Just Press Pause

The Fall is a busy season of harvest and preparation for the winter. Of back to school and holidays and sweaters and transitions. Sometimes we feel depleted, yet can’t press the pause button on Life to rest.  That can feel frustrating! If this is you, I invite you to consider some new thoughts around that.

Welcome Home

Home is where your heart is, I've always said. Mark and I have been gypsy nomads for the past 18 years with the longest stint being 6 years in Washington back in 2008. When we moved back to Duvall last year, I had hoped to be settled. While we felt like we would stay, we did not feel settled in at all, even though we were renting a beautiful property. Last week we moved into our new home in Duvall. Having lived here just one week, I feel more settled and at HOME than I have in the past 5 years.

Having it All

"Have it All" and take a deep breath, look up and reflect on the awesome. Because the awesome is still there. My tiredness, my efforts, my frustrations (and my hunger!) blurs my vision sometimes, but with 100% honesty I can say...it's still there.

Eyes Wide Open

Dreaming With Our Eyes Wide Open:
Let's face it. The Greatest Showman soundtrack is just plain addictive.  The words of the songs replay through my mind like subway trains rumbling underground. Thank you, Hugh Jackman.
