What makes people happy… I do want to start this post with a disclaimer; no one is happy every day, I don’t believe it to be possible. I think that everyone carries their stress, anxiety, etc. differently, that we carry a range of emotions and thoughts. Some heavier than others. However, I am always tryingContinue reading “Habits of Happy People”

The Art of Fake Resting
I just realized that I have a hidden talent…fake resting. Well, it’s not really a talent, but actually a poor trait or activity. I didn’t even know that the phrase “fake resting” even existed. As I was reading one of my self-help books, I came across a chapter about fake resting and it hit meContinue reading “The Art of Fake Resting”
Welcome Ada
I am sure many of you know by now that baby Ada joined our family on Jan. 4, 2021, at 7:09 am. This sweet, baby girl came into this world with a solid set of lungs and powerful cry. Any mom will tell you that hearing the baby cry is a relief and knowing thatContinue reading “Welcome Ada”
Wintering…
I watched the ice buildup on the trees, the house, windows, and every outdoor surface possible on Friday. The trees are the most interesting to watch as they get heavier and weighed down with ice. Then the wind starts to pick up and you painfully watch them slowly sway, heavily burdened by the layers ofContinue reading “Wintering…”

Finding the Joy during the Season
Do you ever feel like the walls are closing in or the room is getting smaller? I feel that right now with the holidays, a baby on the way, and the ongoing stress of COVID. The holidays can be stressful enough but throw in some additional life situations, then the room gets smaller faster. IfContinue reading “Finding the Joy during the Season”
Learning to say “no”
I really suck at saying “no” or “so sorry, I can’t do that right now” or “no thank you” etc. I struggle because I always want to help, give or do better in life. For almost 20 years, I have served on dozens of local boards, workgroups, led community service projects, etc. With my kidsContinue reading “Learning to say “no””
What to give up for Lent?
I could list about 50 things I could give-up for Lent. But will I start with what I will not give up which is coffee. My sweet child, my 11-year-old son told me I could give up coffee and wine for Lent. My response was, “do you want live to see the end of Lent?”Continue reading “What to give up for Lent?”
I Took A Day For Myself…
So, I took a day for myself this week. I have literally drained myself of all life in relation to work, deadlines, grant writing, meetings, etc. and that doesn’t include being a mom and caring for little people and a home. I take maybe 2 days a year, to do something fun, for me. LikeContinue reading “I Took A Day For Myself…”
Swimsuit Season…
I know that it is only February but my Facebook feed is filled with swimsuit ads and there are suits out at Target. Why does it seem that the swimsuits get brought out earlier and earlier each year or is it just me? Maybe, by February, I am still trying to work through my NewContinue reading “Swimsuit Season…”
