Each year I choose a word for the year ahead. Ali Edwards first introduced this concept to me in 2007, and I fully embraced it. As I prepared to write this post declaring my One Little Word for 2016 I suddenly realized it's TEN YEARS of choosing a single word for the year. Wow, time flies. So why choose One Little Word for the year? As Ali says: A single word can be a powerful thing. It can be the ripple in the pond that changes everything. It can be sharp and biting or rich and soft and …

5 Tips for doing yoga while traveling
As I was living out of a hotel for five days I thought I'd share my favorite tips for doing yoga while traveling.

Meatless Monday: Air New Zealand Meatless Meals
Ok first I want to say vegan food at LAX was pretty pathetic. The terminals restaurants we ALL closed for refurbishment so there was nothing to eat other than a small coffee bar called The Pie Hole. Then did a vegetarian pie that Bob had, and I had a vegan apple crumble, water, fruit cup and potato chips. Bob had the veggie hand pie (which he said wasn't very good), apple juice and potato chips for a grand total of $21.40 Man airport food is expensive, and it wasn't that great either. The …
Happy Anniversary to us – our hot air balloon wedding :)
Fourteen years ago today - 1998, LasVegas: Bob and I up at the ass crack of dawn to get hitched.
