Knowing is 1/2 the battle ☔
Knowing is half the battle. But what about the other half? You hear it's going to rain, so you throw an umbrella in the car. It's going to be hot, so you fill up an extra water bottle. You know a birthday is coming up, so you [...]
Spring and Snow
Spring has Sprung Well, it's trying to. Colorado is known for its Rocky Mountains, 300+ days of sunshine a year, and all-over-the-place-changing weather. Currently, I have a snow covered yard and brightly colored spring bulbs popping up. And, these bulbs weather the storms. They use the winter [...]
Keep your Cool 😨
Are you ever a bull in a China shop? I have the privilege of volunteering in a few classrooms, and teach through a program called YMCA's Project Cornerstone. Recently in classes, I read the book Clovis Keeps His Cool by Katelyn Aronson. Here's a link to the video read-aloud if you're interested.
Beauty Exists in Shadows
Recently, I was caught driving toward the middle of a beautiful mountain ranges. To my left, a snow kissed mountain range was subdued, sitting in the shadows. To my right, a snow kissed mountain range was bright, absorbing the sunshine. Both mountain ranges were equally beautiful and majestic. Both coexisted, and both created beauty.
Pick a word
I hold philosophy that each day I am gifted a new 24 hours, and I can use that to the best of my ability. Rather than resolutions, I choose ONE WORD that I'd like to hold close each day, and live by for the year. This is [...]
Those lemons!!😶
Recently at bedtime, my 4-year old daughter and I had a conversation. Here's how it went: Kenzie: Hey Mama, hold these. (she gave me something imaginary in each of my hands) Me: What did you give me? K: Lemons. Now, make a fist and squeeze them hard. [...]
Gobble gobble!
I love Thanksgiving. I love spending time with loved ones. I love opening up our table to people who need a chair. I love cooking, I love eating, I love the smells. I even love the thrill of getting everything out of the oven at the same [...]
Change is on the Horizon
Change is occurring all around. The time. The leaves. The weather. The seasons. The attire. I love this time of year. It has always been my favorite. It's the time of letting go - the time of change. We experienced a 60 degree shift in temperature from [...]
Enough is enough
WHAT IS ENOUGH? Enough, what it is and what it means, has been coming up in conversations around me. The questions sound like: When do I know I have enough (money, happiness, success)? How do I know that I am enough (of a spouse, parent, professional, friend)? [...]
Make Transitions Easier
What makes transitions easier? It's the time of transitions - summer is ending, more people are on the roads in the mornings/afternoons during commute time, and the school bells are ringing. When life is in transition, what makes it easier? Preparation. Time management. Routines. Expectations (solid vs. [...]

I’m rubber, you’re glue.
Do you remember the playground saying: I'm rubber, you're glue; Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you! I recently ran across a Brené Brown quote that takes this playground saying and classes it up a bit, making it easier to understand as an adult. [...]
