Prefontaine
Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, ‘I’ve never seen anyone run like that before.’ It’s more than just a race, it’s a style. It’s doing something better than anyone else. It’s being creative. ~ Steve Prefontaine

This Girl On The Go is gearing up for a trip to The Big Apple next week. I’ll be taking my two older sons along for their first exposure to “The Big City and Bright Lights.” Aside from scouting out all the flagship longboarding stores, best bagels and pizza joints the Big Apple has to offer, we have plans to hit up all the major sites including The Met and MoMA. As I started poking around the internet for “tween” friendly information about these two art museums, I came across Art Project powered by Google. Art lovers and art “curious” be...
Read MoreThe Art of A-WOL
Do you remember swinging on the monkey bars and loving the feeling of hanging upside down then flipping through your hands? I do! Have you ever watched kids playing and shrieking with laughter then find yourself smiling because that joy is contagious? That’s the best. You know how a song can transport you and alter your mood? Happens to me on a daily basis. A-WOL stands for Aerial Without Limits. The dancers at A-WOL are rehearsing for their Spring show Left Of Center which runs April 26-28th. I had the pleasure of attending one of their open house...
Read MoreOnce A Broadway Baby, Always A Broadway Baby.
I’ve always loved Broadway Shows ever since the first time I saw Cats with my mom when I was 10 years old. At first my love affair began with the thrill of getting dressed up for this event. Few other things brought such excitment as the process of picking out the perfect outfit, it was the precursor to the main event. Even still to this day, getting ready for a night out is just as much a high point and intricate piece of the evening itself. My next recollection is arriving at the theater and walking into one of the most beautifully breathtaking buildings I had ever seen. A...
