Second advocacy event for Prevent Blindness was an absolute success. I am going to bed this evening feeling overwhelmingly pleased with how things went— the enthusiasm from our advocates, the meetings with many Members of Congress that I truly hope and pray (and that I will work work work!!) to move the needle on vision health, and feeling personally like all of the sacrifices mean something. Even if I only get reminded of that once a year. I love my job. Going to bed with a full and very grateful heart tonight. 😊#governmentaffairs #capitolhill

It’s been a whirlwind day of meetings on the Hill talking to Members of Congress. It’s a great time to be a vision and eye health advocate! #governmentaffairs #eyesoncapitolhill

Doing what I do. 🙂#eyesoncapitolhill #advocacy #governmentaffairs

This week is going to be insane. At work, it’s my organization’s advocacy fly-in event plus a board meeting, plus a conference. I’ve got many high-level meetings this week to take, and just as many small details to handle. It’s overwhelming. Because it’s after midnight, I sort of pushed my “Bedside Blessings” book aside before realizing I needed it more than ever right now. This passage, in all of God’s perfect timing, was just what I needed. Wish me luck ☺️#bedsideblessings #charlesswindoll #busyweek

Started my day with a sunrise run, ended with a sunset run. Trust me, it was prettier in person and yes, the water was begging for more time with me. #dcsunset #potomacriver #summerindc #seenonmyrun

Didn’t get as much time on the water today as I usually do, but oh man, it was beautiful out there! Gorgeous blue-green, clear water and a hazy sun. So hot and humid but the water was calm and there was hardly a wind. Just what I need before a crazy week of work events and meetings. Already can’t wait to hit the water again next weekend!! #justagirlandherpaddleboard #boatingindc #potomacriver #mydccool #summerindc

Out the door at 7AM for part one of my 14-mile long run. Obvious meant to get up earlier and knock it all out, but have I mentioned I am not a morning runner?? Anyway, I totally get it with serene sunrises like this. Envious of the 1-2 kayakers I saw out there. Kept a light easy pace; getting the miles in the books with a decent cadence is all I am after since I’m not training for a PR in Berlin. #washingtondc #mydccool #dcsunrise #dcrunner #runner #runlife #runchat #rundc

It’s here. #allstargame2018 #mydccool #washingtondc #nats #nationals #allstarsummer

#fbf On a very very busy day, I’m wishing I had some paddle time on that clear gorgeous blue water to look forward to soon. #islamorada #floridakeys #fallbackfriday #peaksup #justagirlandherpaddleboard

Five miles after dark because that’s all the time I had today. And now I need wine, water, and sleep... in that order... #berlinmarathon #marathontraining #runchat #runlife #runwashington #runrosslyn

Sat down on a bench in City Center earlier today and spotted (get it?) this little guy basking in the sun. Not sure why it was there, maybe a child left it behind on accident, but it sort of put a smile on my face. ☺️#itsthelittlethings #mydccool

Today I got to meet with retiring Florida Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and tell her thanks for all the work she has done to advance vision and eye health in Congress. ☺️#ilovemyjob #patientadvocacy #congress #governmentaffairs #eyesoncapitolhill Photo Credit📸: Rep. Ros-Lehtinen staff

Everything in moderation. #oneofthosedays #givemegrace #haventsaidanythingyet

Spent some time on the water this evening, because of course. 🙂Took a fast pace through the channel between Theodore Roosevelt Island and back up past the Kennedy Center, Watergate, and Georgetown Waterfront. Spent the sunset bobbing around the area that makes me feel calm, up around Three Sisters. Great Monday evening! #justagirlandherpaddleboard #goprosup #summerindc #boatingindc #potomacriver #rosslynva #oiselleswim #bicsup #birdswim

Here’s a little truth of mine: I hate the saying “choose joy.” When I hear it, I hear, “Ignore how you really feel because that has no meaning and you’re just being a downer.” It also makes me feel like it’s not up to me to feel the way I truly want to feel about something that just flat out hurts or sucks or makes me sad. Or maybe I think it’s someone projecting their inability to be comfortable with what totally blows onto me, someone who is much more comfortable with expression. Choose joy doesn’t feel real to me. Instead, I say, “Find joy.” Take your time with what sucks or hurts or makes you sad, then find joy in it when you’re ready. I think that’s how you find meaning. It’s taken me SO LONG to get there. And maybe I’m not ready to say it was worth it, but I wouldn’t lose a day getting here either. And especially today, I feel like that’s something. #runlife #runwashington #runchat #summerindc #runthoughts #sundayrunday #ithinkwhenirun #lifeisshort #smilethoughyourheartisaching

Oh boy, that 7-miler hurt. Also would have rather been on the water with a sunset like that. #summerindc #runwashington #runlife #runchat

Everyone who is planning a big work event should get golden hugs at the end of a busy Friday! #goldenretriever #dogsitting

The misconception about Independence Day in Washington, DC is that the fireworks are the absolute best in the country. That may not exactly be true— DC doesn’t spend a lot on their fireworks. But it doesn’t matter: there’s something about seeing them explode in brilliance over the monuments and light the night sky in our nation’s capital that makes me realize there’s really nowhere else I’d rather be on the Fourth of July. (P.S. I love the smiley face one!)☺️💥🎆🇺🇸⭐️❤️💙#july4th #fourthofjuly #summerindc #happybirthdayamerica #dcfireworks #rooftop #upontheroof

I planned on hanging out until fireworks time but couldn’t help but get out there on a perfect summer holiday day. It’s pretty much a party out there— so many boats! #fourthofjuly #happybirthdayamerica #july4th #boatingindc #justagirlandherpaddleboard #summerindc

Happy Fourth of July ❤️💙⭐️🇺🇸💥🎆#july4th #happybirthdayamerica #fourthofjuly
