In the last six months I have become addicted to running. Yes, I have become a runner, believe it or not! I live for it, I love it, and I love what it does for me. I also LOVE cooking and baking, trying new recipes for my family, and making things for Casey that he loves like blackberry cobbler, chocholate souffles, and homemade pasta! I also love all different types of music, watching a great movie, spending time with my friends over a cup of coffee, reading and/or watching anything I can to be educated about what is going on in the world, yoga, hiking, belly dancing, buying new clothes, and spending time with the people that I love.

So You Think You Can Dance is amazing. Every time I watch it, I am inspired to learn to dance! Grey's Anatomy is still a favorite, as well as Private Practice, The Unit, CSI Miami, the new show Life, and anything on the History Channel.
Right now I am reading "Loving What Is". It is helping me dwell on what is reality in my life, and not on what I wish it was or had hoped for, but to live each day loving what I have in my life.
My hero is my mom, who is learning right along with me to be honest and sincere, and to be real with what is going on in her life and heart. That is what I admire in others because it is what I have struggled with my whole life. I admire her honesty with me about her past love, her hurts, dreams, and hopes. In turn, I am able to open up and share with her, and we are finally beginning to connect on an intimate level. I am grateful!
