Happy Oscar Sunday!
Every year, I try to see as many Oscar nominated movies as possible. Following the nomination announcement in January, the race is on! I get a little obsessive about it. I’m a Walsh after all. It’s in our genetic makeup to be constantly competing to completion. Even if it’s just a personal challenge, we want ...

Connecting to the passed
Abby and I went to see a medium yesterday. I had gotten the idea from one of my office team members. She had gone with her mother. Her mom gave her a session for her birthday. She loved it. I decided it was something I’d like to do for my birthday. My niece Abby wanted to ...

I had Body Awareness Day Off!
Monday might have been President’s Day nationally but it turned into body awareness day personally. I started out with a solid training session with Josh. After Friday’s disappointment, my body owed me. And it performed! Push-ups, sit-ups, leg lifts and a variety of other exercises tested me and I met the challenge. Now, that doesn’t mean ...

What the funk?

How I spent Blizzard 2015
I survived the Chicago blizzard of 2011 and 2015. So, I’ve got that! It seems like the very act of surviving is a resume builder, conversation starter or just a smug reality. Chicago endures disaster in style. We don’t get bogged down in the idea of epic weather. We go out in it. How I spent my ...

Where are you in your story?
I miss my Christmas lights. Although it’s been less than 24 hours, when you wake up to howling wind, snowy sleet and overall bleak gloom, you want bright dangling lights framing that windowscape. Today looks a little wet and miserable for Chicago. Still, I can’t complain. I’m basking in a weekend robust in good conversations ...
