September 11 – 21 Years Later May We Never Forget

beams of light

On this day every year since starting my blog, I share my thoughts from and about September 11, 2001, so that we never forget. As we are now 21 years from the tragic events of that horrific day in history, it is just so important that we keep telling our stories and teaching the younger […]

Week in Workouts + Heart Walk

It was a packed week of holidays, memorials, and events last week – Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah, the 20th anniversary of September 11 (and my mom’s birthday), and the Long Island Heart Walk yesterday in memory of my childhood friend’s brother, Adam. With time off from work during the first part of the week, I […]

September 11, 2001 – 20 Years Later May We Never Forget

september 11

On this day every year since starting my blog, I share my thoughts from and about September 11, 2001, so that we never forget. Twenty years. I can’t believe it’s now 20 years ago. It still feels like yesterday to me but it’s been 20 YEARS. In last year’s post, I wrote about how I […]

September 11, 2001 – Never Forget

beams of light

  On this day every year since starting my blog, I share my thoughts from and about September 11, 2001, so that we never forget. Over the last few months, during which time our country experiences major unrest, I think about the police officers. The brave men and women who run towards terror attacks instead […]

September 11: Never Forget

september 11

  Long-time readers probably remember that every year on this day, I share an updated version of my original Never Forget post. I cannot even believe it’s September 11 again. 18 years later and I still don’t forget where I was and how the tragic events of that day have changed our lives forever. I […]

Never Forget + Disordered Eating Post

september 11

  I cannot even believe it’s September 11 again. Last year’s 15th anniversary feels like yesterday as does writing last year about the pathetic peanut butter sandwich I ate back when the towers were falling. Before I go any further, I want to share the link to that disordered eating post again in case you missed it. […]

A Pathetic Peanut Butter Sandwich (Disordered Eating Chat)

365 peanut butter

Today’s post will discuss disordered eating, amenorrhea and things like that. If this is not a topic for you to be reading right now, I will see you tomorrow for What I Ate Wednesday. 🙂 In Sunday’s post, I mentioned that I recalled eating a peanut butter sandwich with an apple on September 11, 2001 as I watched […]

The Week, The Workouts & Apple Crisp

  Linking up with Meg’s Week in Review! Last week saw the return to our back to school routine as well as my usual running schedule. After a cut back week, I felt fresh and ready to roll out there! I have been running a bit later in the morning though as my son decided to take the bus […]

September 11 – Never Forget

september 11

  So long as I have this blog, I will never be able to write about anything else on September 11 because it will never be just another day on the calendar to me. Writing about my workouts seems so frivolous today so I will be back tomorrow with my weekly workout recap. I often think about September […]

It’s Never Just Another Day

september 11

  So long as I have this blog, I will never be able to write about anything else on September 11th because it will never be just another day on the calendar to me and writing about Friday favorites, sharing recipes that involve peanut butter or talking about running just seems wrong for me. I […]

What I Recall 9/11/01

I was 23 back on September 11, 2001…. A soon-to-be bride, already working a full year out of college….A lot of life has occurred for me over the last 12 years. Yet, every September 11, I am brought back to that day and that year as if it were yesterday. I recall driving to work […]
