Sometimes you come across the right post just at the right time for how you feel. That happened last nt. This one! I shared that I went to go watch my old school – Cornell, play hockey against BU at Madison Square Garden, in Stories. A tradition now: little nostalgia during a time when we’re …
I read this Turkish proverb my friend posted the other day. I told her I was going to use it in some way bc it struck me…but I wasn’t sure how I’d use it. Here’s how the original proverb read (perhaps it’s familiar to some of you): “The forest was shrinking, but the Trees kept …
When we get on the treadmill for the first time in forever, do we expect to churn out a few 7 minute miles with ease? No way! And when we get back to running, or elliptical or bike or stairmaster, even if we are competitive & push ourselves, we KNOW, it’s gonna be ugly …
