Tear It Up!

Going to see these boys come home and rock out with some of my faves this weekend.

Simply.can't.wait.

FABB!

Lucky Magazine made its west coast debut for its Fashion and Beauty Blog Conference, 'FABB' the other day and 'lucky' me got to attend! Held at the Annenburg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, California! A day packed with some of the fashion industry's greatest inspirations and stylish bloggers. Everyone from Zac Posen to Jessica Alba to little 'Sally Drapper' from Mad Men, sharing their insights into the changing world of fashion while some of the best style bloggers tweeted and instagramed every moment.

'A Fine Frenzy' ended the day with a mini-private performance on the deck of the Marion Davies Guest House on site. The perfect ending to a very fashionable day!

While I love blogging, finding the time (and my renegade missions to find a computer) are often failures. But alas, I will continue to try my best. I've been thinking really about the direction that I want to take this blog. Most of it I feel has been about my healing and the next chapter in my life. I still debate about how much I want to share, how much I really want to open up about. The reality is, God has given me this testimony. And I'll be real, I've been praying about how best to share it. Not here per say, but in general. 


I can't imagine it being any coincidence that in our small groups at church that that is exactly what we're working on doing now. There's a road in it for me to share. I have no clue where it will take me or really how best to tell it, but I know in my heart that there's purpose in it. An awesome purpose.


New York this round was bitter-sweet, saying goodbye to old friends and running into old memories. And for the first time, I realized how much I missed the community of other Christians. Let me just throw the disclaimer out there- Some Christians (and I believe we all know which ones) have given the rest of us who truly believe the word, a really bad wrap. I might however, have to save that for another post. 


My community is made of friends are there for each other (what a concept!) filled with men who are genuine and true and men who love their wives the way that the bible says (Ephesians 5:25 ) 
A group of marriages that are examples of "rolling up your sleeves" when life gets difficult and ugly but being truthful in it. To be honest, I'm around people that build each other up. My life isn't about drinking every night till the sun comes up or going to concert after concert and having meaningless conversations about politics, but diving into matters that really matter in life. 

                                  

Never ever did I think I would be able to do 12 miles. Even writing it sounds daunting, but I did it!

Last Saturday (and after two weeks of non-stop work and travel!) I met up with Team In Training for the Train Run! Starting in Solana Beach, we took the train up to Oceanside. Simple, leave your car in S.B and run back to it! One minor problem, I hadn't ran in a bit because of work and the sun decided to shine warm and bright way too early.

All three Team In Training San Diego teams came together for the run. If the excitement and adrenaline for the Rock N' Roll is even half of what it was Saturday, I think I just might be officially addicted to half-marathons (for the moment...and yes 26 miles, I'm looking at you next!)

I'm still amazed at where life has taken me. The people that have become part of my everyday life, and traveling a road that was never meant to be the life plan. And yet, I couldn't be happier!
