Lakation.
Lā ˈkā-shən. noun, often needed in the midst of summer, or anytime, really.
This is where I will be from tonight, until Wednesday morning. Soaking in the empty, yet fullness of the days that drift into afternoons and evenings filled with laughter, family, and friends.
Sometimes, it’s just needed. This is one of those times.
Do yourselves a favor…find a way to ‘lakate’ this weekend, soak in the summer in any way you can. Because this time? It’s truly the height of every single thing I love about this season. And then some.
Cheers, friends.

Lakation. Bliss. <3.

I'm 33. I’m divorced (almost four years later…it no longer defines me, but I hold it proudly as a sign of strength, determination and new beginnings). I’m a runner. A barre (n9ne) instructor/geek/devotee. A sister. A lover (to M…a man I met at just the right time in my journey and is truly the man handpicked for me, the man I’m meant to be with…forever).
Join me on my journey, as it unfolds, sharing my thoughts on all things life, from running (a half marathon dabbler and ‘never say never’ attitude towards races), to my experience as an instructor at barre n9ne (my passion and addiction!) and healthy and fit lifestyle of choice, to choosing happiness and keeping perspective on life. This is also my haven to (sometimes) share my experiences in love, and where that journey takes us, 2+ years strong…and anything else that inspires me to push, sweat, and smile.

We used to go to the lake in Maine every summer when I was a kid. I wish we still did but my mom sold her cabin.

This looks like a blast! My family lives on a lake, and this brings back memories of swimming, boating and playing when we were younger! Every time I visit my parents, I try to get out on the lake to relax, enjoy and reminisce. Hope you had a great time : )
July 16, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Isn’t it the best!! Thoroughly enjoying (storming as we speak. Love summer rain!)
