    Mother Mother

      Mother mother I have no words. My heart is heavy. The whole thing hurts. Another senseless tragedy Broken hearts A grieving society. We claim to want to make a change. We want to see it stop. We scream out loud for gun control. We continue to watch our children drop. We offer prayers, condolences. We rant on public forums. We blame the gun, society, the shooter, mental health, lawmakers, congress, lack of discipline.. There’s never a decorum. With guns we defend our politicians, celebrities, banks, jewelry stores, sporting events, and homes. But then we’re quick to offer a solution by a sign that says “Gun Free Zone”. There is…

    Love the Skin You’re In: 30 Days to the Best Version of You

    What does it take to live and love from a place of worthiness?  How do we embrace imperfection? How do we cultivate what we need and let go of what’s holding us back? Owning our story can be difficult, but not as difficult as running from it. And often we fear we’re not worthy enough. I’ll be worthy if I lose 20 lbs. I’ll be worthy if I get that job. I’ll be worthy if I find the one. I’ll be worthy if I make x amount of money. I’ll be worthy if I look a certain way. I’ll be worthy if I have certain things. But how many of…

    Making Your Resolutions Stick in 2016

    It happens.  We vow to make each year better than our last.  We struggle through the holidays, eating one too many cookies, saying we’ll start in January.  So we join a gym.  We buy a Bow Flex.  We throw out the leftover cookies, candy, and buy fresh foods, new cook books, download an app or two and tell ourselves, “THIS IS THE YEAR!  NO MORE EXCUSES!” And what happens?  Come February we’re picking up takeout on the way home from work, contemplating cancelling that gym membership, and vowing to “restart” tomorrow… or next week… or next year. Let’s face it.  Life gets in the way.  Sticking to a plan is…

    Letter To My 22 Year Old Self

    I found a photo album the other day that was littered with pictures of my early twenties.  I had to sit for a while and really look through it.  Of course, I thumbed through slowly, laughed at a few things, remembered a few others, and reflected on some days where worries seemed few and late nights seemed many.  A lot, I mean A LOT has changed in 10 years.  I didn’t know the amazing man I would call my husband.  I thought having kids was not for me- ever.  I thought a good workout was a pub crawl on a Sunday afternoon, and the word responsible wasn’t something I would…
