year! Remember me? I’m going to pretend we spoke just yesterday so I don’t have to get into a lengthy explanation about my why I’ve been absent from the Sometimes Healthy Living blog.

Would you like a beer with your cake pop?

I’ve had men play that card on me before, and I’ve let them get away with it…so if you could just do the same, that would be great. Thanks loyal readers – you’re the best ;-)!

In other news, I had the entire week off  from work in between Christmas and New Year’s. Now you’re really pissed at me for not writing right? But then again, here I am at work today, and the rest of the world, including the postman is not. Sigh.

But I swear was extremely busy (ish) during my week off – thus completely validating my radio silence. Here’s a quick rundown, in pictures and minimal words, a clear departure from my normal novel-length posts. Continue Reading →
