Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects
You guys…what a day. I’m a bit vulnerable and a lot exhausted. With emotions bubbling at the edge. Our evening was a bit of a tough one for several reasons. And I don’t have it in me today to spend the time I usually do writing and editing, and editing and rewriting. And writing some more. But I’ve […]
Have you heard that phrase before? “No is a complete sentence.” Holy crap. This is revolutionary. Seriously. Try it. No. See? One word. One complete sentence. No. No. No. No. And it works? Yes, it works. Here’s the thing, as I get older, it becomes more clear to me, I need to live my life […]
Here we are, day ten of NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), in which I am attempting to write and publish a blog post every single day, for the month of November. Whoa. It’s tough, I tell you. To think of topics to write on every day, and then to have the courage and gumption to […]
Last night, I fulfilled one of my bucket list items: seeing Garth Brooks in concert. And it was beyond what I’d heard and hoped it would be. This guy puts on a fantastic show and I was thrilled to be able to finally see him live, with a couple of my best girls. I’ve seen several […]

There I was, sitting on the couch, under the weather and wearing my cranky pants, and unintentionally scrolling through my Facebook feed when I came upon it. It stopped me and my […]
You’ve heard that question before, what would you do if you weren’t afraid? Have you ever answered this question? Or were you afraid to? Okay, so that was kind of a ‘funny’, but it’s actually a truth for me. I’ve been afraid to answer this question in the past, because somehow, when I start making the […]
How often do you let what others think, get in the way of honoring your authentic self? Last weekend, I spent both days at my son’s swim meet. Donning a t-shirt with his swim club’s name on it and leggings, I was ready to loudly cheer him on. As I got dressed that morning, I thought to myself […]
Last night was the first Halloween in which I didn’t walk door to door with my son. I didn’t give it much thought before hand, but I knew it was likely he’d ditch me for running around with the neighbor boys. He’s twelve after all, finally ‘a man’, and I’m totally uncool…according to him […]
