I've had enough.  My weight keeps creeping in the wrong direction and my body is full of aches and pains.  I decided it was time to do something about it this summer.  I started with a food sensitivity test which told me I shouldn't be eating flaxseed, blue dye #5, and dairy.  I can handle the first two but dairy?  That's a … [Read more...]

Years ago someone asked me about integrity.  She was having a hard time wrapping her head around what it actually is.  I had the same challenge and had actually done some research on it prior to that conversation so I shared what I had learned.  While the definition of integrity is to possess the quality of being honest and … [Read more...]

Every week, I get this question from someone dear to me.  While I rarely have time to respond, the purpose of the post is not lost on me...it always gets me thinking about what's going on in my life and what is inspiring me most and bringing me the most joy.  Today, I came across this video and I have a total girl crush on … [Read more...]

I've had the urge to update here for a while and I'm taking a few minutes to do so tonight.  I miss all of you!! Life is good AND crazy!  We are empty nesters again and, while I miss my daughter, I am enjoying the extra space in our home.  We went on our first cruise a couple of weeks ago and had a great time.  I don't … [Read more...]

I have been absent from this blog for three and a half months now.  I can't believe that much time has passed.  There have been so many times my soul has yearned to come here and share.  And yet, I haven't done so.  Until the last couple of weeks, my life has felt very out of balance.  I finally feel like I've got some room … [Read more...]

I've been working a lot.  I feel like summer is half over and I've gone bike riding once and kayaking once.  We've camped a few times but also cancelled a couple of trips.  As someone who is constantly harping about the importance of always making time for things that nourish and fulfill us, I feel like I'm totally … [Read more...]

Uggg!  I've been such a bad blogger lately.  The new business has been crazy busy as we get up and running (always more to do that we think) and the consulting business is going really well too.  It's easy when life gets overwhelming to feel trapped and I'm really uncomfortable with that feeling.  I've done so much in my … [Read more...]

I got a new car (just like the one pictured here) a couple of days ago.  It wasn't an easy decision to make.  I've had my trusted vehicle for 6 years...longer than any other vehicle I've owned.  I loved her.  She has been my favorite car out of all the cars I've had and I've had newer and "nicer" but she really grabbed a … [Read more...]

Two political interactions via social media.  The first one was around this meme... I took issue with this meme.  It's theme, in my opinion, is democrats are violent and do not practice tolerance.  Since we do not know that any of those involved in the protest are out there preaching about tolerance, I feel like it's … [Read more...]
