I’ve lived in Northern California since I was 3 years old. So a long time. I live about an hour north of San Francisco, yet I have never, in all my life been to Alcatraz. I’ve always wanted to go, I just never have. I’ve been having a rough week and I needed to do [...]

Breathing Again
January 8th, 2012 
bekkib73 Note: I have needed to write this post for a very long time. Each time I’ve tried, it came out too sad, too angry, or with too many details of my pain. I wasn’t ready. I’ve read 2 posts in the past week from amazing women who have experienced painful breakups, one who is still [...]
Unapologetically Me
January 6th, 2012 bekkib73 I may not be the world’s greatest mom – but I love my children more than anything in this world, and I do the best I can. I may have made mistakes as their mom, but I am human. I do know that I would never make my kids feel like they weren’t welcome in [...]
Goal setting for 2012
December 31st, 2011 bekkib73 Well, if you would have told me a year ago what my life would look like today, I might have punched you in the throat. Okay, probably not, since I’m not really the violent type, but I certainly would have called you an f’n liar to your face. There pretty much isn’t anything about the [...]

2011 – A look back
December 29th, 2011 bekkib73 I can honestly tell you that last year when I was thinking about how my life would look at the end of 2011, it was 100% different than what has actually transpired. Regardless, it was certainly an eventful (and memorable) year! This picture is probably one of my favorites of the year. I came across [...]
Merry Christmas!
December 25th, 2011 bekkib73 Merry Christmas everyone! This kid is the main reason I’m smiling this year. This holiday season has been so difficult for me, and if it weren’t for being blessed with this amazing young man, I don’t know what I would do. Instead, I sit here on Christmas morning, and watch this beautiful soul get excited [...]
Down but never out
December 12th, 2011 bekkib73 I’ve been doing pretty good at getting over my broken heart and moving on with my life. Every so often shit happens and I feel knocked back down. The downside? Feeling knocked back down. The upside? The way I feel has absolutely nothing to do with him. In fact, I rarely think about him anymore. [...]
Wanted: My Motivation
November 26th, 2011 bekkib73 Crap. It was *just* here… where did I put it? Oh motivation… why must you be so elusive? I have pretty much done very little in the form of healthy living in the last month and a half. At first it was resting up so that I would be able to start marathon training with [...]
5 days
November 13th, 2011 bekkib73 5 days, 7 hours and 5 minutes remain when I hit this publish button… My body is physically and mentally exhausted from the stress of waiting. The wait is almost over. I wish I could adequately explain what I’m going through. I am quite literally on an emotional roller coaster. I will be feeling great [...]
Thankful Thursday – I sense a theme…
October 13th, 2011 bekkib73 My last couple posts have been about me making progress in my training and work outs. But there is emotional progress going on as well. I finally feel at peace. With my new life. With the way things have turned out. With the fact that a chapter in my life is over. Don’t get me [...]
