Finding JOY in the journey
When I started this “life change” journey back in September of 2017, I really thought that I’d have a few months of figuring it out that might be a bit challenging, but if I was really following my true purpose then everything would sort itself out and by fall of 2018 I’d be merrily rolling along with a new roadmap… Read More
Today’s “Tell Me More Tuesday” post is from my dear friend Katy Lautzenhiser. I remember the night a few years ago when I happened to run into her at a local restaurant, sitting with her co-workers, wondering what they were going to do after the rug had been pulled out from under them.

From answering phones to waitressing, to exchanging money as a bank teller, to working in the hospital as a Speech-Pathologist, my professional schedule and responsibilities have always been dictated by someone else. In the days since… Read More
Friday was awesome. When I left my office on Friday, I knew that I had been true to my inner voice and I was on the path to enlightenment–or at least something that would match my inner passion to my outer profession. It was exciting, energizing and I spent the afternoon on a buzz of possibility and hope. The world… Read More
