m about to board my flight, but wanted to get this down before I forget that it ever happened because it kinda made my day. Actually, pretty sure it just set up my entire time in Nevada - thank god for that airport currency exchange lady or else waking up so damn early and fighting with my mother on the way to the airport might have ruined my day... SO I breeze through security and customs down to...
ve all grown up. My parents live in our childhood house, my sister is off with her boyfriend and I've been a downtown single girl for awhile now. Getting ready for the next stage in my life I know I needed to make a big sacrifice and save up as much as I can to buy a place of my own. The first step in that plan was the unthinkable - moving back home. So here I am - sitting on the same couch where I...
Since I was a little girl my parents always taught my sister and I that when you make a commitment to something you keep it. Your dedication and promise to someone or something meant more than just simple words. That is something that has stuck with me my whole life. When my athletic career began to take off there were times when I didn’t think I was strong enough to do it. Times when I was being pushed...
m not even sure if humbling is the right word to describe it, but it was one of those times where you all of a sudden see yourself and your friends in a different light. A year ago this conversation would not have gone the way it did and that's ok, but it was different yesterday for a reason. We get so caught up in the past and history and things that once seemed life ending that we forget how much...
t believe that the majority of people don't know what this expression means... If someone says I am falling down the rabbit hole please tell me that the general population would recognize that it's a very famous line from Alice in Wonderland or at least understand what it's referring to... I realize that if you didn't grow up in a Disney household (which kinda makes me sad) you may have not seen it,...
I have two questions for you... #1 - are you single? 100%? #2 - what time do you work in the morning? Boys please don't try this one....
re looking into my eyes. No matter what kind of front I'm putting up or how tough I think I am standing there...my eyes give it all away. Everytime. I think that's why I'm always always in big sunglasses...and here I thought it was just a fun fashion statement...your mind plays tricks on you sometimes...(go figure) It's funny - it's so easy to hide emotion behind that thin dark piece of plastic, putting...

I grew up hating english in school. I was the math/science girl - yes a little bit of a nerd too which I whole heartedly embraced. The writing thing was never my forte. I struggled with essays and could never express myself, not to mention my sister was the gifted writer in the family. An incredible poet, speaker, actress, singer...she is the creative one and I happily assumed the role as the athlete....
This is for Nik - I know the facial expressions I somehow come up with never cease to amaze you ...
s not a good day when you wake up in the morning and feel that sinking feeling in your stomach - a mixture of insecurity, disappointment, laziness - that weird dulling sensation that seems to take over your mood and everything you touch. It's as if it follows you around desperately clinging to your back like a scared child, bringing you down inch by inch until it overtakes you. Those are those days...
Focus on one difficult relationship where you are bringing a lot of judgement to the table. What's one piece of truth you share in common with the person being judged? Think about it - it may blow your mind...
ve never met a Sicilian before let me fill you in - we are an intense, crazy people that hold our family at the center of our universe. They are our blood. Our past, present and future. Don't mess with it if you know what...
t help me feeling like a complete disaster at work. Even though we were only going up for one night the five of us girls hadn't all been together in forever. Actually - not sure if all of us have ever done anything like this before. Needless to say, it was much needed and I couldn't wait to escape the city and have a full fledged girls trip. No boys allowed. Seriously - probably one of the best weekends...
s only 30 of us from the Pan Am group working here right now - taking up a small corner of the 3rd floor AND forgive me for trying to be friendly and interact with the other companies up here... Let me be clear...I've been friendly...as in polite chatter in the kitchen and basic conversation in the elevators...i would admit to a little casual flirting believe me BUT apparently this has compelled someone...
m sorry, but do guys really need more stupid advice on how to be honest...wait I forgot it was so difficult I can tell you the easiest way to break up with someone and I don't need 1000 words to say it. Read my lips. Don't lie. Don't let your ego get in the way. Be real. Stop trying to be the good guy (you...

ve been thinking about the people in my life and how incredibly fortunate I am to be surrounded by people who inspire me. Sometimes I think of myself as still a girl, but I'm at that age now where I can comfortably call myself a woman with a smile. I'm definitely not pretending like I've got it all figured out because I don't and I'll be the first one to tell you that... But I think of where I've come...
When you were young and your heart was an open book...you used to say live and let live... you know you did But in this ever changing world in which we live in...makes you give in and cry... say live and let die - Paul...
s house. It could be that I just watched this stupid paranormal movie and even though it wasn't that scary it still made me all jumpy OR my house is just possessed. Take your pick. Alright you may think I've gone completely crazy (which is entirely possible)...but listen to this... I'm sitting in my dining room with all the lights on working away on my laptop when the lights start flickering. I could...
