Hello, friend. Have you taken a deep breath outside lately? Can you smell the changes in the air? Spring is dancing before us, welcoming us back from our Winter slumber.

Hello, friend! As March has drawn closer, the phrase "In like a lion, out like a lamb" came to mind, all the way back from preschool. It's a familiar saying that invites our imagination and creativity to compare the relentless weather of winter to that of a lion, and the anticipation of a pleasa... Read More »

Or Happy Singles Awareness Day! Your choice :D Hello, friend! February is known as the month of love - Cupid, construction paper Valentines, candy hearts (ew), flowers, etc. It used to be my most dreaded month. I felt it was done far too over the top for my liking. It may also have been because ... Read More »

Happy New Year, dear friend. Each year, for as long as I can remember, I've been bombarded by the same message around this time of year: "New Year, New You. Start Today, Don't Delay" I must say, personally I find it a bit annoying. Don't get me wrong - the start of a new year is as great of a tim... Read More »

Merry Christmas, dear friend. This month my little boy turns two right before Christmas. While this will be his third Christmas, this will be the first one where he realizes what's going on. He understands the concept of a present and that they're meant to be opened (thanks to Blippi). I see the ... Read More »

Happy fall, dear friend! Crunching leaves, colorful trees, pumpkin spice lattes (so delicious!), sweater weather, and the sound of combines to lull you to sleep. Believe it or not, as much as I love fall, it's not my favorite season (even though it's the only season with pumpkin spice lattes). D... Read More »

Psst! Wanna know a secret? I absolutely LOVE podcasts. I could listen to them all day long (and do!) while I’m at work replying to an email, taking notes, answering my coworker, and searching for a price on an item. All at the same time. That sounds a bit awful, doesn’t it? On one such occasion,... Read More »

Hey there, friend, Have you ever had that moment when someone is explaining something or asking you to do something, and it feels like they're speaking a foreign language? (Sheepishly raising hand) I have! And each time I say, "Wait... what?" And embarrassingly, it's usually more than once. Littl... Read More »

Hello, friend! Happy 4th of July! Can you believe it? Summer is officially here! The warm days, cool nights, swimming, bonfires (hello s’mores!), star gazing, hiking - the adventures could go on and on! By far, summer is my favorite season. And personally, if I could be that flamingo floating in ... Read More »

Hello, friend. How are you? For real. Really, truly, deep down inside - how are you? How often do you take time for yourself - to tune in to how you are really doing? Summer is right around the corner, and with summer comes all sorts of fun to have. It's a busy time of year, and it's easy to let ... Read More »

I couldn't resist sending this month's newsletter out a few days late. I kinda like Star Wars. And by that, I mean I enjoy watching it, even though I don't really understand what's going on most of the time. However, my husband loves Star Wars, and it's one way we get to spend time with each othe... Read More »

Happy Spring, friend! Robins are starting to arrive, and my husband is getting the itch to be in the field. Both are sure signs spring is here! With spring comes a sense of renewal and growth. Can you feel it within yourself? We start to think about spending time outside in the sunshine, planting... Read More »

Hey there, friend. Believe it or not, this is the third attempt at writing this newsletter. The first two attempts ended with the newsletters being accidentally deleted by pressing the wrong buttons by not only myself, but also by my cat thinking it would be fun to bat at the curser on the screen...

Hello friend, February is here. Valentines Day will be here soon - the holiday all about love. While this holiday tends to be about sharing your affection for another, what if you were to give yourself permission to love yourself? To take care of yourself? “Self care is learning the practice of m... Read More »

Hello friend, Happy New Year! And a new year means you've probably made some resolutions for 2021.

Whatever they... Read More »
