Spring

Today is the first day of spring, and I spent most of the day inside a hotel at a conference in Indy, so I have no idea what the weather is like. While I’m pretty content year-round, and I obviously love the other seasons for what they offer, the spring is special and always has […]

Paths & Thoughts

I came across both of these today in my fb feed; both ring so true in my own life that I just had to share. My path in life has always been filled and continues to be filled with ALL of the right people. I am so blessed and grateful! Thoughts of loveliness, I love […]

One Body

I have been working on the following post for a good while. It’s a pretty hard one because it links lots of experiences related to my body and how I’ve (mis) treated it. I went to the doctor earlier this week for a check-up. I love knowing my blood pressure and it was perfect 124/70 […]

A Mighty Girl

In honor of Women’s History Month, it seems fitting to use the blog to post about women we may not know but should. Years ago, someone gave me a shirt with this quote on it…and I recognize its enactment in my own life. Post by A Mighty Girl.

I was reminded that while the internet (and social media) can be used in very positive, […]

Compassion

Brené Brown On Self-Criticism, Judgment And The Power Of Compassion Being vulnerable doesn’t just require courage and self-confidence. It requires self-compassion.  

Day 45: Taking a Leap of Faith (1/2 Way Point)

Lots of things have come together for me this week, and today’s post seems like just the day to write about what I’ve been thinking and learning about. This week I have been thinking lots about fear, anxiety, and control. I have never considered myself a fearful or nervous person. I think most people who […]

Passion

Two things I think about on almost a daily basis. The passion one is hard because people don’t always understand it. But my passion for family, friends, students, and life is who I am at the core. The times in my life where I have tried to repress my passion have been some of the […]
