Exercise and Life After Chemo
Here's my first publicly posted shirtless selfie. As taboo as it is, there, I did it. Jump on the shirtless selfie hate train, or read on. (Although technically I guess this isn't a selfie because I wasn't holding the camera.) I post this photo because I was...
2013 Wrap Up
Now is the yearly ritual of reflecting on the past 12 months and I'm stoked to list a few things that occurred this year. I re-read last year's summary and it was a great reminder of just how much can happen in one year. My memory is already trying to stretch those...
