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…
10 Minutes a Day with your Camera
If you really want to learn how to take better pictures, the only way to do this it to spend more time with your camera…with any camera. There are two aspects to photography. Art and science. The art piece is about being able to “see” a great photo opportunity and…
It’s a Big Sigh Kind of Day
Yes it is. I’m in the process of cleaning up some pieces of my business and that includes letting go of a few clients. Once I started the process a couple of others left as well…it happens when there’s a shift in energy and I embrace that change. While I…
The Lunch Tray Mishap
It was the beginning of 7th grade. I was at a new school with students from various elementary schools in the area. Luckily, I had a best friend so I was completely comfortable moving into this new environment – something that can be very difficult for me. We didn’t have…
My Word for the Year: Resiliency
For the last few years, I have chosen a word for the upcoming year. It’s usually a word that just comes to me and it’s used more as an intention than anything else. This year, I decided to take a different approach. I decided to pull an oracle card from…
Letting Go
In 2015, I joined a challenge (you can download the 2016 info here too) and committed to eliminating 2,015 items from my home. It was a big goal and not one I was sure I could meet. There were sheets we could print out and hang somewhere to both keep…
Honoring My Story
As I wrap up 2015, I’ve decided to participate in an ecourse called, Honoring Your Story. One large aspect of this course is journaling. I’ve decided to do that here, as a part of my blog. It seems like a great fit and it’s a good practice in sharing, even…
Creating a New Habit
A few years ago, I switched from being a total die-hard night owl who would have sworn up and down that was my natural state of being to a morning person, up around 4 or 4:30 am every morning during the week…a little later on the weekends. It was an…
Feeding My Soul is Part of My Budget
I used to feel travel was a luxury. It wasn’t something “normal” people got to do on a regular basis without going into debt or struggling in other areas of their finances. My soul told me something different. It said I needed to travel. It said it was an important…
Our Many Masks
When I was a young child, I would get excited about Halloween, choosing a costume and looking forward to dressing up to trick or treat. I have no memory of this nor do I remember getting sick every year right before the festivities and miss out, according to my mom.…
I Was Not and Am Not a Liar or a Thief
When I was in 4th grade, I had a teacher, Mrs. Moyer. She is one of the few teachers who’s name I remember…interestingly, I think I only remember the names of the ones who hurt or embarrassed me. One day, while I was working on my schoolwork at my desk,…
The Bullshit Whisperer – Applications Now Being Accepted
I told my husband I had given myself a new job title. I was going to be the Bullshit Whisperer. My “responsibilities” are to see bullshit, call to it, and turn it into truth. Now I don’t really think this is my responsibility…my only responsibility is to take care of…
