Story time! I recently had my 19th wedding anniversary. And I have to admit that I actually FORGOT.  And it’s not the first time that I forgot, sorry to say. Honestly, it’s embarrassing. And it won’t happen again because my husband invited me to his calendar reminder, so that now we will BOTH be reminded […]

I bet you’ve heard time and time again how crucial self-awareness is for growth. But what is it? At its core, self-awareness is simply knowing yourself. Your personality, your strengths, your weaknesses, and your beliefs. So we can say it’s the ability to look at yourself honestly and openly, without judgment, and recognize where you […]

I hope you’ve got your coffee (or your water) and your thick skin today. We’re diving into something that might feel like a punch in the gut — it certainly did for me while I was writing my notes. Let me start off by saying that I love you. Today’s message is said in nothing […]

Change can be hard. I’m not telling you anything new. At some point, we’ve all been forced to deal with a sudden change, one we didn’t WANT or asked for. Life was going great, and then suddenly, things changed. In a split second, a chapter in your life that you were REALLY ENJOYING ended — […]

I have covered this topic before, but have had some epiphanies over the last couple of months that have elevated my thinking about this whole thing. This is where I have to […]

We have all started something that we didn’t finish. I’ve got a lengthy list of my own. Dear Lord knows I’ve got a BIG OLE list of my own. In college, I thought it would be so fun to learn to play the guitar. I saw other people playing the guitar. It looked SO fun. […]

Back when my daughter was learning to ride her bike, we gave her everything she needed. The right bike, a helmet, a safe space, and plenty of coaching. One time, we were with her for two hours, and everything was going great. So we decided to up the ante a bit — we went to […]

How do we face situations that are so far outside our control they’d make anyone’s head spin?  I recently had a conversation with a friend that has stuck with me.
