So I’ve been going a bit crazy on the game Draw Something over the past few days. I’ve been enjoying going back and forth with my siblings, my cousins, and my fiancé. My drawings weren’t the best at first–my cousin Adam still teases me about my rendition of an Ewok, but they’ve gotten better (or […]
There was a little bit of noise at my hotel during the daytime this past Friday. I was still able to catch up on some sleep that I missed during my red eye flight out to Greenville, South Carolina. As I took the elevator down to head over to the site where I was going […]
It’s Friday! I’m sitting in my hotel room in Greenville, South Carolina after keynoting the opening session of the South Carolina Association of Student Councils Convention–super fun! I hope you all have plans for a fun St. Patrick’s day weekend (yes, I will be wearing green for my workshops tomorrow and flight back to San […]
I’m taking a red eye flight tonight–San Diego to Washington Dulles. I’ll have a quick layover in the morning before the connecting flight to my next speaking engagement. Like most people on a red eye, I’m worries most about sleep: 1) Will I be able to fall asleep? and 2) Is there any chance the […]

Just after lunch, the conference planners invited me and the other speaker up on stage to respond to some questions. They placed a few numbers on the jumbotron and encouraged the students to text questions up us. We […]
Hey there! It’s another Friday, and I’m pretty excited–I hope you are as well. I’m sitting in the airport awaiting a trip to San Diego to see my fiancé. I hear the weather is going to be great there this weekend, so I’m looking forward to some hiking and Sunday brunch with friends. I do […]
My fiancé bought me a knife skills class for Valentine’s Day. I really do like to cook, and do most of it when I’m not on the road speaking. In other words, the gift was perfect. I wasn’t a complete novice. I’ve picked up a few tips over the years from my mom, from friends, […]
So it’s Friday again. I’m taking a quick break at the CADA Convention to post this Friday Finish blog. If you’re curious how I’m doing with my 40 day challenge–the food part is actually the easiest (other than avoiding the sweets and treats here at the convention and the hotel). I’ve been 100% Paleo for […]
