Fridays Featured FemaleS – The Dirrty Dozen Ragnar Team
Welcome to Friday’s Featured FemaleS!
This week’s feature doesn’t just highlight one woman but it highlights a #DirrtyDozen of them. Today I want to give a huge shout out the members of my So Cal Ragnar Team (technically, I’m not highlighting myself but 11 sounded ridiculous).
Get to know these 11 amazing women that will be covering 200 miles with me (from Huntington Beach to San Diego). Not all of these ladies are bloggers (and many aren’t even active in social media) but they are all amazing women and athletes. The list below is in runner order with their leg mileages and terrain difficulty noted: […]
A Ragnar Relay Playlist
It’s almost time for the So Cal Ragnar Relay race!
12 Friends, 2 Vans, 2 Days, 1 Night 200 miles (from Huntington Beach to San Diego)!
This is my first relay. Even though I’m covering the least amount of mileage (10 miles in total), it’s longer than I’ve run in a very long time and I’m excited and nervous about it. I definitely haven’t trained like I planned and I have friends in town for the entire week leading up to race day (I’m actually cutting out on them early to meet my van) but with a motto like this one, how could you NOT be excited?

Tunes For Tuesday – The Housemartins
Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!

Today’s pick is “Happy Hour” by The Housemartins to celebrate a bunch of great things – Jay’s birthday (which was yesterday) , the arrival of great friends (who are in town for the week) and my upcoming So Cal Ragnar Relay this coming weekend.
The Housemartins had a #1 single with their fantastic acapella version of the song, “Caravan of Love” and wound up later spawning two major careers – Norman Cook (aka FatBoy Slim) and Sean Welch (of The Beautiful South […]
This Marks The End….
…of my blog.
No, just kidding.
It’s the end of March which marks the end of the first quarter of 2014. Can you believe it?
Forgive the premature April Fool’s Joke.
In all seriousness though, today is the end date for you to link-up to the #14in2014 Goals/Resolutions/Intentions 1st Quarter Check In

and it’s my wonderful husband’s birthday.
Friday's Featured Female – AJ @ Confessions Of A Fat Girl
Welcome to Friday’s Featured Female!
This weekly series features inspirational stories from admirable women. IMHO, it’s always good to be reminded of how strength, determination, hard work, heart and ingenuity can impact the quality of one’s life and I’m proud that these women will allow me to share their stories here.
Today I have the extreme pleasure of featuring Amanda Joy (AJ) Feuerman@ConfessionsOfAFatGirl on the blog today. Even though I met AJ (for like a minute) not long after I moved to LA, it was only via social media that I got the chance to learn of this woman’s quick wit, dedication to music and overall love of pop culture. AJ also shares a bit of my bicoastal affinity (as you’ll soon find out).
AJ is a master with words (both written and spoken as I learned when we roomed together at the Women Get Social conference) and her ability to communicate, educate and make you laugh at the same time is something that is rare in a person who also has a great heart. I’ve really come to look forward to any and every interaction I can have with this woman and so will you!
Sooooo, have you met AJ? […]

Last year, I made the commitment to yearly goals and I followed up on them every 3 months. I did the same thing this year and invited anyone who wanted to do it again with me in 2014 to join in on the effort. Today is the first check-in of the year. How’s it going for all of you? Here’s the progress that I’ve made […]
