Remember back in January when I said I like to make monthly goals?  I wasn’t kidding, I do!  February somehow got away from me before I shared my goal for the month, but have no fear! I’m here to report on how my January goal went, and to share my February goal and how that […]

One of the most impactful things I’ve learned recently is the importance of your inner self-talk.  It can truly make or break your day, and can make the difference in how you see the world. This post gets a little rambly, but I have a lot to say about self-talk, so bear with me. Let’s […]

Today we’re going to get a little deep.  This topic has been on my mind for a while, and I’ve been wrestling with it for a while, and it seems ready to come to life so let’s see how this goes. First off, a bit of a story.  And of course it has to do […]

This week has been a week full of emotions no matter where you fall on the political spectrum. I’m personally feeling a bit disappointed, and trying to retain hope that we have a bright future ahead. I could say a whole lot more than that, but there are many other people who have expressed their […]

Many people have written about the magic of tidying up with the KonMari method (including me), including the impact it has had on their lives and the spaces they live in. I have seen many posts about people getting rid of things they don’t need anymore, as well as finding a new way to shop […]

Spring allergies and stress letdown caught up with me in a major way in the last week. I could tell that I was getting sicker by the hour last Monday afternoon, and I knew I had a big week ahead. Sometimes schedules allow you to recover in bed for a while, but sometimes you need […]

I picked up The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo when I was in Chicago in the fall, and finally finished it over the holidays, and I’m just now getting to writing about it because it has continued to have a lasting impact on me. You should know that I haven’t KonMari-ed my […]

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and especially after the Grammys, and seeing Brené Brown speak on Sunday, this has really been on my mind. Don’t get me wrong. I love Taylor Swift. I could listen to her songs on repeat for days. I even flew to Tampa to see her in concert. […]
