I love a good plan. Seriously, as far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing quite like sitting down at the start of a new year and mapping out your vision for that year and then creating the goals that’ll help you to make that vision your new reality. Best. Thing. Ever. But since my 2020 plans were unexpectedly wiped back in …
Can you count on yourself? You’ve got to know without a doubt that you will do what you say. If you say you’re going to start working out, make a plan and do it. If you say you’re going to drink more water, get yourself a new lime green Yeti and get to it. If you say you’re going to …
When life feels crazy, it’s nice to know that you can find joy in simple things. Things that are literally right there at your fingertips like calling a friend to catch up, watching the sunset and bringing some fresh cut flowers into your space.

Our annual summer vacation Dad’s and daughters’ lunch is one of my favorite parts of the week. It’s just such a nice time to sit and have lunch with my sister, Dad and me because just the 3 of us isn’t a dynamic that happens often.

Life is different now. Do you feel that too? It’s not exactly clear what this new normal is going to look like for many of us, but it is pretty clear that there’s no going back. Things have changed. They’re continuing to change, and while this change is in process, it’s a good time to look at the change you …
Your day to day life determines your happiness. It’s not the vacations and the time off. The summer cookouts or the monthly bookclub with your closest friends. Yes, those events are part of it, but it’s really about what you’re doing on Tuesday at 2pm. It’s the way in which you live your everyday life that determines how much you enjoy …
Let’s talk about love. A lot of times when people think about love – they think about the fairytale version of love – the hearts, roses, butterflies and happily ever afters.

Ever show up at work, home or the grocery store and think to yourself – how’d I get here?
