Being a Stand-Up Comedian: What It’s Really Like

Being a Stand-Up Comedian: What It’s Really Like

  Being a standup comedian might be one of the toughest jobs out there. Seriously, who wants to speak in front of a lot of people, who EXPECT (and have paid for) you to make them laugh? Many people dread standing in front of a room full of their friends and family to make a toast, let alone a bunch of strangers who are going to give you shit if you don’t meet their expectations. We want... Read More »

We REALLY Were Awesome In Middle School: BlogU 15

Last weekend I had one of those Experiences-of-a-Lifetime-You-Will-Never-Forget. That’s perfect because I don’t want to forget it. Ever. After a year’s worth of endless behind the scenes planning and four days worth of running like a mad woman lifting boxes heavier than my Jillian Michael DVD-trained muscles should ever be allowed, WE DID IT. We pulled off an amazing Blog U 2015 Conference. It was... Read More »

Why I Love to Workout | WIRL Project

Why I Love to Workout

This topic is near and dear to me. As a kid I was never an athlete. Didn’t like team sports. Couldn’t run, jump or catch. Finally in my 20’s I started working out like Jane Fonda. Aerobic classes were much more my style. I was modeling at the time and knew if I was to continue doing swimsuit work I’d better find something to keep the “bottom line” in place! As t...

K: Keeps – What It’s Really Like

This post is part of a series titled, “A-B-Cs – What It’s Really Like”. Each week a new letter and its word will be revealed. Each word’s explanation will illustrate significant personal meaning, application and ultimately demonstrate, What It’s Really Like…  I think at times we all struggle with keeping in general – keeping up, keeping touch, keeping time, keeping watch, keeping promises. L...

Remembering a Sweet Little Boy: Andrew Hunter Murray

Remembering a Sweet Little Boy: Andrew Hunter Murray

  I had the privilege of knowing Andrew Hunter Murray. He was a very special young boy and although being confined to a wheelchair and requiring constant supervision, Andrew was always a very happy child.  His eyes would light up a room, and his smile was infectious.  You could be in the worst mood, spend no more than 1 minute Andrew, and be laughing right along with him. Unfortunately, at 6 ... Read More »

I Know…

I Know…

  I am just going to be honest and put it out there, about motherhood/fatherhood… Just keeping it real!! First off, I feel like Facebook tends to not be “real” life.  I am sure If you went to my FB page right now, you would think, “her baby is so cute!
