Learn: Like Riding a Bike

Do you remember when you first learned to ride a bike? I am guessing, that like me, you didn’t automatically get on and ride off into the sunset. You probably had a few wipe outs and falls. Maybe you struggled with making a sharp turn. Or perhaps breaking was your problem. Either way, I am sure you have a few memories of your mom or dad putting bandaids on your scraped knees, like I do. Riding a bike certainly isn’t the hardest thing we’ve ever learned, but it wasn’t easy either. I think many of us have forgotten that fact. [...]

Love Learn Lead March 16, 2017

It is the middle of March, and we’ve almost fully survived the week after daylight savings. It’s funny because when I choose to stay up later and lose an hour of sleep, it doesn’t seem to affect me. But when I don’t have a choice, it’s a whole other story. Oh, well. As I write this, snow is falling faster and heavier than it has all winter. I have a pot of what will be bone broth, cooking on the stove. And I am fighting the urge to bake just long enough to get some writing done. I am not [...]

We have almost made it through another week, and many of us are already thinking about the weekend. But in the meantime, today, I am sharing a quote about love, who has surprisingly been my greatest mentor in self care, and a leadership tip that I have found to be crucial in the influential roles I have held. Here is today’s Love, Learn, Lead. Enjoy! Love Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. —Martin Luther King, Jr. Learn “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” [...]

Happy Thursday! As it is week one of two that we will be talking about Self Love, I thought I’d share that recently Self Love, for me, has looked like a lot of time on the couch. Last week, I came down with a cold that wiped me out for almost a good week. But—it did give me plenty of time to read. Today, I share with you one of the books that kept me company. Here is today’s Love, Learn, Lead. Enjoy! Love This winter, PBS has been airing a new Masterpiece show entitled Victoria, about the life of [...]

A month ago, I was lamenting winter. But here we are, another month down, and only one to go. We will get through this season. The things that have been helping me survive are hot cups of coffee and tea, good books, times with friends, and a quick trip to Texas that I tell you about below. I hope you are finding pockets of comfort and soul sustenance, in this seemingly long season. Here is today’s Love, Learn, Lead. Love “What is done in love is well done. ” —Vincent Van Gogh Learn Two weekends ago, I had the most [...]

Love: What I have Learned

When I was a kid, my favorite movie involved a man on a horse who rescues a beautiful woman in the outback of Australia. He had an amazing accent and wasn’t bad to look at. She had this gorgeous, curly black hair. My hair was straight, which I hated. So it didn’t take me long to realize I wanted to be her. I wanted her hair, and I wanted to ride behind the man on the horse. I guess I can’t blame all of my childhood romantic fantasies on Disney. But combining my impressionable imagination as a young girl with [...]

In just a few days, football fans from around our country will be getting together to watch the big game (or the commercials). This year, my team is playing, and I have to admit, I have some mixed feelings. First, because if you follow me on Instagram, you know we were hoping for my husband’s team to also make it to the Super Bowl, but they didn’t. Second, because my team beat our best friend’s team—and we go over to their house every year to watch the game. They must love us a lot because we are still invited to [...]

Happy Thursday! We have almost made it all the way through January. Only 53 days until spring! I don’t like to rush time, but sometimes winter feels unending and I hate to be stuck inside. Where we live, we get snow that turns to rain, or just plain freezing rain, so there aren’t too many walks in the snow for us. Also, when we do get a wonderfully sunny day, it is still too cold to spend much time outside. So, no complaints here if the winter doesn’t drag on this year! Here is today’s Love, Learn, Lead. Enjoy! Love [...]

Learn: How I Gave Up Sugar

It took me a long time to come clean. To admit that I had a problem. To finally say I was an addict. Sure, my drug was sold openly next to the flour and baking soda, and not so secretly in the candy aisle, so legally, there was no crime involved. But I had a full on sugar addiction. One afternoon, in high school, when I sat on the floor in my bedroom, eating an entire bag of Starburst jelly beans—I thought the only consequence was a sick feeling in my stomach and a sugar coma. I wasn’t paying enough [...]

This week, the gray skies of winter have had me feeling a little low. On the rare days that the sun shows its face, I make sure all the blinds are open. But it never has the same effect on me that a good run or hike does. There are still quite a few weeks before we will be able to get outside again, and it is time to think of fun ways of passing our time inside. As I try to come up with creative diversions, here are a few Love Learn Lead musings. Blessings. Love After coming home [...]
