runDisney Excitement

July 11, 2012 | Uncategorized

Good morning! Sad day. Traveling home from the beach. I know I always say this but it went by so fast!!! It was a fun way to spend my birthday week. Still a bit spooked my birthday falls on Friday the 13th this year!

So how many of you signed up for the Disney Princess half yesterday?!? If you will remember, I had a blast running this years race and hope I am able to go back next year.

Did you know what Disney expects over 28,000 runners for this years event? It’s a great year to run, too. You see, it’s the fifth anniversary of the race. Disney loves doing special medals on anniversary years!

The 5k will be the Mickey and Minnie mouse royal 5k, what a fun theme! There will also be kids races and the fit for a princess health and fitness expo. You don’t want to miss this! Mark your calendars for February 22-24 2013 and register now to join in the fun!

Also don’t forget I have a discounted group rate available for booking! Email me at heather@travelwiththemagic.com for details!

QOTD: who is your favorite Disney princess and why?

    I soooooo want to do this! Question is the money to do it and travel and all. Can’t I just win the lottery so I can run races and travel all the time? Haha!

    I want to run this so badly, I just don’t know if money will allow it. Jasmine’s my favorite princess and she’s in all the ads, so I’m thinking it’s basically a sign!!

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
