STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
Who’s ready for some Spring cleaning?! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I know I am! But hey,  let’s go beyond just closets, shall we?  Time to revamp our whole lives. Here’s how I plan to tackle it: Drop the emotional baggage. Think of it as spring cleaning for the heart. Some of us hold onto old grudges and past…
Happy Spring! And now, a word about work, health, and that elusive balance we’re all chasing. Some days, I find myself rushing through my workday to wrap it up and get out the door. The gazillion emails, deadlines, and tasks that seem to multiply every time I check one off can all get pretty overwhelming….
“Here’s to strong women: May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” With Women’s History Month in full swing, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the incredible women in my life—those who stand beside me and those who live on in my heart, guiding me with the wisdom they left behind….
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, kicking off Lent for many Christians. It’s a time to slow down, reflect, and focus on growth as we get ready for Easter. Getting ashes on my forehead always reminds me that we’re just passing through. The phrase “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” might sound…
Migraines are such a pain in my… brain. They literally leave you feeling useless. I can’t function when I have one, and sleep is out of the question too. So, here I am, typing away while my brain tries to convince me that I’m worthless. That said, it’s moments like these that remind me how…
I’ve always prided myself on being the patient one. Unshakable calm. A Zen master. Seriously, I could wait forever—whether it was for a delayed flight or for a friend to finish telling me their entire life story (and I mean every detail). Patience’s been my superpower. But lately I’ve noticed my patience isn’t what it…
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow—how sweet. A day to celebrate love in all its forms, especially the kind that doesn’t rely on chocolates, flowers, or a fancy dinner. (Although, I wouldn’t mind those, especially the chocolate!) But shouldn’t that be every day? It should. But okay, tomorrow’s all about the little things that make love truly…
You know those friendships that last decades? The kind that feel like an old, worn-in sweater you pull out of your closet—familiar, reliable, and always there when you need it most? Let me tell you, in a world where people tend to come and go faster than the latest viral trend, these long-lasting bonds are…
Yesterday, I had in mind what I wanted to post about this morning. But life did what it tends to do. It threw a curveball. And now, it’s fitting I post about how fleeting life really is. It’s wild how quickly life can change. You’re here for a blink, then gone. We think we have…
Today’s post is dedicated to my partner in crime, “my ride or die.” Yesterday marked 37 years of marriage (and 41 together, but who’s counting?), and I couldn’t feel more blessed. Some days, it feels like a lifetime ago, and other days, it seems like just yesterday. Perspective on time can really feel crazy. One…
