Today I’d like to return back to the post It’s Not Over Yet and continue the conversation in a slightly different way. That post, which is about recognizing that we may feel like we need to be successful online rightthisverymoment, hit home for many people. So now I’d like to propose a new way of [...]

Over the weekend Mr. Lively and I somehow completely missed that it was daylight savings time. Which made for a bit of a confusing morning for me as I switched between my phone clock and digital clock. What appeared to be a 45 minute nap turned out to be 1:45 long. Anyways, the time change [...]

Lately I’ve been sensing in myself and others, especially online, that there is a feeling of urgency to be successful. Now more than ever it is awe inspiring to see the shooting stars of the internet world have great success in what they do. It’s amazing to see the big corporations start to reward these [...]

Fact #1: I have run two marathons. Fact #2: I have trained for five marathons. Why the huge difference in completed marathons versus training attempts?

Guys, I’m feeling kinda feisty. I’m gonna let it all out and hope that it comes out making sense, ok? As you know, the idea of authenticity, flaws, and blogging have been swirling around the interwebs and here on MML lately. Something’s in the air and it feels like the honest breeze is a welcome [...]

On the coat tails of my post about my abs, I think there’s something I’d like to discuss a bit more. The idea of being authentic online. There were many people who mentioned on that post that they enjoyed my authenticity here on MML. And I appreciate that so much. Those who may not have [...]

First of all, I wasn’t sure about just what to say about this Valentine’s Day. Like many, I’ve had extremely good and bad experiences with February 14th. Over the years I’ve been adored, surprised, and spoiled. Like my recent trip to Cabo. And I’ve also spent the holiday single eating an entire box of Samoas [...]

When I was a junior in college I had what I consider to be an emotional meltdown. It was one of those years where things snowballed from bad to worse, largely due to my own thinking. I binge ate candy bars, was in therapy facing a lot of old demons, and burned down all of [...]

Yesterday my friend Amy sent me a great TED Talk. It is so funny, insightful, and helpful, that it is one of my favorites of all time. In the talk about positive psychology, Shawn Achor explains how to get more success at work, intentionally. (Since WordPress isn’t letting me upload the video in this screen [...]

This morning I woke up with a feeling of excitement for the many new projects I’m working on for Jess LC. And at the same time, I also had a knot of dread bigger than an Ann Sather’s cinnamon roll in my stomach. You see, we have been in the process of getting our new [...]
