Work and Life Balance
Join The Start / Stop Challenge
If we are connected on social media, you may have seen my post in January kicking this off. A friend of mine did this a few years ago, and I thought it was brilliant. Whether it’s New Years resolutions, or any other type of goal setting, it’s pretty typical to come up with a list…

And I’ve missed you! I took a break from blogging for the second half of last year, and while it was exactly what I needed, I missed connecting with all of you. Thank you to everyone who reached out to say hello. I was feeling a little burnt out, and like I needed to honor…

June is a wonderfully busy month. Business is booming, kids are graduating, farmers markets have started and the sun is out.

The holidays have been a whirlwind of parties, getting together with clients, planning sessions, shopping and so much more. It’s spastic and crazy and I love every moment of it.

Read MoreIs It Time To Create Your Miracle?
It’s Thanksgiving week! Hurray! I love that a one day holiday has been turned into a month long celebration of gratitude. Each time I think of something to be grateful for, it makes whatever it is feel like a miracle. I just got back from spending 10 days in Maui with my family, unplugged and…
