We kicked off our 8th season of leading Dallas Galloway. I went to Houston for the annual TAMIO conference. And I came home with two awards for our team’s work! We had a successful first-ever Donut Dash 10k with our Galloway runners (despite the heat). And because I love England, of course I ran the […]

May 2022 – Wrap Up
May was super busy, which made it go by in a flash. Employee Appreciation Week always brings fun opportunities to visit our facilities and take care of our teammates. Coldplay returned to Dallas!!! This concert brought us so much joy. It was wonderful. We followed the concert up with a trip to see the Interactive […]
March 2022 – Wrap Up
Ah, March. Spring has sprung and life got pretty busy at the same time. Voting day! Always vote, especially in local races. We went to a Chef’s Dinner at Terra Eataly. It was wonderful! The Texas-Kansas nativity Kelly custom ordered for my birthday was ready to come home! Soup Week – now Soup Month – […]
February 2022 – Wrap Up
February kept us guessing with the weather (what a roller coaster!) and with family (again…can’t we keep everyone healthy and whole for just a while?). It just seems to be what life is about these days. The sunrises and sunsets were especially showy. We loved them. Surprise! Another winter storm. Time to spin up the […]
January 2022 – Wrap Up
January 2022 can be summed up thusly: Non-COVID head colds, weekend trips to Tyler, weekday trips to Paris (TX), running, more work and deadlines than hours and days available, and books. We started the year with colds, but still hosted and ran our first annual Dallas Galloway New Year’s Day 5-miler fun run and 2 […]
2022 Word of the Year: Refocused
At this point, it feels crazy to guess what a year may bring. Thank you 2020 and 2021 for teaching me that. But I believe I still have agency in life, over my choices, priorities and emotions. With that in mind, no matter what 2022 may bring, I choose to be Refocused. I want to […]
Looking back on 2021
My word for 2021 was Centered. Honestly, I feel it perfectly encapsulated the year – but not at all in the ways I thought when I wrote my start-of-the-year post. I thought we’d stay home more, avoid races, completing our backyard renovation and taking cooking classes. Instead, we went to 13 states, ran 9 races, […]
November 2021 – Wrap Up
November started crazy, ended quiet and had a lot packed in between. In some ways, I wish all months were like this, particularly if there are 4-day weekends built in. Glory turned two! Only one more year to go until she outgrows puppy crazy. Or never. It depends on who you talk to, to be […]
On Happiness
I took a Peloton happiness meditation session this weekend. Part of the instruction was to reflect back on a moment when we knew we were happy and to reflect on the physical feelings it invoked. The images that flashed through my mind surprised me. My 25th birthday in Kenya, standing alone in a field with […]
September 2021 – Wrap Up
I’m not sure when I’ve wanted to write a Hayley life monthly wrap up less than I want to right now. In 1992, Queen Elizabeth II marked her Ruby Anniversary by declaring it an “annus horribilis.” Given all of the events that impacted her family in 1992, the world understood exactly what she meant. September […]
