My Grandmother’s Memorial Is This Weekend

My Grandmother’s memorial service is this weekend.  She lived to be nearly 95 years old.  So, I am looking back on her life and the many beautiful memories I have with her.  I am sorting through old letters and photos and spending time remembering many moments with her.   Of course this has me reflecting on my own life and asking a...

Do You Remember Who You Were Before The World Told You Who To Be

“Do you remember who you were before the World told you who to be?”   I first heard this quote from Danielle Laporte, maybe 6 years ago.  It was exactly what I was working on at the time.  I wanted to find my authentic self again - to forget everything I had learned about who I was supposed to be and all...

Emotional Wellness.  Even if we are strong mentally, emotional overwhelm can take us down pretty...

Lean on me

This morning a friend messaged me about a tragic and devastating event that had just happened in her life. Trust me when I tell you that this was jaw dropping, bone chilling kind of news for her to have received. What stayed with me after reading her message though was one little line in her own words. ...

Fertile Listening

As women, we generally like to build connections with people and to nurture friendships by sharing stories. It feels good to share by talking. The chat goes back and forth and you build on one another's comments. Have you ever noticed that while you are chatting with a good friend, you have an "Ah-ha moment"; that things just come together...

What do you want to be?

Deciding what we want to "be" in terms of work is a massive decision, that we are called on to make at, what now seems, a young age.
