Love Learn Lead April 18, 2019

We all have a different story. No two people on this earth have the same exact shared experiences, or thoughts about them. It is just not possible. However, we all know what it is like to experience fear, to worry about what people will think of us, or to have our past threaten to dictate our future. None of us move through life completely unencumbered by something slowing us down or holding us back. And yet, People do incredible things. You do incredible things. You have done incredible things. You have overcome obstacles, both big and small in your life. [...]

Five Ways I Manage Anxiety

In celebration of her fortieth birthday, last month author Sarah Bessey shared forty important things she’s learned in her life. One thing she said that struck me was this: “Being a responsible adult is the most underrated form of self-care.” Then she went on to explain by listing all the “boring” tasks of adulting like going to bed at a decent time, exercising, keeping a budget, etc. Sometimes, the greatest thing we can do for ourselves is to live a more disciplined and routine life. To commit to practices that don’t necessarily bring us the most joy, but in the big [...]

5 Things I Loved in March

March is coming to a close, and I have been looking forward to the end of this month for weeks. One obvious reason is spring is here, and hopefully, the weather will start to act accordingly. But mostly, I’ve been looking forward to getting away. This weekend, Tony and I are headed to the Finger Lakes in New York with our best friends. We’re going to eat good food, take a hike (weather permitting), and visit some of our favorite wineries. And of course, the best part will be, being all together. Friendship is such a gift. Doing life together [...]

I’m Hearing Voices, How About You?

“When I was your age, I had to walk to school through the snow, barefoot. And it was uphill both ways.” How many of us heard those words, or something similar, growing up? In other words, life is hard, so suck it up. Perhaps that is why, when I was twenty-two, I was walking through the snow with bronchial pneumonia, to get to a bus that would take me to work. I just thought that’s what adults do. We ignore our ailments and suppress our pain. We “suck it up,” and do what is expected of us. Only now, I [...]

Love Learn Lead February 21, 2019

Who are the people or a person who gives you a picture of how you want to “adult?” Maybe not in every way, but perhaps in how they parent, prioritize their marriage, make a difference in the world, stand up for what is important, pursue a dream, travel, etc. They could be your parents age, two years older than you, or even a few years younger than you. Who are the adults in your life that you look up to? Who do you admire? Has your admiration inspired action in your own life? Has this person changed the way you [...]

Love: Great Podcasts to Start the New Year

Do you ever feel like there isn’t enough time in the day to read all the books you want to read? Or to learn all the things you want to learn? I feel that way more times than I can count. That is why I love podcasts. Podcasts can give you twenty to sixty minutes of good information right in your ears as you drive to the grocery store, fold laundry, or workout in the gym. Sometimes, the people being interviewed are the authors of the books we want to read. And we can learn some great stuff even if [...]

My Brain Is Wired For Coffee

If you’ve learned anything about me by now, there’s a good chance, it’s that I like coffee. Ok, truthfully? It’s that I LOVE coffee. Drinking a good cup filled with that steaming black liquid, is one of my favorite parts of almost every day. Only, around November, I started drinking more than just coffee. Before you get any bad ideas, let me tell you I started making mocha’s at home. Into the bottom of my mug, I’d toss a tablespoon of cocoa powder. Then, I’d add a little more than a tablespoon of maple syrup (the real stuff). I’d stir [...]
