2) Mom-cations! My vote is Santa Barbara, CA for wine tasting! Then again, I am biased. I live only two hours away 😉 Read this.

3) So just where did Mother’s Day originate? The woman who started the tradition then tried to ban it!

4) I am just about to hit another 100 Charity Miles in support of Stand Up To Cancer. 92.554-miles as of this writing. Download my all-time favorite training app here. I love that every mile I walk counts towards a charity I care about. I also love that my Hoka One Challenger ATR Running Sneakers keep holding up. There are some serious miles on those shoes. The heel cushion and overall foot support is great. Women | Men

8) Wanna know a secret to happiness? Try forgiveness. “Forgiveness is a process over time that includes letting go of negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and replacing those with positive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.” Read more about the science behind forgiveness.

QUALITY IN EVERY SENSE

Thirty-six hours that will change your life. This is no overstatement. Be among the first to land at our magnetic north in a modern airship that uses innovative technology that combines the best of fixed-wing airplanes, helicopters, and static helium lift. What is old is new and even better, and more sustainable than jets or vehicles.
