Moving Through and Finding Your Happy

Earlier this week I wrote about the grief I have experienced with the loss of four young people in my and my family’s lives.  As you move through something like this, and more importantly, as you support your children through something like this, you have to find something to hang onto.  For many people that is creating something in memory…

I Didn’t Know It Wasn’t The Right Time

Today I went back through my posts and read one that I wrote a little over a year ago. It was about my theme for 2021 and a reflection back on the goals I didn’t accomplish in 2020. In the post, I reflect back to the world shutting down when COVID first hit and the year that just seemed to…

Is Fear Holding You Back?

January is drawing to a close, and I realized that I hadn’t shared my monthly theme with you!  As I alluded to in a previous post, for the past few years I have selected a them for the year, a word of the year, and a theme for each month.  I don’t choose any of these in advance.  I choose…
