I just completed my third weekend of yoga teacher training and I am more flexible, more knowledgeable and beyond exhausted. I have always appreciated my body, whether it was hand eye coordination in lacrosse or endurance during my half marathons. Over these past few weekends I have been pushing my body to find its new "edge" in …

Getting My Sweat On
...in the living room. Yes, sometimes time for the gym is not a luxury I have, and other times, I am just tired of working out on the same old machines. So, that is when I grab my trusty yoga mat, some tunes, and my Pinterest board to do some home workouts. I usually like to …
Where have I been
Let's just say that when you are blogging all day for someone else, coming home to write your own blog takes a back seat. For the past few weeks I have been settling into my internship at a tech startup (www.tipranks.com) writing daily posts about news in the finance world and coming up with clever …
Orientation By The Sea
Today was really the start of it all. While Dave is busy learning how to be a doctor I wanted to make sure I wasn't struggling on my own to find a job, so I signed up for an Israel sponsored internship program, Israel Way. The program provides hebrew classes, cultural experiences and 5 months …
Getting Ready
All I have to say is that after we move in to our new apartment tomorrow I am SO ready to be done moving! Moving out of our San Francisco home was no easy feat and it was physically and emotionally exhausting. How do you say goodbye to that menu you saved from a birthday …

Little Obsessions
Most of my days are fairly routine in the sense that I go to work all day (normally with some sort of break in the middle, if I'm lucky), then I take myself over to the gym and either spin or do a body weight workout, and then come home and make dinner, followed by …
I’m Back
Dear Blogging World, I apologize for my absence. It was not on purpose, nor were there any feelings of malice behind my leave, life just got in the way. That is not a good excuse as you are part of my daily living, but please forgive me for straying for so long. Ok, ok. Yes, …
A weekend of learning
I haven't been in a classroom setting in almost four years. And while I aim to find myself back in higher education some day, right now I continue to learn outside these formal confines. This has been a year of self-exploration and finding strength and knowledge within myself. This weekend was yet another example of …
Taking Advantage
Living in the Bay Area is something special. I have said it a lot: Here and Here and Here. But where can you enjoy the whirring liveliness of the city and then drive less than an hour and be surrounded by the serene beauty of nature. With some out-of-towners in toe, we spent the day …
