We are almost halfway through October, I know I know I’m sorry for reminding you, and I must say that this month has been quite an exciting one so far! Two Saturdays ago I participated in the Del Mar Mud Run, a 5k featuring off-road obstacle courses, and pics are in! There were mud cannons, […]
Some days, it feels like everything is in sync. You wake up on the right side of the bed, there’s no traffic on the way to work, your morning coffee tastes extra delicious, and it feels like, well, a Friday. Some days are more challenging. Some days it seems like nothing is going right, like […]
It is officially the last day of September, and thus the end of Self-Care September! Wow, this month has flown by in a heartbeat! There really needs to be more days in the week…my vote is that we insert one in-between Saturday and Sunday, and we shall call it Saunday. Done. Sorry for the ridiculousness, […]

Week 1 of Self-Care September went beautifully! I have taken a variety of classes so far, including a heated power yoga class. Brave- I know. Each class has taught me something new; whether it be about my body (limitations and breakthroughs), or about my personal yoga preferences and what I am looking for in a […]
Focus. Breathe. Tighten. Relax. Clear your mind. Tune in to your body. Drop your shoulders. Don’t forget to breathe, again. I hear a seagull outside. Focus, Sarah. Okay. Don’t drop your belly. Open up your hips. You’re not breathing, again. That person next to me is really getting into that open-mouthed exhale… One more breath […]
Hello everyone! I hope that you all had an absolutely fabulous holiday weekend. I know that I did! It is rare for me to get two days off in a row, and I took full advantage of them! I went to the beach, rode bikes along the boardwalk, miraculously avoided a sunburn, cuddled with the […]
