Only 4 short weeks and within the last 12 years ago, I would have rather eaten a pair of Reebok Pumps than cook. I didn’t want to stand on my feet in front of a stove. I didn’t want to expend the brain power necessary for meal planning. I certainly didn’t want to go toContinue reading “Cooking With Love”

Slow Down Vibes
I can slow down. I can actually enjoy the process involved in completing a task at hand. What does that even mean? Let me tell you how much I have had to think on that one and get it straight in my head. It’s not how I have been programmed. It is not my usualContinue reading “Slow Down Vibes”
The Evolution: One Month In
The Evolution has begun, and I am one month in…without a post. I suck at this, but I’m learning. Let’s catch up first, then I’ll share the struggle… I spent the first week of March traveling, which was glorious. My son, Blake, and I made it to Utah and hiked The Narrows in Zion NationalContinue reading “The Evolution: One Month In”

Maybe so. IContinue reading “Just do.”

Selfish (In A Good Way) & Not Alone
When you embark upon a mission of self awareness, you have to get really selfish (in a good way). That was not easy for me. I give to people. I overextend myself to make other people happy. I worry and lose sleep to ensure what I’m doing for others is top-notch. I feel other people’s pains and tend to wantContinue reading “Selfish (In A Good Way) & Not Alone”
Evolve.
January is over. By now, most of us have learned to write “2024” consistently without having to go back and scratch through the “2023” we clumsily wrote by mistake. I’m not even continually hearing reflections on 2023, what a good year it was, how rough it was. We can mark it as a year in history now. It’s over.Continue reading “Evolve.”
