Thoughts on time and simplifying schedules
Each day, I get a daily email from the website DailyOM. Sometimes the topic speaks to me; other times I see the subject line/title of the post and I know it’s not for me and I delete it. Last week, I got an email with the subject line “Simplify your schedule.” I couldn’t read it [...]
It’s ok to change. Really, it is.
I was inspired by a member of my Facebook fitness/wellness group to write about this topic. I know that I have changed quite a bit as a person in the last 10+ years. Now, while I don’t think I’ve changed at the very core of myself (i.e., I’m still a good person with morals and [...]
Getting out of a rut
Are you a creative person? Have you gotten into a rut with whatever way you execute your creativity? I can answer yes to both, but here’s the thing—I’m feeling inspired to be creative and write these days and there’s a big idea brewing in my head that will help with that desire to write. I’m [...]
Rethinking self-care
Rather than explain my lengthy blogging hiatus in its own post, I’ll tell you that writing was not a priority over the summer, then I hurt my back early in the fall, so the blog took an even bigger back seat in my life due to that. Now that we’ve covered that, this article on [...]

Change is good
It’s time for a change—to my blog, that is. I miss writing on a more regular basis and particularly miss writing for me. I’ve been in a bit of a funk and realized that changing up my blog was something that could help. But what should I write about? Does anyone care what I have [...]
Looking ahead…..
Instead of looking back on 2016, a year that was busy for our family and definitely had its ups and downs, I want to look ahead to how I can make my 2017 better. Sure, some things are out of my control. Life happens and we can't control it all, as much as we'd like [...]
What I’ve Learned During My Blogging Hiatus
Wow! It's been a while since I've published a blog post. I miss writing for me and really hope I can get back to blogging, but let's back up a bit and you'll see why I haven't written. 2016 has been a busy year. I changed jobs last December, my husband's role at his company changed in January [...]
Yes, kids grow up too fast, but…..
They can be a lot of fun when they are older. My boys both have birthdays next month and my oldest will be 12 and my youngest will be 9. I sometimes wonder where the time has gone, but they are at ages now that are fun. They can joke, they are pretty self-sufficient (I [...]
