hey I spent part of Sunday evening at the Olympic Training Center watching the awards ceremony for the NORCECA Men’s Continental Championship, where the U.S.A. Men’s Volleyball took the gold medal. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the upper part of the gymnasium wall decorated with quotes. QUOTES. While we waited for the ceremony to start, I alternated between taking …
I’m not the best when it comes to flying kites. The whole process of running and releasing a kite up into the air behind me? It’s just a bit beyond me. I want to look ahead of me and make certain I don’t run into something, or that I don’t trip and fall. At the same time, I want to look …

Or maybe now is all about professional success. Achieving your dream job. Or a promotion. Or recognition of some sort that says “You’ve done it” — whatever laudatory …
“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” ~John Heywood, English writer So many days ahead in 2012 … so many plans. We distill our “want tos” down to resolutions. Or a word. Our dos and don’ts for the next 12 months. And yet, for all the planning, we can only see so far along the road stretching before us. …
“The test of people is what they can do when they’re tired.” ~Winston Churchill, British politician & statesman I was a runner-girl for a certain season of my life.
