    #FridayFeels Anything is Possible

    January 13, 2017 - By 

    If you’ve known me for more than a minute or have been following me for a while, you know that I am a pretty open and positive person.  Sure, I have my up days and down days because, well, sometimes shitty things happen. I don’t try to hide the times I’m struggling or ignore things about society that bum me out. I believe that honestly sharing the journey is an important part of my story. Some days, however, I feel a stronger sense of that anything is possible optimism and a surge of positivity that I can’t contain.  It comes…

    #FridayFeels: Free!

    January 6, 2017 - By 

    What would you do with a free day? Imagine what your day might look like if you suddenly didn’t have to do anything that was previously expected of you. Delicious, right? 24 hours of 100% YOUR CHOICE.  I found myself today with just such an opportunity, and I’m using it to catch up on some of the things I’ve been meaning to do but haven’t carved time out for. It’s barely afternoon and I already feel like I’ve accomplished a week’s worth of stuff. Drop off watch for engraving? Check. Schedule plumbers? Check. Grocery shopping (Amazon Fresh for the win!) –…

    #FridayFeels Free/Festive

    December 23, 2016 - By 

    I do love so many things about this time of year: Winter Solstice, My Birthday, Christmas, Holiday Lights, and all of the celebration and reverence for the different sacred holidays.  I love the festive feeling in the air and the excitement of finding special little gifts to give away. I love seeing the best in people, the spirit of generosity, the hope, the joy.   I’ve seen the darker side too, and I know that this is also a very difficult time of year for many people. It can bring up family tensions through forced interactions, and it can put a…

    #FridayFeels Vacation Vibes

    December 9, 2016 - By 

    Last year around this time, my hottie boyfriend and I took off on a fabulous Caribbean cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Haiti. We convinced three other couples to join us for the adventure, and it was an incredible time!  In fact, we loved it so much that we booked another cruise before we left the ship. Our friends maybe thought we were crazy, and they may be right- but we are just crazy enough to do the things together that make us happy.  Today, hottie and I set sail for another exciting cruise. We’ve literally been looking forward…

    #FridayFeels Thankful

    November 25, 2016 - By 

    Sleeping in. Fluffy pillows. Brunch. Leftovers. Naps. Family stories.  Relaxing at Grandma’s house instead of hassling the Black Friday shopping crowd, and thankful to be sitting beside my love today. What are you thankful for?

    #FridayFeels Kind & Compassionate

    November 18, 2016 - By 

    My Friday thoughts:  Kindness and Compassion are choices I can make every day. I know that I’m an optimist and an idealist; people have been telling me so my whole life, as though in pointing out the obvious I will somehow change. But why? Who would benefit from my being less than who I am? I want to live in a world where kindness matters. I want to be around people who are quick to show compassion for others and who model goodness regularly. We’ve all seen enough of people being awful to each other. We’re well aware of what…

    #FridayFeels Sad, But Hopeful

    November 11, 2016 - By 

    If you are feeling sad today, like so many of us are- know that it’s OK. You are allowed to feel what you feel, and though I wish everyone would honor and respect your feelings- they won’t, so you have to. Feelings are primal. They are common to all, but show up in us individually at different times and with different prompting. They are real, and powerful, and valid. So feel whatever it is that YOU feel- and in kind, allow others their feelings though they differ from your own. It’s OK. For me, there is a lot of sadness…
