I wish someone would have been there to share this information with me when I was struggling. About 15 years ago, as a mother, I was beside myself. At wits’ end. I didn’t know what to do. Most people in my life probably didn’t even know it because I ‘keep it together’ pretty well. But, here’s what was really going on at my house. I didn’t know how to be a good mom for my youngest child Kady. She was about 10 at the time. It had been going on… Read More
Humans are so fun to watch! We are always looking for the latest and greatest strategy to improve our health, increase our energy and extend our life span.

I have a feeling it is probably still happening and that our world has just gotten so crazy, these stories don’t even make it to the top of our newsfeed anymore – which is a whole other topic. But, I digress.) The thing is…every… Read More
I love starting a new project. Dreaming it up. Having the vision. Making the commitment. All of those stages are so exciting and energizing. But then, it’s time to sit down and face the blank page. To start turning those ideas into words. Actions. Next steps. It can be paralyzing. Have you ever just been stuck at the starting line? Overwhelmed. Not sure where to begin?
