  Do you ever wonder why you’re doing or started doing something?  I’m talking about on those tough days or like I call it, “character building days”.  The days it takes a little extra effort to go to the gym, do the activity, or you need to think a little harder on the project.  Days…

FEBRUARY: THE MONTH OF (SELF)LOVE

  Do you or have you ever felt guilty when doing something nice for yourself or something that will benefit you before it does anyone else?  If you answer yes, you’re not alone but we shouldn’t feel this way.  Really and truly, we should not!  Self-love is not selfish and that self-love should be a…

2026: GRATITUDE IS ALWAYS IN SEASON

2026: THE YEAR OF GRATITUDE I blinked and it’s almost February of 2026 but I’m not complaining!  In fact, my gratitude for the year so far is enormous.  My family and I spent the first 20 days of the year in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa which, if you’re new here, that is where I’m…

2025 POV | GIVE YOURSELF THE GRACE YOU GIVE SO FREELY TO OTHERS

2024 Last Lap!  Last Push! 

  Last quarter, last lap, last push!  However you see it, we have less than three months to 2025.  It’s mind blowing how time flies and if I look back to the start of the year, I will say that it has been fruitful, productive and challenging all at the same time. Many will agree…

LOVE YOURSELF AND TELL YOURSELF SO!

  To quote the one and only Ru Paul: “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you going to love anyone else?” We should love and be loved every single day of the year.  Know your person and love them the way they can receive it best or the way they know…

IN VS OUT FOR 2024: A TREND I CAN GET BEHIND!

  One week-ish in and how is 2024 going for you so far? I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions, and nothing is more cringe (to me) than “new year, new me”.  No judgement, just not my thing and it’s never been.  Goals? Yes.  Aspirations?  Yes.  Start-stop-continue?  Yes-yes-yes. And no, those things are not the…

  A short one to ring in my next 365 days.  Wow, what a year it has been.  One filled with many successes and many lessons.  It didn’t come without a few heartaches and tears but all of that said, I’ve grown beyond measure both inside and out.  The gratitude is priceless.  I feel strong…
