Coffee for the Brain
That accident shook me to my core. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, please take a moment to read my previous post. You have to listen carefully to understand. No skimming. I tell you this because I’m guilty of skimming. I like to get my information from my source as quickly as…

A Come to Jesus Moment or What Have You
Choice #1 Two nights ago, after a minor “discussion” with my husband. We decided it would be in our best interest, if we went to get some food…meaning fast food. Choice #2 We saw Lexi and Lauryn (our two oldest) on the way out. Lexi had picked Lauryn up from work. Lauryn works at Wendy’s.…

Depression: The Big “D” Word
Let’s make that a double. This is Desiree on Depression. I have talked about this sort of thing before, but not at this level. You can say “I’m leveling up.” -The Blue Shirt Guy, Free Guy. I have been in a dark place mentally, which came with having my two little additions. They are 11…

My Faith Crisis and How the Universe Stepped In

At pre-race check-in, the race director did a short slide show and showed us the unassuming dune. I thought, “I totally got this. I’ve ran 50k on the beach.

A Partial Tale of Two Valleys: Part 1
The title of this post reflects the small town I moved from and the small town I moved to. They both were located in the valley. With the exception of starting my life in Huntington Beach, CA, and one year in Carson City, NV, by three years of age, my parents decided they didn’t want…

But Are You Happy?
April 5, 2008 The weather was perfect. No stomach issues. No cramping. There was nothing but blue skies and a tail wind. Could it get any better than this? The adrenaline that coursed through my veins was unlike anything I had yet experienced. Me and the Universe were vibin’ on all the cylinders. I had…

The Choices We Make
We make choices everyday, some are more complex than others. Press snooze or get up? Eggs or a smoothie? Marry him or wait for the right one? 2 kids or more? I can’t change the past, but I can choose to live better. August 4, 2019 The obstetrician stopped me mid push when he noticed…
