Marathon training is on my mind again…Well, half-marathon. The TCS New York City Marathon, in November, planted the seed. Actually, running a half marathon by the end of the year was on my list of goals for 2024. But life happens and time gets away. So here I am, STARTING…
Home truly is where the heart is!!! I’ve been in Fort Lauderdale since March. I’m excited to share that I am no longer a San Francisco-based flight attendant. Being based in Fort Lauderdale means I’m no longer commuting. This is the best news I’ve received since being offered the job…
Sydney was the destination for Tim’s birthday this year. Since 2022, when Tim turned 50, we decided we should go away for his birthday every year. I’m grateful that we’ve been able to continue this. This year, however, it was a bit unconventional because there wasn’t the typical planning for…
Goals…Of course it wouldn’t be January 1st without a “New Year, New Me” type of post. This is one is a bit different, though. It’s self-serving. Despite that, I’m hoping you’ll find some motivation in it. I’m using this more as a journal entry. I’d like to be able to…
Commuting is for the birds! You’ll find a version of this sentiment in every flight attendant forum. Commuting is another job in itself, especially being on reserve AND probation. Commuting means you live in one city and are based in another. So you’d have to get to that other city…
Comfort Zone…I don’t know her (anymore). I lived in my comfort zone…It was my home! I was in a vicious cycle. I’d come up with a great idea, create a plan, start. But once the slightest inconvenience arose, I’d quit. Of course, I’d make up some pretty credible excuses as…
Tim’s birthday was earlier this month. Since his 50th last year, I decided we should go away each birthday. This year, we chose Dominica. Not the Dominican Republic, but just as beautiful of an island. New Years Day But, before we get into a review of Dominica, let’s start at…
Quitters Day sounds like something that we should not be celebrating, but there are some things we should consider quitting. Admittedly, I had never heard of this Quitters Day prior to this year. When I came across it, the phrase piqued my interest. After a quick Google search, I learned…
Resolutions or not? It’s the beginning of the year. You know, that time when the calendar tells us to proclaim, “New Year. New Me!” *insert eyeroll* It’s very easy to fall into the trap of a New Year’s resolution. After all, it IS a new year. There’s no shortage of…
Back again? Yes, it’s me! If you’ve followed me at all during the last 10 or so years, you’ll know that I’ve tried my hand at blogging on several occasions during that time. Each of those times, the blog varied a bit. It focused on one specific topic that I…
