Eighty percent of most people’s thoughts are negative. I read this recently and was floored! That’s huge! If you’ve been around here for any amount of time you know how I feel about words. I am a writer, so I’m a bit of a word nerd anyway. My love affair with words goes deeper than that […] Read more…

Write your own story?
You’re reading a book. It’s a good one. A page turner. You don’t want to put it down. When you do, you go to bed thinking about it. The plot makes it’s way into your dreams. Once you do finish reading it, you feel like there’s a void. You want to keep the story going. […] Read more…
What if we worked backwards?
What if you could work backwards. See into the future. Would you like to take a glimpse into your life in say 20 years? What will you be doing? How will you be living? Maybe you’ll be retired.

In the last 5 years or so, I’ve become a natural and organic mama. Whether it’s food or body wash. I’m always looking for something that’s safer and healthier. It wasn’t until we had kids that I really gave it much thought. It was after the birth of our son that we started intentionally eating more […] Read more…
Summer Days + Spare Keys
It was a hot Southern California day (aka yesterday). I had been out to run a few errands with the kids. We got back home and headed to the backyard to play before lunch. I put a bit of water in their water table and headed in the house for a wireless speaker to get […] Read more…
What’s In A Word?
Did you choose one? A word? At the beginning of the year, so many people were talking about choosing a word for the year. I remember in 2014 I chose the word BOLD. Believe it or not, I can be a bit of an introvert. Being bold wasn’t an easy thing for me. That’s why […] Read more…
