re·birth

I've got exactly 45 days until my 45th Birthday!
(44 actually...forgot to hit "publish" yesterday!)

So... I thought hey, maybe I should restart this blog! Lots has changed in the past 5 years since I dropped Doing 40 like a hot potato!

My Birthday is exactly ONE MONTH away.....!

Happy to report that I ran the 5K at theTempe IronGirl Event on Sunday.  Great event every year!  Wonderful people - very motivating to get my self in gear to eventually do the 10mile - which I wanted to do this year, though didn't prepare.  Happy that I showed for the 5K & started the LAST MONTH OF MY THIRTIES on a great note.

If you ever have a chance to participate in any of Iron Girl's Events - 

DO IT!

Great organization - Superb Event Organization!

30 Days & Counting

hi·a·tus

I have found myself struggling a bit with life's demands all the while the clock is ticking and I am getting closer and closer to turning 40 and have  found I need to re-evaluate where I am at, where I am going & where I want to be.  Rest was much needed.  Slowing down a bit and working to accept where I am at is a work in progress.

Like most of us, I've been attempting too much all at once.  Sometimes there just are not enough minutes in the day & it's so important to make time for the things that are most important to us.  I needed to give myself a little break and allow myself the time I needed to re-group a bit.

Ways to Revive Your Spirit

• Revive Your Spirit with Daily Rituals: Every day should consist of a balance of work, play, rest and socializing with others. Our spirit needs to be regularly fed and rejuvenated both physically spiritually.
• Revive Your Spirit with Rest: Sometimes we need more than just quiet; we need to sleep! A short nap can work wonders for the chaotic inner self. A warm bath, followed by a short nap, may revive you enough to get through the rest of the day’s schedule.
• Revive Your Spirit with a Mini-Retreat: When the spirit is seriously frayed, more than a few quiet moments, or a short nap, is needed. Declare a “spiritual health” day.
