When I Stop Talking, I Hear More
Happy Friday, beautiful! 💕 I’ve grown so much through my willingness to be silent. To stop talking for a moment and allow the world to share something with me. I’m discovering how much there is to hear when I give myself time to listen without already knowing what I’m listening for. Sometimes I enter a…

Is It Growing, or Is It Swelling?
Happy October, beautiful! 💕 Yesterday, while listening to a church sermon, I heard something that made me stop and take a breath: swelling can look like growth, but swelling comes from injury. I’ve been sitting with that thought ever since. I know what it feels like to look at something expanding and call it good…

I Love the Life I Am Creating
Good morning, beautiful ☀️✨ I have been saying something lately that still catches me a little bit when I hear myself say it: I love my life. Not I will love my life when. Not I love certain parts of my life. Not everything is perfect right now so of course I love my life.…

The Lemon Dishes Can Wait
Good morning, beautiful ☀️✨ I am home, fall is starting to make her little entrance, and it is almost time for me to put away my summer lemon dishes. And normally, this would just be one of those yummy little seasonal things I love to do. I LOVE changing my dishes with the seasons. I…

The Joy of Noticing Yourself
Good morning, beautiful ☀️✨ Happy Monday! I have been thinking about how yummy it is to notice yourself. Not judge yourself. Not analyze every little thing you do.

The Beauty of Growth in Hard Moments
Happy Taco Tuesday 🌮✨ September showed up, and apparently I had other plans. LOL. I am just getting a chance to sit down and write because for the past few weeks, I have had the privilege of being a caregiver to my 77-year-old mom. And I use the word privilege intentionally. Has it been easy?…

I Don’t Have to Wait for the Whole Dream
Good morning, beautiful ☀️✨ I have a pretty massive vision for my life. And when I say massive, I mean MASSIVE. I can see this beautiful family compound where my siblings have homes, where we gather and live life together, where there is land and a stable because my sister and niece love horses, and…

What Else Could I Say Yes To?
Good morning, beautiful. ☀️✨ A couple of weeks ago, I started asking myself a really simple question: What are all the yummy things around me that I have never taken advantage of simply because I never looked for them? I thought about my undergraduate years living in Sonoma County, California, literally in wine country. Napa…

When I Dishonor My Own Peace
Good morning, beautiful. ☀️✨ Earlier this week, on Taco Tuesday, what was supposed to be a simple couples lunch date with one of my best friends and her husband turned into a lesson I did not know I needed again. My husband had planned the outing, but somewhere along the way the plans changed, and…
