A couple of days ago, I decided it was time for a summer tune up.

I sit in front of a computer for my job and even though I try to get up and move around every couple of hours, I know it’s not a healthy routine.  I constantly struggle with my weight and also with making sure that I am exercising enough.  So last week, knowing that I am capable of doing much more, I decided it was time to change things up a bit in order to feel healthier.

Instead of doing my regular after work routine … Read More

This past weekend I was determined to slow down and take myself out of being in a state of constant hurry. There is a time when quiet is needed.

Loosing myself in my book… Read More

My weekends always seem to fly by and just when I’m feeling as though I have totally brought myself down from the workweek, it’s time to begin a new one. It’s okay though; I selfishly wring every minute of down time out of the weekend that I can.  Even if I am grocery shopping or running other errands, I try to enjoy the outdoors and reduce the pressure to get everything done in record time! I try to unplug myself, even… Read More

DC — A Beautiful City

This is how the weather works in Washington, DC:  a few days ago I was bundled up in a winter coat and wishing the sharp, chilly wind would die down.  Today, I am walking around the city without a coat and feeling so warm I wish I had shorts and flip flops on. The temperatures in the nation’s capital may turn on a dime but it doesn’t affect the beauty of the city. And now that it is warmer, I’m taking full advantage of all it’s splendor.Spring in Washington, DC is when you can see the city at its best. … Read More
