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
Hi there, friend. We might not have met in person, but I know you well, because I’ve worn the name tag you are wearing. The one that labels you “difficult,” the one that you often wish you didn’t wear. The one that causes you to feel like you are completely dismissed by those that force you to wear it: whether… Read More
Hi friends. It’s been a while since we’ve connected. I had a tough summer that included the illness and passing of my mother-in-law, followed by a tough autumn that included too many sports, too much overschedule and a kid with a broken collarbone. But I’m on the mend and wanted to check in and let you know that I’m… Read More
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: I’ve just been through some of the worst weeks of my life. This past month really sucked.

I had to buy new underwear the other day, and it was devastating. It’s not because my other pairs are ratty, it’s because they no longer fit. Super-humbling, for sure. I bought the cheapest economy pack I could find at Costco, because I hope soon it will be tossed in the trash and I can go back to the smaller,… Read More
I am thrilled to welcome my friend Laura Columbatto as the guest blogger on today’s “Tell Me More Tuesday!” Laura and I share a special bond–her son and my daughter have been sweethearts since they were three years old. Fate brought them together in preschool, and going to separate elementary schools didn’t slow them down! Case in point: Laura’s son’s… Read More
One of the important things I’ve learned during this time of change and uncertainty is that it’s important to recognize and celebrate my own milestones, rather than expecting others to notice and comment on them. Today, I turn 41. As hard as it is for me, it’s time for a little self-love. And if you’re also finding yourself still standing… Read More
Some people who read Paige’s story might have strong opinions regarding the issues that she so bravely addresses in this guest post. I ask in advance that everyone in our community read her story with a tender heart, and that all comments regarding this post and her journey remain committed to that tenderness. In this week’s “Tell Me More Tuesday,”… Read More
Going through a tough time is hard. Not just for those going through it, but for those around that person that love them and have no idea what to say or do. During this period of constant change in my life, I try to relieve some of the pain by sharing my struggles with trusted friends and family members. However,… Read More
