  • Kickball Lesson

    Kickball Lesson

    I have probably told this story a 1 million times, so here goes a 1,000,001. I remember hating kickball at school. It was time to pick teams and my heart would feel like it would come out of my chest. Now I played kickball often at home and I was really fast and I could…

  • Chaos ~ Mindful Living Moment

    Chaos ~ Mindful Living Moment

    We are interconnected, but what we choose to connect ourselves to is very personal. There is always two sides of a coin, we get to determine what side of the coin we will give our energy over to or we could just leave the coin where we found it.

    Mindful Living Moment: Healing

    Healing has so many layers. We all heal in different ways. I recall a place in my heart that needed healing. I was stuck, because I was waiting on the person to do right by me. I was waiting on some type of remorse, but it never came, even when I confronted them, it still…

  • Mindful Living Moment

    It’s very easy to constantly speak on the things that hurt us the most. Most of the time that, it’s a good thing and it can serve our healing. However, I have caught myself in the past talking about my hurt as a story to just tell over and over again, because I am not…

    Mindful Living Moment. What invitations are you giving out?

    Who doesn’t like to get an invitation to an awesome party? We don’t just give out invitations to physical parties, we give them out to our own life party. I like to call these invitations, internal soul invitations. What do I mean when I say an internal soul invitation? A soul invitation is the things…

  • The Power of a Hug

    The Power of a Hug

    I remember growing up and being taught to not talk to strangers, let alone give them a hug and for good reason with the world we live in and all the violence we see happening to our children, but is that the best way? I don’t think we should force our kids to hug people,…

    What is love? Here’s a thought: just a thought.

    Love, what is it really about? Well I have been with my husband for almost 25 years and I have a few failing thoughts on that, which has helped me get to this right here, with time and practice. When you are happy, you make others happy around you. Deal with yourself first. The other…
