Happy Summer! What a beautiful weekend to kick off SUMMER... my favorite season. Sunshine, beaches, boats, ocean... rinse, repeat.

This weekend kicked off with the Boston JP Morgan Corporate Challenge. The "race" is a complete disaster as the first mile and a half is a walk/jog/sprint due to the thousands of participants. That being said, it is one of my favorite events! I love it when companies encourage their employees to GET ACTIVE. And, I LOVE the camaraderie.

Saturday night, I headed out with Rachael and Leanda. Roofdeck cocktails, Bruins game, & dancing. It was a much needed fun night out.

Nothing like watching the sunrise on a morning run.

Remember... Where there is a will, there is a way. Set your goals and do everything in your power to achieve them.

Yesterday, my family gathered at my Uncle & Aunt's house in Lakeville (where I grew up :)) to celebrate my cousin being home from the Marines for a short week. It was so nice to have (almost) the whole D'Alessandro clan together. We don't do it often enough. Here I am with my mom and brother. All smiles.

Have a great week! xo

I've been thinking about this little gem from Aristotle lately. What is it that you do every day?

You sell. You're a salesperson. | You complain. You're a complainer. | You run. You're a runner.

You take care of your family. You're a caretaker. | You're positive. You're an optimist. | You whine. You're a whiner.

We are all multiple things. Choose what you do wisely.

My point is... . If you want to be a runner, start running. A cook, start cooking. A money maker, start working harder. A better friend, call your friends. You get the point. It's never too late to start anything.

Remember... "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit" - Aristotle

Have an awesome week. xo
