Don’t Take Things Personally

One of my most difficult life lessons ❤️ Believe it or not the way people treat you is not always about you. Many project internal emotions, ones that that they don’t understand themselves, onto the closest people to them.

For most my life I always felt there was something wrong with me when this would happen. What did I do to make someone treat me poorly or twist my intentions? If they truly…

WORDS ON TAP - A New Adventure Begins

WORDS ON TAP – A New Adventure Begins

Sometimes, we must take a moment to figure out if what you are doing in this life aligns with what you want for this life. That moment for me has been these last few months. While my blog has been quiet, the ideas and the planning have been ongoing. There is so much I want to do that sometimes I overwhelm myself and I get burnt out. Before that happened with writing (again) I decided to take a…

Be the Pebble

I’ve been telling my mom since I was a kid that I was going to be on Oprah and change the world. I was always the dreamer and she knew it. She’d laugh, shake her head and smile and say “you know if anyone can, it’s you.”

Back then I thought in order to do that I’d have to find fame, recognition, and do something huge that everyone could see. I had big plans in my head, big goals I could see, but…

Don’t let the days pass you by, love yourself with impeccable words, authentic truth, without self judgement and fear, free to…

Xcel2Fitness - Training with a Purpose

Xcel2Fitness – Training with a Purpose

I met Barbara Gederian Muckel, Director of Xcel 2 Fitness, at the Beast Bootcamp race, a local obstacle 5k, a few weeks ago after writing about her amazing program for Hometown Happenings. A program that helps to develop confidence, team mentality and grit in grade school age boys. After an instant connection I was so excited to hear there was a way I could support X2F by doing what I love! X2F…

Don’t Pass an Opportunity to Hear Their Story

Today proved once again that faith and love always win. Even in darkness there is always light, if you just look within 🧡 I am incredibly grateful for the people in my life, those I have known for years and those who I’ve only just met.

I met a wonderful man this weekend who braved the nasty weather to run, not because he loves to run (although I’m sure he does) but because of the friendships he…

Choose Growth

Life is full of choices, fun ones, scary ones, big and small. Every time you turn around you have a choice to make and whether it’s as simple as what flavor ice cream you eat or whether to change careers, they are still choices for you alone to make.

So ask yourself, when you are faced with the choice to move forward in your life, to step into your true path, or stay exactly where you are, what…

Take a Step Back

Many times in life we get so wrapped up in a situation, a project or relationship we forget why we began. Sometimes we are so blinded by making whatever we are doing work we lose sight of who we truly are or what we are truly trying to accomplish.

This can be in our work or personal life and sometimes taking a step back is exactly what we need to be successful. We are driven by timelines, smooth…

Start a Cycle of Kindness

One simple gesture, one helpful intention or kind word and one person’s day may be altered for the better. That one person may pass on those same good deeds to another and the cycle continues. In one day you may impact one, ten or a hundred. 🧡

This impact is just as great if you choose to not say a word out of anger, jealousy or hate. Not reacting can have the same affect as reacting. “If you…

Make Memories

I made going somewhere new each year a goal of mine last year and it has evolved into road trips, concerts and unexpected vacations. This year I’ve taken it to a new level and I’m looking forward to an amazing line up of fun, laughter and memories. 🧡

There is so much to experience in this life, don’t limit yourself out of fear. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, just new. Treat your senses to new…

Self Care Includes Sleep

It’s scientifically proven that your mental health affects your physical health, and vice versa, in many ways. It’s easy to overlook and the majority of the time we don’t even realize until we show up to work in our slippers, or insomnia takes over our nights.

Taking care of yourself in all ways mental and physical is so important for your health and your sanity. And while mental breaks,…

Appreciate the Little Things

Appreciate the little things in this life. A laugh with a friend, smile from a stranger, hug from a loved one, quiet drive to work, warm covers in the morning, fresh coffee, long conversations, sunshine on you face and the opportunity to choose how you see things. 🧡

Appreciate the beauty that surrounds you and the love that guides you. It’s the little things that fill your heart and show you just…

Thoughts are Powerful

I had someone ask me yesterday my best tips to boost confidence. I smiled because never did I think I would be one to give out tips on confidence, and I was humbled by the question. It is true that I’ve never been more comfortable in my own skin and fear is no longer in the driver seat, but what could I share to help on those days when your confidence is shaky.

After some thought I realized I may…
