Did you know it’s okay to keep using the same Christmas decor you’ve loved for 30 plus years? Nothing wrong with buying some new things if you truly want to but it’s also nice to experience the memories of things through the years. It’s okay to not give in to any pressure to go out [...]

It’s okay to keep resting
Is anyone else confused about what day it is? Is the pressure of the New Year starting to creep up on you? Do you wish you had gotten more done or that you were in a different place altogether? Did you know that it's okay to keep resting? Sometimes beginning from a place of being [...]
On the 12th Day of Christmas…Merry Christmas!
While we look at the sweet image on a Christmas card and remember that Jesus came as a little babe in a manger, that is NOT who Jesus is anymore! The little frail baby or maybe you remember Him as the frail, broken, and bruised man on the cross, but while that was Him that [...]
On the 11th Day of Christmas!
On the 11th Day of Christmas... LOVE lets everyone else be... One of the most profound things I learned from my own coach is the truth that EXPECTATIONS are just pre-meditated RESENTMENTS!

On the 5th Day of Christmas!
On the 5th Day of Christmas... Make some time for FUN (whatever that means to you!) I’ve personally never thought of myself as a very “fun” person. In fact, those peeps that seem to exude ENERGY make me a little nervous But I’ve come to accept that “fun” is relative. It doesn’t mean I have [...]

On the 4th Day of Christmas... Get outside! Even if it’s freezing! It’s incredible how just simply getting outdoors, breathing in the crisp cool air, and going for a quick walk can help to RESET your brain.
