It’s good to do uncomfortable things. It’s weight training for life. -Anne Lamott Tires are screeching, you’re running late, breakfast is burned and you have on 2 different socks — It’s juggle time! As you step into the life juggle this week, remember to keep a sense of humor and even find joy in the juggle, […]
Point to Ponder: Do you share your joy everywhere you go? At times I find myself living in my own idealist world, but really I am an optimistic realist. My idealist world does not exist of unicorns and rainbows and everyone frolicking in flower-covered fields with linked arms. I’ve experienced and seen enough life to […]

I love starting my day with hot lemon water in an inspiring coffee cup. About a year ago I began adding a dash of Cayenne pepper for extra cleansing. Breakfast: Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats with organic blueberries. I also made an an over easy egg for extra protein and fat. Snack: […]
Point to Ponder: Do you love yourself as God loves you? Since the New Year, I set a soft goal to find new and meaningful content that would not only challenge, encourage and inspire growth within myself, but that I would also want to share with you. I didn’t take formal goal action, like write […]
Point to Ponder: Is your antenna up for signs that are around you? As you may know, in April 2015 my family learned that we would be moving from Austin to San Diego. My husband accepted a new job and although the thought of leaving Austin was devastating, once I embraced it, I became excited […]
