So, yesterday was my birthday. I’m not telling you because I’m looking for your well wishes (although I wouldn’t mind it)—I’m mentioning it because age is such a tricky little bugger for a lot of us. It’s one of those things I’d like to say I’m totally cool with, but ya know what? I’m not. [...]

Do you ever find yourself doing something that doesn’t feel so great? I’m talking about things like repeatedly looking at social media even though you feel crappy after doing so. Do you eat when you’re not actually hungry—or obsess over tragic current events, even when you have no involvement? Do you call so-called friends or [...]

Can we ever fully understand other people, and can others ever truly get us? It’s a question I’ve been thinking about lately. You see, people like to tell me their “problems.” Often these problems involve other people (i.e. a spouse, a friend, a boss, a co-worker, a mother-in-law, a sibling or parent, etc.). I regularly [...]

So, I was at a Super Bowl party on Sunday (I know, I know, the Super Bowl is like, so last week), and while I had a lot of fun, there were some conversations that made me sad (well, my thoughts about the conversations anyway). Clearly I was triggered and need to do a little [...]

In order to change, you have to make changes. Seems like common sense, right? Well, you know what they say about common sense…it’s not so common. Most people out there (if they are somewhat self-aware) would like to make some changes in their lives. This is not something to feel bad about. In fact, I [...]

I recently read a quote by Eckhart Tolle that said, “When you realize it’s not personal, there is no longer a compulsion to react as if it were.” It struck me more than usual because I had just had a conversation with a friend earlier that day about how she takes most things personally. At [...]

The other day, a dear friend of mine was telling me all about some challenges she has been facing in her life recently. Like just about everyone (at some time or another), life seemed to be throwing a lot of muck her way, and she had been feeling depleted at times. As we spoke, she [...]

You ever notice that when you want everything, you get nothing? Ok, maybe not. That’s probably because it’s super subtle, and not so easy to spot if you aren’t aware of this silly phenomenon. If you ever have difficulty making decisions, it’s probably happening and you don’t even realize it. If you find yourself constantly [...]

For those of you who read my New Years post last week, you know that my word for 2016 is FLOW. The image that comes up for me when I picture this word, is a moving river. I’m not typically the type who describes things in an artsy, or symbolic way, but hey, every day [...]
