Let me take a breath, and then keep going.   I did something I haven’t done in so long; I literally can’t even remember when I sat for an extended amount of time on my couch. An old habit of mine. I like being busy. I’m a single mom with three kids, a house and…

Finding my tribe I had something else planned to post today, but I was so inspired I decided to write this, staying true to my authentic self. I’ve been on my own for five years, and I hadn’t had many single friends during the entire time. It’s been a little lonely, to say the least….

“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…

  By the time I got married, my dad had been gone two years. My mother (who had nearly lost her life during heart surgery, just a few months before) danced with me at my wedding to this song… “I hope you dance”. It’s still so very emotional 22 years later, for new reasons as…

A few weeks back two clients of mine told me I was glowing. And then the other day, someone I’m still friendly with from high school sent me a message and told me how happy I looked. It feels really good to hear – not your typical “are you sick” after encountering your non-makeup face….

We are day two into a new month, and nearly halfway through the year.   What kind of feeling does that evoke in you?   Summertime gives me all these exciting feels. I’m wondering if I can bottle that energy into words, and have it make sense. Sometimes there is nothing sexier than a hot…

  You know you’re going to have a good week when you get your Brazilian wax and your hair done in the same week – it’s fire.   I left my wax girl a Google Review, who does that?   But you know what – she’s a kind soul. Who else would I want to…

Hello loves!   Are you ready for a data dump – I’ve got a lot.   Just five years ago, I don’t think I imagined having my ex-husband and his wife over for family dinner, but here we are. I didn’t quite picture this family dynamic, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I am…
