In some space beyond my fingertips is an ending as my arms circle and hips roll and the world comes in and out of sunrise focus there is another wall that I haven't found a stopping point I will only know when I reach inside of it when I squeeze one last pull through liquid … Continue reading Limitless

Learning to Love Again…#wwwblogs
That title is a "gotcha." If you're here for romance, run for it! 🙂 I have spent the last almost 6 years learning to love my body again. I grew up with all of the same pressures as every young woman in North America: the focus on appearance over substance, the messages that told us … Continue reading Learning to Love Again…#wwwblogs
Life is Simple…
If I were my dad, that sentence would end with the words "people screw it up." Although I state it the same way a great deal of the time, I'm enjoying some simplicity. A busy work week, rising daily to run at 5:00 a.m., taking the family ice skating today since it's still spring break. … Continue reading Life is Simple…
Superfoods! (They need fancy capes.)
Superfoods. What do they do? What are they? Can they imbue us with superhero-like powers?! Okay, maybe not that last one. 😉 According to Wikipedia (because "superfood" doesn't appear in the dictionary, surprise) "...superfood is a marketing term used to describe foods with supposed health benefits." This term is sort of a "fluff" term. Scientists … Continue reading Superfoods! (They need fancy capes.)
Tuesday Thoughts on Fitness…
I know, I know: yesterday I was whining about head colds and the "New Normal." Today, I hiked up the mountain to the cross with my furry sidekick (she's even lost a little weight, although you can't tell in her "ugly" Christmas sweater). The pace was a little slower than usual, and I had to … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts on Fitness…
Carrying My Dog Through My Cancer…#MondayBlogs #ArchiveDay
We all know that pets can have a very therapeutic effect on their owners. There have been countless articles written on the subject, and many stories shared about how pets support the health of their owners. But, what about the health of our pets? How does our health affect our furry family members? This is … Continue reading Carrying My Dog Through My Cancer…#MondayBlogs #ArchiveDay
Tuesday Thoughts…Planning
Yesterday, on my daughter's birthday, she and I took turns on the treadmill. I ran my 5 miles (which is kind of my standard distance), and she ran 2 1/4 miles (yes, she wanted to be sure I included that 1/4 mile and didn't say "over" 2 miles). While she ran, I added a new … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…Planning
Thankful for Patience
No, I'm not. Not really. You'd think I would be more accustomed to waiting by this point in time, but I'm not. Today, I uploaded the sequel to my novel, Blessings. Now, I have to wait for Amazon's review process to complete. It can take up to 24 hours. Really, that's practically no time. I've … Continue reading Thankful for Patience
Publishing, Health, and Updates…
Since I set that "publish on the 1st of the month" schedule for myself, I've been working almost constantly. 🙂 I didn't go through Lulu Publishing this time, but instead uploaded my format and covers onto Amazon through Createspace. Today, my new book, The Cancer-Free Gourmet, went live on Kindle! http://www.amazon.com/The-Cancer-Free-Gourmet-Caroline-Slee-ebook/dp/B00IQY04NU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393817842&sr=8-2&keywords=the+cancer-free+gourmet I hope those of … Continue reading Publishing, Health, and Updates…
Tuesday Thoughts on Fitness…
I have a captive audience this week, since my children aren't going to school. Yesterday, they did those stadium stairs with me. Today, Moses ran errands with me - on foot. We still have to hit the pool for a good long swim this week, and take our mountain hike. Plus a crossfit stadium stair … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts on Fitness…
