Two Coffees
Sometimes the day requires two coffees. Today is that day! I would say TGIF, but I'm a Realtor so that seems to be irrelevant. Two coffees it is. Maybe three. We'll just have to see how this day goes. Happy Friday Friends! #fridayfunny #twocoffees #kindnessalways...
Life Is Better
Emotions are something I have kept close. I was ruled by things I have heard over the years like… Never let them see you cry. Smile through it. Stop advertising your feelings. While I still don't gush, I have learned that me being open and honest with the happiness...
Learning To Surf
There for a little while I thought I would drown in it. I've experienced a tremendous amount of loss in my life, but this one shook me in a way that I hadn't anticipated. There are daily routines built around my relationship with my mother. Every day, when that moment...
Sunsets

Surrender
Sometimes that is the only option. We have to let go and let the powers that be do what they do best. It is not up to us. It never was. We just lost sight of that. #surrender #lunchboxwisdoms #wendyswisdoms
Play. Laughter. Joy.
I was just talking to a friend who took her six year old to a hotel with a water park in it for her birthday. Both of them got to be silly and giggle the whole weekend. The joy radiating off her face talking about it reminded me how important it is to let ourselves...
None of it is true!
So many stressors lately. I think it would be nice to just sleep as long as I want. That escalates to I just need a few days of down time. Which then becomes my desire to just take a month off. And, if I'm not careful, burns into I don't want to do any of this at all...
Width and Depth
A young girl lost her battle with leukemia this past week, however, in her short life she was such a powerful force for good. Many people live their entire lives and never make the kind of impact she made in her few years. It isn't about how much time you have, but...
