Today’s wisdom comes to you again from nature… not surprising, right?! The tree is a marvelous structure providing shade, wood, a home to wildlife, sap, and fruit. It has a lot of jobs to complete in its long life, and interestingly it doesn’t do them all at the same time. We can’t utilize its sap […]

Recalibration
You can’t pour from an empty cup. Travis has been home for nearly five months. Time is intangible, it seems like he’s been home for merely weeks and that he never actually left all at the same time. Relationships work really well when you both are able to pour into it rather than need something […]
Winter Is Coming!
I know, it’s finally spring!!! The birds, the sun, the fresh air, the rain showers, green grass, flower blossoms! All of the physical signs of growth, renewal, and flourishing…it’s a BEAUTIFUL playground of deliciousness outside! While the season of winter–the one containing snow, ice, plummeting temperatures, and dormant plants–is behind us, we’re talking about winter […]
Worry Less, Live More
It’s 2:00 AM & I snap out of a deep sleep in an instant… Heart racing, sweating, laying on the floor with my feet propped up on the side of the bed attempting to keep from fainting. At just 21 years old. Had the years of an eating disorder finally taken a toll on my […]
Hansel & Gretel
What was your favorite story as a child? Snow White? Cinderella? Jack & Jill? Jack & the Bean Stalk? I was captivated by Hansel & Gretel as a kid although I don’t ever remember asking for the story to be read to me. What I do remember is staring at the illustrations in the book, […]

I Am My IDENTITY
Be careful and intentional with your words! This blog is short today, but you know my theory with the short posts: keep it short yet potent. Put this knowledge to practice and you will see mountains move in your capacity for self-love! We often think and say “I am ____________” which is adopting that description […]
Second Nature Yet Foreign
Hand in hand, just as we departed ways 11 months earlier, we reconnected. Travis has been home for nearly six weeks! We celebrated our anniversary TOGETHER and shared Christmas with family. Seeing my family reconnect and embrace him was purely bliss! But getting to our family’s reunification was a long and tumultuous path. I never […]
The Law of Divine Oneness
It took me too many years to come to learn about universal laws. Forty-too-many years if I’m being honest! These laws are based upon nature and allow us to live in harmony with the world around us. Once I learned these laws and deeply engrained them into my belief system, things in my life began […]
