At the beginning of this year, I decided I would change my life. Yes, a whole new career path, but even more than that – a new way of being in the world.


What's something you'd like to change about yourself? Your home? Your city?

Why hasn't it happened?


Lasting change requires effort. It's the answer no one wants to hear. Effort isn't comfortable. It's not easy.


Luckily, there's an upside – It doesn't have to be strenuous.

You don't need to be at your breaking point to change.


The real key to change is consistency.


What can you do daily? Weekly?


Consistency means not giving up. It's when you refine your strategies, instead of change course entirely when life gets hard. Learn the difficult balance of when to give yourself grace and when to push yourself. Only you can do that for you.


A little over a week ago, I was asked to be on the advisory board at Connect to Protect Kids, a new organization created specifically to protect children from CSA. I'm overjoyed at what this new venture will bring to my life.


When I decided to change careers ten months ago, I didn't have a plan. All I had was a desire paired with immediate action.


Now, I'm beginning to reap the rewards of my consistency, and I'm so excited for what life has in store.


Life is better with a little effort.

Right now, look around the room that you're in and notice everything that is brown. Take inventory of what each object or surface is. Go ahead take a minute and look. When you're done, read this next...

The Practice of Presence

I'm sitting in my living room admiring the blooms of my newly purchased peonies. What once were tightly wrapped buds are slowly opening to feathery aromatic flowers, pink and full of life. Aufheben. The beautiful german philosophy...

I had a vision of the future.

After a recent meditation, I had a vision. I say vision but really there were no visuals. (I have aphantasia.) It was more a feeling...
