Congrats to the Mizzou class of 2020! I arrived on campus in the fall of 1992. I was a biology major determined to go to medical school in 1996. Instead, I graduated with degrees in English and Secondary Education, with a minor in history, in the spring of 1997. I Read more…
I have, on occasion, considered running a race. Then I laugh it off and move on. All kidding aside, I get the pull of running: Your only investment is a good pair of shoes and race entry fees. You run on your schedule. You can run as little or as Read more…
As part of the jury for the ELLE magazine Readers’ Prize, all reviewers get to vote on the top book of the year, either for fiction or non-fiction. Since I’ve been reading non-fiction titles for them, I voted on six memoirs that had been picked as “best of the month” throughout Read more…

Because our move coincided with Mizzou’s Read more…
Now that I am a mother to a baby boy with a partner who is highly athletic and competitive, I have a feeling that many youth sports are in our future. While I don’t know what our little man will take a fancy to, or for what he’ll have an Read more…
I can’t believe it’s been five years since PTPN launched Physiquality, a health and wellness brand for its member physical therapists. At the time, I was working for PTPN’s national headquarters in California, and oversaw the creation of the original website (as I’ve overseen its development, expansion and blog ever Read more…
Now that I’m six months pregnant, I’m trying to read as much as I can before the baby comes. These reviews were submitted before the holidays, and I’m looking forward to fitting in at least one more jury before my due date in April. While this was my second pick Read more…
While everyone likes to start the new year off fresh, I don’t think many practice office managers look forward to mastering the new regulations that go into effect every January 1.
