      <image:title>Blog - Just Believe - “For many years I dreaded the moment that the magical world of Santa Claus would come crashing down. I wanted to hold onto this little slice of magic for as long as possible, because in my mind, the fun of Christmas would diminish without full-blown believers. But as the years wore on, I found myself gradually more and more ready for my two boys to awaken to the reality of Christmas morning. As they got older and more savvy, the façade became harder to hold steady.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - If You Can’t Sing Well, SING LOUD! - “As I stood in my front hall waiting for Kelly to pick me up for our first rehearsal, I checked my bag for everything I might need- water bottle, pencil, chapstick- and I could feel myself recoiling at the uncomfortable feelings of trying something new. We were leaving a bit early because rehearsals were to take place at the local high school and we had never been inside it before. What kind of people were in a community choir anyway?”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - My Greatest Insecurities are also What I Admire in you - It’s embarrassing to think of all the years of energy that has gone into this insecurity of mine. Literally just last month I bought a black-head zapper off a random Instagram ad from a totally bogus website in the UK that had all sorts of youtube videos claiming its success. I used it once and it left my skin red, bruised and far worse looking than before. But before that, this silly little product held all my hopes and dreams! Hook, line and sinker.</image:title>

The waters will be calm again, but the storm must be waited out. The storm is there, as a new beginning, to push, to challenge, to show you who you are.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 20 Years Ago Ski Racing Broke my Heart…and my Thoughts on Lindsey Vonn - As Olympian Lindsey Vonn embarks on her comeback, one I am following closely and have admittedly questioned, I see with fresh eyes her desire for another chance. She and I are the same age, born in 1984, and we raced against each other at times. She had dreams, just the same as I did.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - My 40th Year Promise - I found myself standing on the top of the Eiffel Tower on my 40th birthday in November of 2024. As I relished the moment alone, I began reflecting on forty years of life lived and especially my decision to venture off my conventional path and onto the alternative. This completely new life path has brought me to a lot of joy and places I never imagined, but also a steady stream of persistent yet hidden, fear and uncertainty. Where was I going?</image:title>
