So, I mentioned in a previous post that I was tackling another project to re-teach my hand how to journal. Here it is, the “Lil Journal Project,” which comes from Ashley Hackshaw, one of my favorite bloggers. She is a DIY queen with an inspiring story of courage and choosing joy. Oh, and she happens…
Join me for 3 questions to consider the next time you need a rest and recovery day, but are struggling to accept that. Plus, I’m sharing free printable resources to help you brainstorm a “menu of activities” for your next recovery day, solo retreat, or Sabbath day of rest! I had a hard time getting…
Maybe I should turn 40 more often. Because my 1980s themed 40th birthday karaoke party was one for the record books! And I’m like totally itchin’ to give the 411 on this unforgettable, bodacious bash. Cowabunga, let’s go! The night before my 40th birthday, March 18th, 2023 was a night to remember. We dressed up…
For over a decade now, I’ve had the tradition of adopting a “word of the year” from which to set my intentions and priorities for the year. Join me as I share my journaling from the very moment I discovered my “one word” for 2023 to some of the practical steps I’m taking to live…
Today is a big day for me. It’s my 10 Year Blogiversary! On this day 10 years ago, I took a leap and started my own blog on WordPress.com. I published my very first post about “The Thinking Closet” of my early childhood where I would get lost in a creative project for hours. I…

For a decade now I’ve been adopting a “word of the year” from which to set my intentions and priorities for the year. It has been one of the most meaningful traditions of my adult life. Join me as I share the back-story behind discovering my “one word” for 2022, its two facets, & my…
Bring along a cup of comfort and join me for a “virtual coffee date” where I share my reflections after my week unplugged from digital devices at family camp this July. We’ll talk about calling, the ever-wandering heart, and what I’m doing (or not doing) now that I’m back home. Let’s do this! *clink* *Note:…
Hiya Friend, Well, since we were last talking about My One Word for 2020, it feels like the world has turned upside-down (a few times over). What a surreal thing to be living during a season that we know will be taught in history books and recollected around family campfires. One thing that has been grounding…
One of the most meaningful practices of my adult life has been adopting a “word of the year” from which I set my intentions and priorities. Here’s the story behind discovering my “one word” for 2020 and a close-up view of the mind-map I created in my planner to help me embrace this word from…
I wouldn’t be true to myself it wasn’t un-fashionably late in posting my 2019 reflections! {Snicker.} Each January, as excited as I am to springboard ahead into the new year with fresh goals and new practices, I pump the breaks a bit. And do an about-face, dedicating some intentional reflection time on what in the…

So, I blinked and we’re nine days into 2019! Church and gym parking lots are packed thanks to the new resolutions that come with a new year. Store shelves are filled with containers and bins to help us bring order to the chaos of our closets. The sound of new pens being uncapped resounds across…
So, I just caught myself mindlessly doing my snappy dance in front of the microwave while waiting for my coffee to re-heat. Oh, what’s my snappy dance, you ask? The one where I snap my fingers to a peppy beat. It’s all the rage with the kids these days. {Wink.} Just kidding. It’s not cool…
If we could sit down and have a cup of coffee… …we’d probably meet up at that darling local spot. That coffee shop on the brick street that serves those yummy acai bowls and always has a killer soundtrack playing. I’d order my caramel macchiato, half-sweet (because hey…I’m tryin’). And you’d order your go-to drink…
Oh, how I love this time of year. The blank-slate-ness of it all. There’s not much I find more exhilarating than cracking open a new journal, turning to a blank page, and filling it up with dreams and schemes for a brand spankin’ new year. Cue the “Auld Lang Syne.” But not yet. You see,…

This past spring, Mark and I devoured the new Netflix series, “Anne with an E,” in a matter of days. And somewhere between the raspberry cordial incident and those divine puffed sleeves, we were struck with inspiration to host an “Anne” themed birthday party for my sweet sister-in-love Jodi this summer. Mark estimates that he…
