In the Flow
I love to watch young children listen to music. Cue an upbeat song and their bodies will start moving automatically. Giggling may ensue as they bust a sometimes awkward looking move, totally unaware of trying to "get it right." Whatever move they do is right because they are unashamed and enjoying themselves. I believe we… Continue reading In the Flow
4 Ways to Get Your Best Work Done
Small steps. Bit by bit. This is the only way to get stuff done. We know this, but we still don't move towards our goals. We won't take those small bites and here are a few reasons why: 1. Fear.

When it Rains it Pours
Last week it was raining here in my part of Texas. My husband dared me to run outside in the rain. I didn't want to at first, but decided to be spontaneous.

This past weekend our water pressure was extremely low, coming out in a slow trickle. A call to the leasing office revealed that this would be an issue for the next 3 to 24 hours.

We would learn about caterpillars and all the stages it took to get to a butterfly, while actually watching… Continue reading Trust Your Process

I was afraid of what might leak out on that page. What would happen next… Continue reading Is it Time for You to Start Back Writing?
Into the Water: Everyday Wisdom for Extraordinary Living
I went to Barton Springs with my hubby while we were on vacation in Austin, TX. It was a hot day and the cool water was a welcome relief. I stepped into the sand, cold water sloshing around my ankles. I began walking further, the water getting deeper. I stepped onto a rock that was covered… Continue reading Into the Water: Everyday Wisdom for Extraordinary Living
Great. Right Now.
My godson had his bday this past weekend. After the party ended ,we sat in the living room hanging out. A music video of Usher dancing came on the television. I asked my godson if he thought he could dance as good as Usher. He casually said, "No." For the record he is a dancing… Continue reading Great. Right Now.
Vulnerability and Writing: Broken and Dry
I was preparing a recipe that called for the juice of half a lime. I had half a lime on my counter that had been sitting overnight. The skin and outer pulp was quite dry. I tried to squeeze the lime and the skin started to crack. I cut it into quarters… Continue reading Vulnerability and Writing: Broken and Dry
