Rx for the Soul

Newsbreak: Monday will be happening an hour earlier. We’re about to “spring forward” and we’re losing an hour of sleep! (Lord, I had just gotten used to this schedule 🥱). But as with any downside, there’s always an upside. And the silver lining here is more daylight. Raise your hand if you’re glad about that….

What’s your morning routine and schedule like? For me and Ray, our morning schedules have changed more times than I can count over the years. For the most part, we lived those grab your coffee and go mornings. But for some time now, our schedules have aligned. And that’s been such a gift. Somewhere along…

Some weeks gratitude comes easy. This week, it feels especially sacred, and a bit more personal. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and this year it fell on my mom’s birthday. Having it land on a day that reminds us how fragile and fleeting life is hit differently this time. It felt heavy, but also comforting in…

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to focus on flowers, cards, and all the pretty stuff. Wait, cards? Yes, that’s still a thing, people. Somewhere out there, someone is still standing in the greeting card aisle for 20 minutes, reading every single one like it’s a life-altering decision….

Did you notice that February this year has four full weeks? No extra days, just perfectly aligned weeks. For someone like me who loves order (okay, I’m OCD), that’s incredibly satisfying to see. A beautifully complete month. It made me think of that classic movie line, “You complete me.” 🤣 If only life were always…

Here’s some food for thought:  What if everything we work for had to be exchanged before we leave this world? “A man worked hard all his life and became one of the city’s biggest businessmen by age 50. One day, while traveling, he heard a spiritual talk show in which a saint said that no…

Today’s gratitude post is an easy one for me. Ray and I are celebrating 38 years of marriage. That’s 38 years filled with beautiful moments, some weathered seasons here and there, two wonderful kids, and a bunch of real-life lessons that have shaped us along the way. Kids, take note: respect is everything.It leads to…

Say what you will, you are what you do. Before the January momentum wears off, this is a great thing to keep in mind. Every new year always starts with good intentions and all the things we say we want to change. We mean well. We really do. But I’ve learned that real change doesn’t…

Until you walk in someone else’s shoes… it’s easy to talk about world events without really feeling what they mean to the people living through them. This week, as we watch what’s happening in Venezuela, where people are grappling with uncertainty, hope, fear, and the long effects of years of hardship under an authoritarian government,…

Happy New Year! The start of a new year always makes me pause, even if only for a hot minute, to reflect on the people and places that have carried us through. As we step into 2026, my hope is that it brings good health, lots of laughter, love, and moments we’ll look back on…
