That’s Just Life – Page 2

Life Can Be Challenging

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…

Feeling Trapped?

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…

Defining Freedom

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…

Waking Up and Enjoying Life…Is It Enough?

I shared this on Facebook a while back and wanted to share it here…kind of as a way of reminding myself that it is enough…reminding myself I have much to be grateful for…and perhaps a message for you… Yes, I’m reading Brene Brown and doing her course on Udemy. I…

Be Open to the Possibilities of Kindness when Discussing Politics

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…

The Art of Receiving

If you are not familiar with Mama Gena, she’s a must-check-out resource! She has this amazing perspective on all things womanly. In a recent post, she covers the topic of our ability to receive…or should I say lack of ability. We as women particularly have been taught to “move to…

Even the Biggest Moments Fade Away

Stevie Nicks is one of my favorite artists of all times. She’s practiced a daily ritual of writing every single day since she was 15 years old because, in her words, even the biggest moments fade if you don’t. I’m 49 now and I find myself wishing I’d documented more…

Standing in My Power

When I was in my early 20s, I worked for a major company in the Minneapolis, MN area. I had worked there for about 5 years and worked my way up the ladder during that time. I loved my job and thought I had a career in the making. The…

Celebrating the Energy of the Moon

I was invited to have a conversation with Bridgette Doerr, of Inspire Her Fire and Fairy Grasshopper, around moon energy and how it impacts my life. We didn’t really know each other prior to the call but found we had a fair amount in common and I had a blast…

You’re Only Manipulating Yourself

I have watched this video, although it’s a bit long, twice now. I doubt it’s the last time I’ll watch it. The content in here is powerful! A couple of my favorite takeaways are the reminder that we have information inside of us worthy of tapping into. We do not…

Don’t Let Go of What Matters Most

In my quest for a simpler life, and as a result of my choices, a more joyful life; I’ve gotten rid of a lot of “things.” I blogged about my process here over the last year or so on a handful of occasions. It’s been an interesting process in…
