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

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)? [...]

Like a River
Recently, my family took a hike to a local Colorado state park. This particular hiking spot was a dam that is now a broken, and it's flowing! With all of the rain that we've had recently, a sizeable river is rushing through with a mighty force. In [...]
Saying I’m sorry

Here's a formula for giving an apology and repairing, with kudos to @sylviaduckwort. Using this as a framework can help strengthen your relationships with others, and with yourself. P.S. [...]
Change is a Catalyst
Peter Walsh, best selling author said: "What I know for sure is that when your declutter - whether it's your home, your head, or your heart - it is astounding what will flow into that space that will enrich you, your life, and your family." My progression [...]
This is a tough one
Fears. This is a tough one. I went to bed last night afraid, and woke up this morning in fear. You see, my husband is a high-school teacher in Aurora, Colorado. And, some days I'm afraid when he goes to work. He serves a community and student [...]
Morning Crankies
This morning, I had a case of the morning crankies. I wanted some moments to myself - drink my coffee, feed the animals - prior to the 'get up and get to school routine'. What I wanted and had planned for, didn't happen. Kids up early, pets [...]
