The Blog
Absent
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 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…
Creating Etsy Success
As you may have noticed we’ve added products on our website here. These are available through our brand new Etsy store. We’ll be adding more products as we go so keep checking back for more great offerings. I always like to share what I learn so here’s a link to…
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…
