Here and Now

When I was a kid, right after the days of having to bike to school downhill both ways (true story), I would have to wake early enough to feed our baby calves, cats, and dog before boarding the school bus. It made for early mornings since we were the first stop on the bus route, […]

Hug It Out

Hey, hey! Happy July! Where is this year going? Can you believe it’s more than half over already? Yeah, me either. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. I found myself with SOOOOOO many things to be grateful for and celebrate this past week. Freedom (especially inner freedom) is such a sweet, sweet thing! Perhaps […]

The Power of Creation

Hello there! I am excited about this week’s topic as it ties into part of a presentation I attended last week. If you were asked what the best things in life are, what would be your answer? Would it be your house, your car, or the latest and greatest gaming console? What I hear most […]

Just Do It

Hi friends! I assure you this is not a Nike commercial. I do hope it will be a pump you up, believe in yourself, dream big, go crush your most audacious-brazen-bold-outrageous aspirations in the whole wide world pep talk though! Moving into this week’s topic we’re going to chat about how the hardest things to […]

Exiting Repeat Patterns

Hello!   This past weekend was an interesting, weather filled one.  We saw tornadic activity Sunday which hit a mile away from home.  Luckily it was far enough away to not have property damage.  We were trying to make our way home as the storm moved in, driving directly into the storm’s path.  The further away […]

Did Someone Say Cake?

Greetings! The turn in seasons has brought some wonderful weather for grilling which opens up an entirely different menu regime in our household. I even tried a new vegan, gluten free carrot cake over the weekend which was so divine! It seems like a wonderful time to talk about food. This post’s topic is pretty […]

Work Smarter, Not Harder

If there was a way to get the results you wanted with far less work, would you continue on the grind the long, hard way or would you try something simpler? I think we all would sign up for freeing up some time and energy if we could find an effective way to do so. […]

It’s so Elementary

Hi there! This blog has been challenging to get started. I have started, deleted, restarted, deleted… Therefore, I’m diving right in to the point with this one. This week brings us to my mantra to never stop learning. I have learned more from self education than from any education (or degree) I’ve ever purchased. On […]

What Do You Know?

Does this title feel like a loaded question?  I promise I am not testing your IQ , EQ (emotional intelligence), or  any other level of knowingness!  Instead we are going to examine how you don’t know what you don’t know until you know, ya know?  Whether it’s been the discovery of a fun kitchen gadget […]

Give It Your All

Hello there! Lets start this week off with a little riddle. What do you call a pig that does karate? (Scroll to the end for the answer.) Pigs are cute but have absolutely nothing to do with this week’s topic. Unless the pig is giving it’s very best effort at karate. As I mentioned last […]
