Make the Decision. Evolve.

I came up with a list of what I wanted out of “retirement” from dance studio ownership, and here I am doing things on my list:  leisurely drinking coffee and reading about wine at 11:00 am on a Monday. Yes. Among other things, leisurely drinking a cup of coffee AND reading AND learning about wineContinue reading “Make the Decision. Evolve.”

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.

Maybe so. IContinue reading “Just do.”

In our 25 years (come May 2024), I will have crossed off pretty much every item on my by-the-time-I’m-40 bucketContinue reading “Marry right.”

I Owe Myself An Apology, But…

I owe myself an apology… I apologize for disrespecting my body and not treating this wonderfully-created, miraculous vessel more kindly. I pushed it too hard, deprived it of sleep, and filled it with junk food more than I should have. I’m sorry for not safeguarding my heart more and better protecting my peace. I let my heartContinue reading “I Owe Myself An Apology, But…”
