It’s day 3 of my “rise and write” challenge. It’s a rainy morning, and here I sit with my blank page… I’ve been here for longer than usual (72 minutes so far). I had something typed out and I just went in and deleted it (I know I said I wasn’t going to do this) but I kept getting stuck …
Well, it’s Wednesday and day 2 of my “rise and write” project. I find myself sitting here again with a blank computer page wondering what I’ll write today. Mark made coffee again which may be my favorite part so far. It is a programmable coffee maker so I’m not sure what exactly stops me from setting it up the night …
I have a confession to make – I keep getting stuck. Every time I sit down to write my mind goes blank – even if I had a flood of idea just moments before. It’s like they all instantly vacate my brain and I can’t tap back into them. Even just this morning, I had ideas as I was walking …
Why is that decisions can feel so hard to make? One big reason is that we’re afraid of making the wrong one.

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you keep staying stuck in the same place? A lot of times we know the change we want to make, but every single time we try to make it happen, we get snapped back into our same old patterns. Change can be tough, and that’s okay, but when …
I have some really exciting news to share with you – Fertility Coaching is now available!!!

The more I learned about diet, lifestyle and mindset the more convinced I became that a holistic approach is exactly the way …
I hope you had a fabulous holiday weekend! I loved how terribly wrong the weather forecast was – pretty sure my iPhone had it wrong for every single day! It was all sunshine and blue skies out this way, how about you? I’ve missed connecting with you here lately, I’ve been putting more of my attention into writing a book. …
Recently I saw a post on social media by Glennon Doyle Melton – something along the lines of doing hard things. She had posted an image of packing lunches and talked about how this too can feel hard and it’s something that happens every day. YES!!! I thought, I love this. We forget that we do hard things every …
Do you ever feel stuck in your ways? Maybe you think about making changes in your life but then you think “this is just who I am.” So you keep going through the motions. You feel stuck in the life that you live and the person you’ve become. But guess what?! Life is fluid, you are fluid – you are allowed …
Inner peace comes from being secure in who we are. It requires forgiveness of everyone, including ourselves. Be generous with this gift. It requires acceptance that our scars will remain.
