Every now and then, it’s time for a reboot. Having spent so much time away (when I got back to my office earlier this week, my desk calendar still said October…), and even more time focused on wedding planning, I am overdue for such a…

Today: Thankful for fitness.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I can’t help but be mindful of the many reasons I have to be grateful. The love and support of my husband, family and friends tops them all. Faith, health, shelter and security are not far behind. I am grateful for…

Today: A night at the Boston Ballet.
Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of being a guest of the Boston Ballet on opening night of their Fall Program at the Boston Opera House. After having the opportunity to interview corps de ballet member Emily Mistretta earlier in the month, I’d been so looking…

Today: A weekend at home.

Today: Photo booths, popcorn, and people. {#HLS12 Part I}
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I went to bed at 8:30 last night, if that’s any indication of how much fun I had this weekend at the 2012 Healthy Living Summit. (To be fair, I would go to bed at 8:30 every night if that was an option.) From…

Today: Freshly showered.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am as grateful as I am lucky, which is to say, very. All of my lovely bridesmaids were in town this weekend, along with family and friends, to host the most wonderful bridal shower. In short: I laughed, I cried (only a…
