Engage! My full New Year’s resolution is engage with effective boundaries and communication. I tied in my word of the year with one focused resolution this year. My word for 2019 and 2020 were focus and live. What a wild ride 2020 has been. It taught me so much. Here are 10 lessons I learned. Nothing is a […]
It’s not about everyone else and it never will be
The world around you isn’t holding you back; you are holding yourself back.
First podcast episode is done!
I can’t believe I published my first podcast. I actually did it last night. I have edited it a little since I first published it, but I am just happy that it is out there for the world to listen to it. Now, I just need to organize my podcast schedule along with my social media schedule in […]
Time to let my hair down
Life has a funny way sometimes of just knocking you over. When I think back to the last few months, I have definitely been on a journey. Over this past summer, I was getting up pretty regularly to run in the morning around 5 am. I felt like my energy level was pretty high, and I was really […]
Breath of fresh air
I just read this article and it is a breath of fresh air. I kind of get into a “must plan everything mode” and it can be exhausting. This article helps to remind me that kids aren’t looking for the perfect craft. My oldest son loves the Brain Quest books I gave him and actually asked if he […]

Almost to 2018
Every year it seems I say that I can’t believe the year is almost over. Well, it has in many ways felt like a year has gone by but it also feels like it went by very quickly all at the same time. I am thankful for a lot in 2017. Family and friends make this year and […]

I love this time of the year but it can be stressful. We have had a lot of people over and hosted a holiday party. We are on the go most of the time, and when we aren’t, things are still busy. Also, I have had some job interviews which adds some fun stress into the mix. Of […]
Happy Friday!
Every Friday for almost five years I have been posting happy Friday photos on my social networks. It is easy to do, and a fun way to kick off the weekend. Every once in a while, I think about how my Friday posts originated. My oldest son was born on a Friday. I started off posting happy Friday, […]
