I am currently pregnant, which means lots of cravings! A few weeks ago, I was craving chocolate. I daydreamed about brownies, ice cream, and other chocolate laden things. I didn't know quite when I would get some chocolate or in what form, but I knew it would be soon. Interestingly enough I got a pleasant … Continue reading What Chocolate Taught Me About Manifesting

Reverb#14: Certainty
I every spend December doing some written reflection of the year by participating in Reverb which is hosted this year by Kat McNally. The premise of Reverb is simple: each day a prompt is given and you answer openly (and maybe even share like I am doing on my site). Its a simple, refreshing end … Continue reading Reverb#14: Certainty
Why Aren’t You Telling Your Story?
What stops us from writing? What keeps us from doing the one thing that we feel like we must do? What keeps our stories buried inside of us wanting to burst out? The number one reason why great people like yourself aren't sharing your story is this: You don't believe your story matters. We think … Continue reading Why Aren’t You Telling Your Story?
Everyday Extraordinary: Strumming Chords
Last month, I committed to learning how to play the guitar. I hadn't practiced in a while so I decided practice for an hour yesterday. I had avoided practice because for the past month I have been struggling. My fingers don't seem to move in a coordinated way between the only two chords I know.

That is me. She looked back down to play with the block, but then quickly raised … Continue reading Looking in the Mirror

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. We ran a short distance and came back inside. My face and body soaking wet but a smile on my face. ( I … Continue reading When it Rains it Pours
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
