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…
October 29, 2013 was the first day that I remember really crying at work. Like…couldn’t stop, heaving, sobbing, ugly crying. I had to leave and go home and sometimes I couldn’t even see through my tears to drive. I sat at my neighbor, Julie’s, house sobbing until school pickup. I couldn’t even answer my phone. She had to do it.…
Remember how I put out there a couple months ago that I had this Big Idea and I was SO excited but couldn’t tell anyone about it yet? Here it is, kids! After 19 years, I am leaving Blank Children’s Hospital on a full-time basis. I am going to be running summer camps for kids and doing wellness coaching, leading…
It is very timely that today’s topic, which I planned out a couple weeks ago, is on Overcoming Barriers because this past week has been a huge exercise in that for me. So much so that I missed a blog post last week, keeping up on a course I’m taking, and several things I had planned to do over the…

You Guys!! I am so excited! Have you ever come up with an idea that had you so excited you couldn’t sleep and could hardly do anything else because all you wanted to do was plan and work on and create the idea? That was me this week. I have had this restlessness in me for a long time—like a…
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…
Each year for the past couple of years, I have picked a theme for the year. This theme is something that I feel reflects where I have been over the previous year and where I want to go in the coming year. It is usually an area that I think I need to work on and that can help me…
