SERVING SELFHOOD.
Sep 21, 2022
Hello! I hope this email finds you soaking up the final days of summer sunshine. As I think about the pending season ahead it feels relevant to share a word I’m loving these days–Selfhood: individuality; the quality or state of being selfish.  After digging further into the definition of individuality, I love it even more--Individuality: separate or distinct existence.  The word selfish gets a...
MID-YEAR REFLECTION QUESTIONS.
Sep 21, 2022
Hello and thank you for being here, it has been a minute! I miss our weekly check-in here and on the podcast. These past couple of months have called me to temporarily press pause on a few things and shift extra time and attention toward supporting my daughter through a challenging season on her journey. When the people we love need us, we are invited to adjust our best laid plans and expectati...
40 WISHES FOR YOU.
Sep 21, 2022
It's Mother's Day weekend!  Mothering has been, hands down, the most challenging and deeply rewarding work of my life.  I've been a little more quiet and less frequent on here lately because I'm working through one of the toughest seasons of mothering right now (more on this topic at a later time).  This week, I'm reminded of one of the many reasons I write--to document perspective.  To remind mys...
Your Morning Routine is Not a To-Do List.
Sep 21, 2022
Hello and welcome back! Let’s talk morning routines. I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic the past couple of weeks. Our morning routine is a habit and like all habits, we aren’t always conscious of their impact. Â

Reaching for our phone first thing in the morning, wandering into email, social media, all the other places that create distraction and overwhelm ultimately doesn’t serve. Som...
PRACTICING PRESENCE
Apr 04, 2022
Hello and welcome back!  As we return to routine from Spring Break, I am reminded of why stepping away from the day to day is so important, for all of us. Last week, Carson experienced turquoise water for the first time (bonus, we even saw a few sea turtles!). Kids are SO good at being in the present moment, aren’t they? He would have slept on that beach if we let him, he couldn’t get enough. “...
MATH THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME
Mar 16, 2022
Hello and welcome back!  Are you noticing the change in season?  Daffodils and trees blooming, longer days, Spring is showing herself. This week, I’m sharing some Math that makes sense to me (most of it doesn’t).
Â
The more I study, the more fascinated I become about the paradoxical truth of the human brain and how the mind works. It's responsible for wildly complicated and complex systems and...
THE SHADOW SIDE OF COMPARISON
Mar 16, 2022
Let’s talk about comparison.  A natural, primal behavior we all find ourselves engaging in from time to time. As with most words, I love to begin with a definition—Comparison: the representing of one thing or person as similar to or like another, an examination of two or more items to establish similarities and dissimilarities.  How do we compare ourselves to other people? We either compare up, ...
3 TIMELESS TRUTHS OF LEADERSHIP
Feb 15, 2022
Hello and welcome back!  Let’s talk about leadership. In this post pandemic world, there’s a lot that is new and different but today, I’m dishing on what I believe remains unchanged. As our trusted leadership expert, Brenè Brown, reminds us: A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes and has the courage to develop that potential.  If you are read...
ENERGY + EXPECTATIONS
Feb 02, 2022
Hello and welcome back. It’s February!  The theme of the month around here is energy.  More specifically, the physical, mental, and emotional energy we keep. I believe our energy is the most valuable resource in our toolbox. The good news (and bad news when mismanaged) is our energy is not set, it varies from day to day, maybe even hour to hour. Thankfully it’s a renewable resource.  We can gene...
WORD OF THE YEAR
Feb 02, 2022
2022 Word of The YearÂ
Each January, I choose a word to guide me in the year ahead. A word that represents a theme for life, an anchor I can return to throughout the year. Choosing a word for the year can be a simple reminder to guide your intentions, decisions, and focus.  Your word can represent what you want to invite into your life, how you want to show-up and be in the world, and/or what y...
