I might have a problem. I think I’m okay with admitting that. So here goes my confession. I am way too into podcasts! A first, I thought it was because I work from home and the podcasts fill in for office chatter. It’s also a great way to catch up on the news quickly without […] Read more…

Do You Have A Sunday Reset
The weekends are too short. There’s no way around that. It’s like the minute you settle into it and start to relax – it’s over. I’m all for the four-day work week and three-day weekends. Who do I need to talk to to make that happen? Do we need a petition? Once Sunday comes around […] Read more…
Is Self Care Stressing You?
I don’t know about you but my timelines are filled with someone talking about self care. There’s so much chatter about how important it is. Talks about how it’s sacred, not selfish. Let me say, I’m one of those people. I’m all for it. I’m all for the message of taking care of you being […] Read more…
Have You Heard of This? It’s Everything.
Everything is already a thing and then someone gives it a name. Let me explain what I mean. It seems as if I come across a lot of self-care content. The algorithms are working, I suppose. Some of the stuff is useful and I can totally relate too. Others, I’m shocked that it’s even a […] Read more…
The Power of Our Gifts
Over the last few months, some bombshells have been dropped in the music world. I think I first heard that Celine Dion has a rare condition that causes spasms and makes it hard for her to sing. Then I heard about the legendary Roberta Flack being diagnosed with ALS and unable to really talk, let […] Read more…
And then I Had to Be Consistent
It’s the third month of the year already. I’m not sure how we’re already in March but here we are. January and February were flashes in the pan. I didn’t head into this year with huge resolutions. Instead, I’ve been more focused on being consistent in my life in ways that really matter. I’m paying […] Read more…
TV as self-care? Yup.
There are days. Those days that we are deep in a funk and need to shake it. On those days, I usually turn to music. Music is my thing and I can always find a song to get me right and lift my spirits. The situation may require a dance party or a full-on gospel-fueled […] Read more…
What to Do When You Feel Stuck
Stuck. That’s how I felt. It could be that I was trying to do too much or that I had too much to do. I’m not sure. What I know is that it helped when I stopped trying to make it perfect and focused on making progress. Even baby steps. They count. They matter. I […] Read more…
The Case for Celebrating Yourself
There’s no one more critical of us than we are of ourselves. It’s a good thing when it pushes us to be better. When we expect more for ourselves and push to get there, that’s not a bad thing. The tables turn when we are so critical that we only believe the worst of ourselves. […] Read more…
Things I’m Manifesting in this New Year
Every year there’s a debate about resolutions. Do we make them or not? Do we instead choose a word for the year? Or do we let the year roll out as it does and go with the flow? Well, I have done all of the above at some point. I find that resolutions aren’t really […] Read more…
