I've been creating new habits for myself lately that bring a smile to my face. Ones that remind me of how incredible life is, and keep me rooted in gratitude. Habits such as climbing up on the roof of our RV to enjoy the sunsets and the stars here in Arizona.

This is a photo of my best friend, the one that cancer took from us in 2021. I will also say that this is not the first or even the 20th+ time that this photo has popped up at times when I was feeling low and needed to feel less alone.

It's been a year, maybe even two since cancer took the person you love. The veil that has kept you apart from everyone around you is finally starting to thin and the light is beginning to come through.

I lost both my father and one of my best friend's to cancer, and as anyone who has watched a loved one die from this disease knows, there are three distinct stages that make up your life experience with them that will always be a part of your reality moving forward.

Today is the day I finally do ___________. How will you finish that sentence?

In what ways are you choosing to stay small in your life?

Perfectionists and people pleasers have a difficult time letting peace into their lives. They often have to remove themselves from the vicinity of others so they can stop worrying about what everyone else needs or thinks about what they are doing (or not doing).

As a white individual, have you asked yourself this question lately? "Am I anti-racist?"

In order to create better connections with the people around us, we first need to be capable of knowing who WE are inherently. How we feel what we want and what we hold most dear and important in our lives.

This is a small reminder for your week that there is no such thing as perfect. It is a subjective target.

I don't know about you, but I have to remind myself daily that I have bigger things to do than focus on what I fear others are saying about me.

As the week comes to a close I am curious what happened this week that was meaningful to you?

2024 - The Year of positive Baby Steps. I am equiped for this year’s trip around the sun with…

This time of year people are always talking about their goals and doing things to improve themselves...to be "better". My question to you is, does your desire to be better initiate from a place of self-judgement or are you embarking on this journey out of love of yourself?

Today for me is about GRATITUDE.

January 1, is the day when I make a moment for focusing and visualizing what I want my year ahead to look like. This year, I am more grateful than ever that I have the luxury of being able to do this for myself.

The idea of mindfulness has become a very popular topic, and THAT is a wonderful thing for humanity in general, because it is allowing us to learn how to be present in the moment we are currently in…

When you wake up in the morning and start thinking about what is on your schedule, I'm curious...

What percentage of your day is focused on you?

You've probably heard the old question, "If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?"

To my fellow people pleasers... I hit a wall this weekend, and it made me want to put out a question to you all.

How much do you struggle with allowing yourself time to be happy when everyone around you is going through hard times?
