Oh dear.  Life feels extra busy right now. (I may or may not be wearing a hat to hide my unwashed hair) I’m sure yours does too. (Your life is probably busy not your hair is dirty.) Does it ever really stop?  The busyness I mean. Brent is shooting a video for a publishing company. […]

A few years ago, Jennifer was a smoker, barely making more than minimum wage despite being college educated, and was more than 50 pounds overweight. But then…. Jennifer quit smoking, lost 50 pounds,  got a master’s degree in counseling and psychology and became a therapist. She recently got married and moved to New York with her […]

Saturday morning, my family and I sat around the breakfast table.  Rather than attack our “to-do” list that is the length of all of our arms combined (I’ll explain later why it is so long.) we ended up procrastinating enjoying each other’s company and making a family “bucket list”. 10 Things: Our Family Bucket List […]

(Source) Intentional. I want my life to be intentional.  I’m a pretty simple person but I don’t want to wake up in 35 years only to realize that I never hoisted my sails.  I may not be able to control the wind (A realization that I’m still throwing a tantrum over.) but I can control […]

That’s a lot of alliteration. I had almost forgotten my little birthday present to myself that I have yet to “enjoy”. My  upcoming RKC certification.  I got an email from Dragon Door yesterday reminding me of the requirements.  Oh yes….those. Can I confess something? I’m nervous.  I was nervous for the one day HKC certification. […]
