Movement
No matter what is going on in my life, I know without a shadow of a doubt that movement is what I need. Hiking, dancing, walking. There are dozens of things I can do depending on the mood. And if the last thing I want to do is move, that is my que that it is exactly...
Tired
Some days you feel a bone-tired, soul-tired, heart-tired kind of exhaustion. Those days require a little more love than others. That could be from your partner, from your God or, honestly, from yourself. And that is ok! Acknowledging what you need and asking for it is...
Play
There is no other way to try something new than to just try it! And if you are going to go to all that effort, why not make it fun? Experiment! Test the variables! PLAY WITH IT! I guarantee that whatever your objective, the journey will be more enjoyable if you learn...
Bring on the Struggle
If every time you struggled that meant failure, you would never try anything new. I find it is often the exact opposite. The struggle comes right before the win. It is the moment where you have to dig in deep and decide if this is what you truly want. Struggle isn't a...

Maybe it is just because I really wanted to stay snuggled up with my puppies in the blankets this morning in my bed. But it's true! Look at this word… bed …it is all nicely bookended with posts and comfy curves in the middle. If I was the napping kind, I would see a...
You wash!
One of my favorite memories from my childhood was making mud pies and pouring mud tea in the messy garden with my little sister. My Mom tells a story about how my Dad came home and saw his two girls covered in this mud and he stomps in like he thought she didn't know...
What do you value?
I love this quote so much! The one resource we have that we can't renew is time. Once it is gone it is gone forever. This moment is all we have! The best part is that what you choose as time well spent is 100% up to you. It could be an hour in silence on the back...
Keep Hiking
I watched my Dad wither away into a shell of the man he was. He retired, was sick for a while, and then never got back to the tinkering, always moving guy he used to be. He got a nice recliner and all his favorite things in one place so there wasn't much need to go...
Change Your Mind
Just because you studied to be an accountant and that is what you have been doing for the last 10 years literally means NOTHING to your future. That is about who you were. And who you were taught you so much about yourself and what you don't want your life to look...
Believe it is Possible
For years and years, everyone believed that it was impossible to run a mile in under 4 minutes. No one had ever done it and even the fastest athletes who tried believed it to be impossible. That was until Roger Bannister did it in 1954. He made breaking that barrier...
