Hey Beautiful People,
I am a loving, genuine human being that wants to see change! I detest bullies, but love people with compassion! My favorite things are animals, chocolate, working out, and writing. I am a graduate of the University of Virginia, the author of the children’s books series, Lulu, the Cocker Spaniel (kristinstiff.com), and am a huge fitness enthusiast! I run, swim, lift weights, and of course yoga it out (Om) to keep my competitive edge at bay.
I will stamp you with my heart and soul a bit every week. Translation please! This blog will chronicle my journey inside the wonderful world of kindness. Welcome to my magical ride: lie back, cross your arms across your chest. and slide down with me into the great unknown.
Always be kind and love the skin you’re in!
-Kristin

Whoops, I actually meant to leave that comment under here, didn’t realize that I sent it to your e-mail π I have a friend who has a Cane Corso. They are great dogs. Good luck on your race. I wish it was warmer here so I could get back out there. Looks like it the elliptical for me!
Kristin
Haha, that’s okay!! π Yes, Prince is an awesome dog!! He is truly a “gentle giant”! I appreciate your message and thank you for wishing me luck on my race! I’m excited! Still have another few weeks, but trying to mentally prepare at this point, too! That’s a tough one for me! π I get so nervous! I hope it warms up really soon for you!! I hope you have a great workout on the elliptical!!
