Reclaiming Me: The reality check edition

February 7, 2011

To say that it was a long week would be an understatement. This is quite possibly the busiest time of the year for me….and somehow last week, my third week on P90x….my bodied seemed to go on strike.  I went from feeling strong one day to barely getting the same reps as I did on [...]

Reclaiming Me: The knowing edition

January 30, 2011

Once in a while, it hits you. The overwhelming feeling of knowing. Knowing that you are purposeful, motivated, and actually able. This was one of those weeks for me. For some reason, things came together. Maybe it was the three snow days that left me home with Principessa. Maybe it was the creation of a [...]

My Baby: A reminder of hope

December 31, 2010

2010-12-31 While unpacking yet another box, I came across an anthology of essays that was created during a writing class that I took in 2003. I decided that my piece, written about my past, but from the perspective of my dad, was appropriate for where I am at this very moment in my life. It [...]

My Year in Review

December 30, 2010

2010-12-28 It is crazy to me that 2010 is about to come to an end.  I have been so frenzied, so frantic, that I feel like most of the year went by without my even being fully “present.”  Kind of sad actually.  But then I realize, HELLO??? I was present. I lived a life this [...]

October 10, 2010

2010-10-10 One year and three days ago I took a chance.  I took a giant leap actually, that anyone in their right mind (other than my parents and Rocket) would want to read about me.  But I did it, I started C.Mom. At the time, I was Cara Mamma….but in the last 12 months, I [...]
