This energy has been in my field a lot lately, so buckle in for storytime. 😂 [Names & identifying factors have been changed/hidden to protect the guilty besides me & mine.] On Saturday, some friends came over for a li’l half-birthday/birthday gathering in my backyard.* It had been raining that day, but we managed to cozy up with our propane heaters, blankets, yummies, and fun conversation. At one point, we had a good laugh at me saying, “Remember when the Internet was new?” I’d said it because I had an anecdote about when we were in…

Earlier today I caught wind of the social media trend du jour: It’s National Siblings Day. And I took pause. This pause feels familiar (no pun intended), because it’s something I’ve felt often. Like a vague shortness of breath, a faint fear of speaking up because I’m afraid my truth will ruffle feathers or hurt people unnecessarily. It’s a feeling that gets caught in my throat, and as I lean in to this, I realize . . . I can’t be the only one who experiences this. It’s probably just that…

Today I heard a woman named Kristin Sweeting Morelli say something that rocked my world. “Shame can only live in darkness.” She said it in the context of people — of women in particular — keeping to themselves the things they were most ashamed of about themselves and their experiences, whether they were at fault or not. Shame doesn’t belong only to the miscreants, the cheaters, the liars, the politicians. Everyone carries shame about something in their lives, and in our world today, women feel shame surrounding so much. Shame for being fat. For being old. For being educated. For…

[repost] 13 things mentally strong people don’t do

posted on : 18 November, 2013 0 Comment

Howdy, everyone! My personal trainer posted this Lifehack.org article to Facebook today, and I wanted to share. 🙂 Mentally strong people have healthy habits. They manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in ways that set them up for success in life. Check out these things that mentally strong people don’t do so that you too can become more mentally strong. 1. They Don’t Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves Mentally strong people don’t sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life and…

I’m so excited to be back on the blog! I’ve been invited to speak at a local women’s networking Meetup in the coming months on this very topic, blogging, and I realized I actually have no real right to be teaching this if I’m not actually doing it (duh). My friend and mentor Kris Britton posted this quote image to Facebook the other day, and I made it the homescreen on my iPhone. To be fair, I am an active blogger for two different businesses (not mine), however, I think I need to place a higher…

[rant] did i express a need or a desire?

posted on : 13 August, 2013 0 Comment

I’ve been eager to address this issue on my blog for a while . . . With travel in July and then an absolutely transformative extended weekend “spirit staycation” in Schaumburg at Tony Robbins’s legendary Unleash the Power Within seminar that then set dynamite to so much of my life, it’s taken me this long to truly get settled back into the everyday of normal life.
