One of my favorite shows to watch is The Amazing Race. The current season has been interesting to watch- more than usual- because it was filmed back in 2018! No masks! Crowds! It was jarring to me to see it and to realize that we have a new normal. It was the same way I … Continued
I am doing both this month! Refine- means to remove impurities or unwanted elements from something. It also means to improve something by making small changes. Some of the words associated with refine are purify, clarify, clear and cleanse. There isn’t a more perfect theme for October- especially in 2020! Especially for the start of … Continued

August is all about the YES in my world, and if you choose to follow along, you may never look at your “yeses” quite the same way again! I am also on month two of building resilience. When you say the right yeses for you, your resilience will build as you create more energy in your … Continued
Resilience is top of mind right now. On my mind because I chose the word as my theme for the month of July!

We made it to July! This first half of 2020 has been one for the books- for so many reasons, and I know you know them well! Resilience is my word for the second half of the year. To me, having resilience is me expanding my capacity to handle what comes my way with grace, … Continued
