Stop Stepping On Your Saplings

April 24, 2016 by Donloree 2 Comments

Do stuff, risk failure and keep going.  Accomplishing amazing goals and becoming proficient anything requires you to start and then keep going; to accept the work, time, discipline and sacrifice it takes to get what you want out of your life. Ignorance gets you started; purpose keeps you going. And just in case you were curious, […]

Why Didn’t You Bring Ice Skates? {Half Marathon Musings}

February 7, 2016 by Donloree 1 Comment

Today was the Hypothermic Half Marathon up here in the subarctic. The name of the event is slightly ironic this year since it was a balmy -3 when I started out; have I mentioned how much I adore El Niño? Instead of dressing like an eskimo, I had on a few light layers and didn’t […]

The ‘Have Done List’

October 29, 2015 by Donloree 4 Comments
superdry

One of my rules in life is to try things at least once. I am not allowed to hate or say I can’t do something until I have tried it. If I have tried it and hate it or can’t do it, I am allowed to freely share my opinion and never do again if I don’t […]

The Fellowship Of The Ring {52 Books}

September 6, 2014 by Donloree 1 Comment
Determined Donloree

 Confession time. I have yet to watch the Lord Of The Rings movies. *gasp* Nor have I watched Titanic, but that is a whole different story for another day. Simply put, I like to read the book before I watch the movie. Honors Sophomore English required us to read The Hobbit which, at the age of […]

Being Competitive Can Be Counterproductive

June 26, 2014 by Donloree 6 Comments

I am seriously competitive. Playing ‘just for fun‘ is not fun. Now creaming someone, being the absolute best, winning, getting first…those things are fun for me. This would be why I don’t do well playing board games with my in-laws at Christmas. My in-laws are possibly the nicest people on the planet and board games are loads of […]

The Gift Came With The Grind

January 27, 2014 by Donloree 3 Comments

How often do you compare yourself to someone else? Weekly? Daily? Hourly? Minute by minute? If you are like me, it goes in waves. When I am working hard at my own dreams and doing what I am supposed to do in life, it is easy to keep my comparison to myself – only looking […]

Lost in the Arctic Tundra?

December 3, 2013 by Donloree 8 Comments

The past six months have been an eerily quiet time in my life. Not too much on the outside, but oh so much on the inside. I have found myself going through my days, wondering what I am doing with my life. Do not misunderstand me, I love what I do and there is nothing wrong […]

Pushing Cars

October 17, 2013 by Donloree 2 Comments

A few days ago, my husband and I were driving home in the midst of rush hour on a main artery when we suddenly noticed the traffic in front of us slowing diverting to the left lane. A carmel colored car was slowly flashing its way long the lane with a man jogging next to […]
