Hello

Loving this happy-go lucky song right now.

Had a great time dancing to it a couple of weekends ago, and it's still in my head!

The video is kind of weird....but the song makes me happy :)

Be Happy You Are HEALTHY

Be happy you are healthy

Do not take your health for granted

If you are healthy, your life is good. 

If your life seems a mess, remember how incredibly lucky you are for your health,

And feel blessed.

A Loyal Friend

Love my Juno :)

A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?

Loving this song! And, they will be performing at Basilica :) SCORE!

Never Assume

So, this morning I decided to work out at the gym. I have not been to the gym in ages (I've been busy enjoying running outside, way more entertaining than the gym). Anyways, my gym workout allowed me to watch Ellen. It was a re-run, but I still found some inspiration.

Whether you can't stand her, love her, or don't know who she is--Ellen's guest Bethenny Frankel gave some fabulous advice, that really hit home for me.

I believe I am very blessed. I have a wonderful family, amazing friends and an incredibly supportive boyfriend. They only part of my life that I feel discouraged, upset, and even sometimes embarrassed about is my professional life.

I am absolutely determined to be a teacher, unfortunately the job market has stalled this dream of mine.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. It's at the end of the video, so if you aren't interested in online dating advice, or love advice skip ahead.

Bethenny gives great advice in saying, "Don't ever assume anyone is better than you."

I think in my post undergrad life I have lost some confidence and as a result, I have started to assume just that.

It's time to stop.

Remember your strengths
Stay focused on your goals
Never ASSUME someone is better than YOU
Never ASSUME someone is smarter than YOU
Never ASSUME someone's life is more glamourous than yours
Remember who YOU are. Remember what YOU believe is important in life.
Remember that everyone's journey is different.
NEVER, EVER let anyone make you forget who you are and what you are capable of doing.



Ok...wow. Maybe I am a little TOO inspired by this 10 second clip of advice :)

Embrace Change, Enjoy the Journey

Heat Wave

It is HOT out today. Every time it is super hot out in the summer, this song starts playing in my head. Classic.

You've Got the Love

LOVING this song.

Happy Summer!!

I have been on a bit of a blogging hiatus! Sorry! Summer is in full swing, and it is BUSY! I feel like it's flying by...and it's been summer for about a week...


This may be my last Minnesota summer for a while ( that is SO hard for me to say!)

I really want to make it a great one, and enjoy all things Minnesota. So far I have been 'Up North' ( possibly my favorite part of summer and a Minnesota summer staple).

Today, I ran the Minneapolis 1/2 marathon ( you really get to experience the beauty of a city when you are running around it for 2 hours).


So here's to a Minnesota summer, that I hope will be full of both friends and places I cherish :)

Favorite part of the race had to be running across the Stone Arch Bridge, and feeling the mist from St.Anthony Falls!

Next MN activity...Twins Game this weekend!!
