One of my clients just brought me a treat from a bakery... I put it in the fridge, and have spent the last 10 minutes staring at it. The one good thing about treats like that? They are too pretty to eat. Therefore I can just wait until my husband comes home, have a lick, and give the rest to him!
Husbands are so useful.

Day 341 - WOW 7K
Day 341. I've been stranded on this island for almost a year.
It has not been an easy journey, but it has been worth every tear, every drop of sweat, it has been worth it, and I proved that to myself this past Saturday.
On Saturday, June 1, 2013, I ran a 7k race for women's cancer. 295 people, and I was within the top 20. I ran the entire distance without stopping, and all with an injured knee. As I came around the last corner of the race, my husband stood there with a bright smile, cheering me on as I crossed the finish line. I wasn't listening to him, I wasn't listening to any of the cheers. All I was listening to was myself as I was saying over and over, "you can do this."
It was long - I never stopped
It was hot - I kept going
It was hard, but I am strong.
To all the people of the world who don't believe they have the strength or willpower to change their lives - yes, you do.
To all the women we ran for, all the women with this life altering disease - you are some of the strongest women I know. Never forget, you are strong.
With all my prayers and admiration.
