Have you ever had a moment when you felt like you stepped into a calendar? The Grand Canyon is 1 of the “7 Wonders of the World.” I got to see it with my family. It was long anticipated as we left the pick up spot a little before 7am, and we didn’t get to... Continue Reading →
A Time for Vacation: Day 3
One week ago I woke up excited to be in Vegas for another day! This was a day where things maybe didn’t go as planned, but we made the most of it. I stayed calm and confident as plans changed - which I normally need a plan and stick to it. My sister and I... Continue Reading →
A Time for Vacation: Day 2
If you think we packed in a lot into half a day, just wait until you hear how our second day/ first full day went! 33,852 steps and 203 minutes of exercise later we had walked over half of the strip, and back along with heading out on the tram for our dinner and Cirque... Continue Reading →
A Time for Vacation: Day 1
The week before last I was eagerly awaiting my vacation. My family and I went to Las Vegas a week ago. We all met up at the Paris Hotel, and we had a really great time! Last week as I anticipated leaving, it was challenging for me to keep busy enough to not want to... Continue Reading →
A Time to See Beauty in the Ordinary
I am not a photographer. I have learned to look out for things, mostly in nature, that would be a cool photo for a blog post. These orange flowers were outside the building of the dance studio I work at. They were so beautiful, I had to stop and take a picture! If I did... Continue Reading →

A Time to go ‘Running Up That Hill’
Even though the song ‘Running Up That Hill’ by Kate Bush is popular from the show ‘Stranger Things,’ the characters really bike more than they run. I was trying to decide if I should walk, run or bike this morning, but when I saw that it was almost 90 degrees and going to storm this... Continue Reading →
A Time to See the Bigger Picture
A few weeks ago I went to visit my sister. We went to the Mall of America so that I could buy new clothes for starting my new job. As we were walking I saw some butterfly display. My sister hates butterflies, but I wanted to get closer. She kindly let me get close long... Continue Reading →
A Time to Use What You Have (or go to Target)
When was the last time you went to Target? Mine was about 3 hours ago. I went in to return some lightbulbs that were my third try to find the right bulb for my touch lamp. I was not going to buy anything - well at least not much. I had been reading a chapter... Continue Reading →
A Time for Consistency
What a whirlwind the last month has been! I just a month ago put in my two weeks at Starbucks, and have now completed two weeks of training at OST! Summer dance classes got off to a great start this week. Lifest is only two weeks away. Our Loeck Family VayCay 2.0 is only 6... Continue Reading →
