I love Tough Mudders. You know what I mean — the courses where you take on obstacles like the Human Hamster Wheel and the Dead Ringer and Electroshock Therapy 2.0. And you get muddy — really, really muddy. And then there’s the Spartan Race with obstacles like the Rope Climb and the Tire Drag and the Traverse Wall. You get muddy doing …
I was interviewed on the radio last Friday. That’s always fun, even though a radio intervew is a bit of verbal Russian Roulette. I never know if the host is going to a) ask questions from my press release or b) wing it and toss me brand new — think unprepped for — questions. During this interview, the host mentioned that …
So let’s just have a little fun today. I found this quote and made the graphic to go along with it. And then I was writing a post about age … and how we celebrate our age early on in life and then we deny how old we are later on in life. And then I deleted all of that. …
Some days are tougher than others. Some days are disappointng. Some days seem unending. Some days are heart-wrenching. And yet … is it possible to somehow, someway, discover good in those tough, disappointing, unending, heart-wrenching days? If we choose to look for the best — yes.

We’re gearing up for volleyball season in the Vogt household — and the season lasts a long, long time. There’s the school volleyball season, which runs right into the club volleyball season … and that ends about the same time as the school year ends. Yeah. And then this summer? You got it. More volleyball. I’ve learned so much watching my …

In my life, Julie Andrew’s truth of “Unfortunately something always has to go by the wayside” translates into “You can’t do it all.” I’ve watched other people juggle multiple major tasks — and I used to …
Y’all know I’ve switched sides several times on the glass half empty vs. glass half full debate. I’ve gone from seeing the glass half empty to seeing the glass half full. Then I embraced a friend’s comment: There’s always something in the glass. Loved that perspective. Still do. But today I’m believing the truth that the glass is always refillable. …
It’s almost impossible to get through the day without being told at least one way to take care of yourself. Eat more fruits and veggies. Drink more water. Exercise more. Sleep more. Work smarter. Be kinder. Watch less TV. You could probably make your own list of ways you are taking care of yourself — or ways you want to …
When my husband and I were first married, we had very different views when it came to money. If the bills are paid — and they always were — and there was no money left in the bank, as far as Rob was concerned, we were fine. Nowadays, there’s always money left in the bank. When we were first married … well, that …
Childhood memories … let’s sift through the good ones today, shall we? I know for some, the pile of happy memories is small. But we all have a childhood memory or two that we cherish. A day at the beach. An evening around the campfire, savoring S’mores. Wandering the bookshelves in the library and adding yet another book to the …
