Due to an injury, I had to take a week off of yoga. If you know me, you know how difficult this was for me. But I was good … and I did it. Today was to be my first day back. As is my routine, I woke up and went for a quick run. […]

Acupuncture and Me
August 2nd, 2015 
LeeAnn Over the past several years, I have experimented with more holistic approaches to my health concerns from complex regional pain syndrome treatments to regular visits with nutritionists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. The one that I purposely avoided? Acupuncture. When I was in college, my roommate had an aunt (in-law, I believe) who was … out […]
It’s Time
May 11th, 2015 LeeAnn Those of you who know me, know the changes that I have initiated in my life during the past several years. This blog was an incredible voice for me during that process. Through intense self inquiry, much of it documented on this blog, I realized that I was not happy. And I was tired of […]
My Summer Vacation
July 31st, 2012 LeeAnn You may have noticed that I have not posted much lately. I do have an excuse. This summer has been crazy busy. Lets start with the crazy part. I basically spent a month in a self-induced self-analytical coma. I never thought that one could go over the deep-end on the self-improvement front. Trust me, you can – […]
How Did I Not Know?
June 18th, 2012 LeeAnn About a week and a half ago, we brought home the newest members of our family – two little Maine Coon brothers. I named the orange/red kitten Baron after Snoopy’s Red Baron.

Do you feel a shortness of breath and an acceleration of adrenalin when you hear someone else mention its name? When you lie awake in bed at night, trying to go to sleep, do you […]
Goodbye My Sweet Oprah
May 8th, 2012 LeeAnn Last night we lost our beloved Oprah, our fourteen year old cat. Oprah has been included in this blog several times, including in A Very Timely Ode to Oprah. Oprah was with me longer than any animal in my lifetime; she will always be one of my special favorites. She had an amazing sense of humor; […]
A Weekend of Wild Animals
April 22nd, 2012 LeeAnn I thought this was going to be a quiet and uneventful weekend. Life has been crazy lately and my husband and I were looking forward to having two days of unscheduled time. As it started, the weekend went according to plans. Friday night was a quiet night in with a healthy dinner and a glass of […]
Follow your Heart
March 2nd, 2012 LeeAnn This has been an exhausting week for me. It started out with my father having surgery. Seeing someone whom I love so much and who has been such a strong presence in my life vulnerable and impaired is hard for me. It makes me think about a lot of things – and makes it a […]
Wynonna is Crying
January 26th, 2012 LeeAnn Eighteen years ago, my niece Samantha Kay was born. I was twenty-six and I had probably spent less than a total of five hours around babies. I never baby-sat. I was always too busy playing sports. And then on January 26, 1994, my life forever changed. I was Sam’s first baby-sitter. Thanks to me, her […]
