The Beginning

Lately I’ve seen a quote floating around the internet:

“A year from now you will wish you had started today.”

This is attributed to Karen Lamb, an illustrator and animator.

It struck a chord in me. A year ago I wanted to start and maintain this blog. But I let it fall to the wayside. I was busy with grad school, busy training for marathons and triathlons, busy teaching and tutoring.

I wish I had started a year ago. I didn’t because other things were in the way. But things will always be in the way. I’m going to start now so that next year I don’t have the same wish I have now. Starting is often the most difficult part of any endeavor. Well, here it is.

I’m a runner, triathlete, teacher, writer, reader, vegan, cook. I hope to fill these pages with good reading, creative advice, inspiring stories, maybe some recipes, and a chronicle of my own journey from passive to active. Welcome!
