Ready or Not ::: Open for ((Mind Your)) Business

Are you ready or not? Your right to stay closed is always your right. Your right to “not”. Your right to be ready. We talk about how grounded we’ve become in our being “socially grounded”. As always, I encourage you to follow your gut. You know when and how and if and yes and no thank you. Trust that you’ve fed that with times of still and laser focus. Times to dwell in your gut feelings ((or God’s urge)). You are allowed to venture out. You are allowed to stay in. Allowed to feel like home is s...

WWLD? ::: Change the World

This little wonder was my very favorite co-host ever. She also spilled the beans on all my non-highlight mamahood fails ::: awesome. She included a tale of “salt legend ate from under the sink” ((also known as a cascade pod)). True failure and raw real words straight from the 32 pounder herself. For four years I’ve said I want to be Love when I grow up. In this episode I’m reminded of exactly why. Fearless. Full. Hysterical. Welcome to my life and the long promised WWLD episode. What Would Love ...

A Hard Rewire ::: Save Me from Myself.

This week pinpointing the emotion is a lot like pinpointing the craving ::: can’t be done so just eat it all? Kidding kind of. The feelings are hard to lock down. So I’m feeling ((and eating)) it all. I basically told my son he’d have his day in court. Not proud. Just real. And I answered a few of your questions which was way fun. So grab your styrofoam cups and your best cardigan. Get in here you sweet things. Let’s grow old together.

Finding Your Compass ::: Losing Your Mind

As social distancing moves to sheltering in place and the “task” turns into the new normal. The thin patience and the anxiety of navigating newness in our own humanness. We are talking the infectious anxiety of the infection. We are talking carving out something sacred in something scary. And we are talking help. I know I’m allergic to it too. Oh, by “we” I mean “I” bc I’m hunkered. Come on in and cozy up, buttercups.

Pep Rally for the Curve Flatteners ::: But Did You Really Wash Your Hands?

Social distancing. The one thing I’m actually an expert in. #thatSAHMlife y’all. And bc of my recovering OCD, I’m also passionate about hand washing. So here we are. Some changes yes, like my husband being home. Suddenly everyone is a stay at home mom. Including husbands and well, everyone. It’s an adjustment. As with anything toxic in our lives, time & space is needed. And if we are being honest ::: a good scrubbing. So don’t let fear reign. Warm water. Good soap. Sing happy birthday twice....
