The Sign
As I brush my teeth, I look at it. I have read it so many times I know it by heart, yet I read it twice a day. I remember the day my bestie gave it to me. I opened it, and my heart sang. It speaks to me. To the way, I operate – give it all and then some. Somedays,...
A New Kind of Freedom
Today I spent some time sitting by the water writing. It’s been a while for both, it has been months since I got to sit by the ocean, and for the writing part, I pick up my journal fairly often, yet these days I don’t usually write in it. A combination of nothing has...
Taking Stock…
For me, this brought up getting back to basics, back to the things that I let slide – I would like to say it happened when the kids were home from school
So different
This is a great time to get my blog up and running again. It has been my pattern that when things get tough, I retreat and I have been working really hard on not doing that. The reality – I let things go for many reasons and my blog – I got busy, it fell out of my...
Being ok with where you are
This has been the lesson I have had to learn in the last few years. I still don't really like it, yet it is now part of my life. In my dreams, I have surpassed where I am, I am speaking all around the continent, my businesses are more successful, I am the mom who...
Structure sets me free
It’s a rainy weekday morning, and I am having coffee on my deck. This is where I have my quiet time. During the week, I get up 30 minutes before the kids. I do it so I can have my time. It is crucial for me; it prepares me for the day. This week I had my boys. Even...
Change of Scenery is Magical!
Sometimes you just need to change it up. On Monday, I was sitting by a creek with lily pads and a duck coming over for a visit. I heard the birds and occasional splashes. I sat just listening and thinking for a while, getting some perspective and asking myself some...
Girl, you got this!
Last weekend I did something very out of my comfort zone. I spent four days at a country music festival. It was not something I would have chosen yet I did it anyway. My good friend was getting married on stage Saturday night. She is dear to my heart, so much I made...
The Woohoo
All week I have had this blog post on my mind, about getting it “right.” I realize that there is no right with this – it is a personal thing. What I am talking about is what my tribe and I call the woohoo. The unknown yet known; the forces we can't describe, however...
Sometimes you need pompoms
Last week was a long week; a midnight trip to the ER with my youngest – he has a broken wrist. My dear friend Annie let go and left this lifetime. It was the first week without my kids. Plus working, making my house mine, and Friday BBQing 500 hot dogs at the boys’...
