Last year, within a week of getting our Christmas tree it was all dead and droopy. The ornaments were falling off and the needles were everywhere. It was such a bummer!!!This year, I wanted to avoid that same scenario. So, instead of hitting up the local garden center, we headed to a local tree farm to cut one down – fresh as fresh …

Life is too short to be anything but happy. Yet so many people are desperately seeking it, while not actually being it. So where’s the disconnect? Someone once asked me what happiness means to me. My personal definition of happiness was filled with all the “extra” things in life (vacations, relaxing, playing). I talked about having fun and laughing. I …

Are you missing your purpose? Do you know what your purpose is? Even more importantly, do you feel like you’re living it? OR do you feel like this is the all-important, yet ever elusive question that keeps you up at night? When you know what it is your life feels full – it feels meaningful – and you’re happy. But …

I was reminded of something really important this morning – vulnerability is scary. It’s scary because you’ve been hurt at some point in your life in some way by some person. I have too. We all have, and it sucks. Maybe it was someone you loved, like your mom or dad, a sibling, boyfriend or spouse who let you down …

I did a recent Facebook Live – it was so fun!!! And I loved having the chance to share my fundamentals that inspire all things B&T with all of you. It’s really who I am, what I stand for, and what I think all of us are capable of. Take a moment to watch and see what resonates with you …

We just got home from a 2-week vacation to Florida. It was aaaaaaamazing! I loved having time to just hang with my family. Our “regular” life can sometimes feel a little crazy. This was a much needed time to connect with each other, to disconnect from everything else and to just laugh, play and have fun!!! As much as I …

Last week I was in the drive thru line at Starbucks, not totally paying attention, when the person behind me laid on her horn to get me moving. My first reaction – not so pretty. And I felt this wave of thoughts and feelings I did not want come over me. So when I pulled up to the window, I bought her …

Sometimes, trying to decide between two things that are really important to you can feel impossible. And other times you’re so wiped from making so many decisions, that every single one (big and small) starts to feel completely overwhelming. It’s especially common to feel this way when you’re making any kind of changes in your life. Like when you set …

One of the biggest stress triggers that I hear people talking about is time. No one feels like they have enough of it, and everyone wants more of it. I’ve caught myself feeling trapped by time before too. It’s such a frustrating place to be because we feel out of control and helpless (victims of time). But then I made a very …

Day 16. Have you ever considered the possibility that you are wrong about something? About anything? About everything? This possibility has been on my mind a lot lately – not in a worried about it way, but more in a curious about it way. The possibilities of things that any of us could be wrong about are endless. Yet so …
