I have felt sadness lately. On Monday one of my girlfriends messaged me to let me know that a woman that we both follow via social media died. As soon as I read her message I felt the sudden punch of shock. I was first introduced to this women through her father, John Wineland, who…

Year of You
I am a few hours away from what I call the year of you. This journey I am about to embark on has officially been nine months in the making, unofficially four years in the making and in reality it has taken the span of my life to date. Every aspect of myself and life…
Desired Horizons
“I’m not happy with work.” “I’ve been thinking about moving.” These quotes are a tiny sample of what people have shared with me after I told them I am leaving. I wonder, if everyone in my life is in the same place as me? Or is my truth creating space for others to share their…
I’m Thankful for: Courage

Mindful Monday #99 – Not Afraid

Facing Your Fears Can Be Isolating
I will be headed out of town for work in a few days. I have a lot to do to prepare for my trips, yet I sit and write. I am writing because I need to. I’ve been having trouble writing these past few weeks and I don’t know why? As I caught up with…
The Road Less Traveled
As my month of writing approached last year, I said to the universe that I wanted to let go of anything and everything that wasn’t working for me. Letting go to that extreme, on top of a leap of faith, is a very powerful mixture. Be warned if you in anyway feel inspired to go…
