If you had asked me two years ago who I would be surrounded by today, I wouldn’t have believed you. The toughest part was going through the “being alone” part. Being left totally alone to sit still in the silence…and find myself again.   If you caught the blog last week – I talked about…

Here we are the start of a new month, and many new beginnings! As we turn the page on the calendar and the mornings might start getting a little cooler, the leaves begin to change and fall – it’s truly nature that shows us how good it is for us to let go.   I…

“I know you thought the breaking was the most painful chapter. It wasn’t. Turn the page. The next part is much longer. It’s the healing. The rise. The comeback. It’s the birth of the new you. And it’s not easy. But you are strong, brave, and worth it.” – Stephanie Bennett-Henry   Be the Pineapple…

I didn’t write much this week – is it the feeling of overwhelm? Busyness? Do we feel overwhelmed because we have too much going on…or is that just life and that feeling comes from not doing the things that make me feel “alive” enough? I went for a short stint in my kayak this morning…

“Are you mad at me?” was a sentence that lived in my everyday vocabulary. I can’t remember the last time I used it – until the other day (and I reset myself right back to where I should be).   The longer we stand alone, the more truth we see.     We’re always attracted…

I took this picture just about a year ago, and posted it on the Internet for all to see.   I was at the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life – and you know what? I was the most confident I had ever been in my body. Weird.   I’m not saying you need…

You are in charge of your own happiness. Only you.   In the last few weeks in the podcast, Julie and I have talked a lot about taking responsibility for yourself and navigating into new beginnings.   One of the things that was a struggle for me in the beginning of my journey (and sometimes…
