Words don’t really mean much until you act on them. If you’re like me, you’ve probably said hundreds of things you want to do, but only actually do a handful of them at most (I need more hands than I have to count the New Year’s resolutions I’ve made and not kept…). A few years…

Unity Doesn’t Equal Uniformity
Unity doesn’t mean we have to agree. In fact, I believe we can very strongly disagree, but still be unified. Granted there are some essential issues that make it hard to unify on (sexual abuse and racism are two for me). But if you have a common goal that is bigger than your issues, unification…
October Reflection (2016)
“Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.” ― Margaret J. Wheatley Each month, I set aside a chunk of time to reflect on the previous month: memorable moments, lessons I learned, how I spent my time, how I’m different, who/what I’m grateful for, improvements…
Sorry Not Sorry
Words hold a lot of power. They can be freeing. They can be restricting. They can give life. They can tear down. One little phrase has been on my mind that can be well intentioned, but doesn’t end up always doing a whole lot of good. I’m sorry. Don’t get me wrong. There is a time…

23 Lessons I Learned From 23
22 was a great year for me. So since I can no longer sing Taylor Swift’s wonderful song 22, I decided to make a list of 23 things I’ve learned over my past 23 years (in no particular order). It’s a little long, so I’ll just jump right into it! 1. Sleep is important When…
Don’t Limit Yourself
I don’t know about you, but I have the tendency to write myself off. “Oh, I could never do that” or “Yea, I’m not very good at that.” True, I am not great at everything I do. But often by putting ourselves down, in a sense, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe, even though I…
