I’ve always thought of discipline with somewhat of a negative connotation. I like living in a state of flow, feeling “aligned” and doing what feels right. Most of the time, I think my instincts are pretty good. I’ve built a successful design business, finished...

This post was supposed to be about setting goals, but on Sunday, June 2 we got a call that a close family member had passed away ~ peacefully in her sleep. I haven’t lost someone who was a part of my normal life, so my brain and heart have been trying to comprehend...

Two years ago I went by myself to a workshop called Brave. It was April 2017. I admitted that I was unhappy with my career/work to a group of strangers and a woman who would become my coach (but I didn't know that yet). I was just there because I had to do something...

Last night for dinner I was going to make turkey meatballs in a coconut Thai curry sauce, but we had Asian the night before, so I wanted to change it up! Since I enjoy cooking, this was a chance to get creative (and didn't stress me out at all). I ended up...
