Reflections on 2019
No. I’m not writing a goals post. I refuse. Not even the most persuasive chocolate bearing sweet-talker can talk me into one. So there. Ha. Why? No one wants to read a goals post. Yes, I totally have a few (hundred) goals that I’m making plans to make happen, but waxing all poetic about it…

Power Word: Fearless
We’ve reached the end of the power word series and I saved the best for last. Today’s word is FEARLESS. While many choose to define fearless as ‘being without fear,’ I define it differently. Being fearless means to acknowledge your fears and then go out and do the thing that’s perhaps a little scary. For…

Power Word: Serenity
As we plunge into the full throes of Summer, this power word holds much more significance than during other parts of the year.

Power Word: Discover
Have you ever watched a toddler walk through a park? The first thing you’ll notice is they don’t walk. They stop every few steps to bend and look at something. Every moment is engaged in the adventure of discovery. Each rock, bug, and flower is a source of wonder and amazement. “Look!” They call. “Look,…

Power Word: Simplify
Modern living tends to be complicated for most and downright chaotic for some. It’s easy to allow the sheer numbers of chores, to do lists, job responsibilities, social media, and hobbies become overwhelming. Which is why I’ve chosen the word ‘simplify’ as one of my power words this year. ‘Simplify’ means to keep reminding myself…

Power Words of 2019
No, this isn’t a goal writing post. I swear it. No one wants to read yet another one of those. Besides, it’s mid January, trendy goal-setting posts are not allowed past this point. This is totally a motivating “set your intention” mindful living kind of post. And I’m all about motivation! This year, I didn’t…
