I have been in sports for as long as I have memories, from the early days of kicking the dirt and chasing butterflies in the outfield to playing six volleyball matches in a day surviving on string cheese and peanut butter sandwiches. Sports are life for me. I guess to some degree I find it … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #315: National Girls and Women in Sports Day: February 3, 2021:

Dear Parents of Young Humans, Please. I beg of you, please....teach your kids to talk to adults. This is a skill that is seriously lacking in our youth today. As a teacher, coach and adult that interacts with a lot of young people because of my job and having 5 humans of my own, I … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #314: Dear Parents of Young Humans: Tuesday, February 2, 2021:

I can't tell you how excited I am about this part of my "intentional" plan. When I was sitting in retreat at St. James this January I was thinking about a lot of things, including what my word for the year was going to be. Even though I just landed on intentional last week...I was … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #313: I See You! Monday, February 1, 2021:

Anyone else have a case of the January gray? I have always felt like this month has dragged on and on and always felt a little dark, both literally and figuratively. I saw this and it made me laugh out loud. Yes. It felt like an entire year in January...at least for me! Maybe it's … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #311, #312: January Gray: Saturday, January 30, Sunday, January 31, 2021:

Saw this today and it spoke to me... This spoke to me for many reasons. First, I love the message. We are so quick in life to blame others for our problems rather than looking inward. This drives me crazy. The idea that everyone else is responsible for all that is wrong in someone's life … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #311: Lessons Learned: Friday, January 29, 2021:

I’ll apologize in advance for this post...but I really wanna know... I really wanna know how we can send a satellite into space that orbits the Earth but we cannot find a better way to take images of a women’s breasts to detect breast cancer. I really wanna know how we can create a vaccine … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #310: I Wanna Know…: Thursday, January 28, 2021:

I consider myself a pretty intentional person. I do things with great purpose and passion and always want to put my best foot forward. Occasionally this is to my detriment but we are working on that! I have struggled since the start of the new year to find my word for the year. This is … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #309: Intentional: Wednesday, January 27, 2021

Today we had the much dreaded trip to the dentist. Admittedly I hated going to the dentist as a kid, actually, I still do. It gives me anxiety. The bright light, the need for sunglasses, the hideous scraping noise that echoes in your head, the water spraying in your face and of course the fear … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #308: Sometimes You Can’t Outrun Those Genetics: Tuesday, January 26, 2021:

Wow. I had the best conversation on the way to school today with my kids. We talk about leadership every. single. morning. Leaders are hard working, kind and inspiring people. Those are the kind of humans we want to raise. So, every single day we discuss leadership. We talk about what it looks like, how … Continue reading Corona Virus Quarantine Day #307: Attitude Reflects Leadership: Monday, January 25, 2021:
