For this week’s QW post, I am sharing with you a quote from Dr. Brené Brown’s book Daring Greatly. Her words about who we are and what we know struck a chord deep within me. I’ve been feeling lately like I just want to show up as my truest self and add to the world […]
Change CAN Happen
How do you feel when you believe you are powerless to change something in your life? When I REALLY WANT something to change and feel powerless to make it happen, I feel defeated. I feel the negative self-talk hit me like a sledgehammer… “If I was better/smarter/prettier/etc., then that would have turned out differently.” Or […]
A Step Through
Good morning, everyone! I hope your week has held something special. Today’s QW post comes as a result of the fact that I am still working my way through Michael A. Singer’s book The Untethered Soul. I’ve said this before, but it is truly a work that I cannot just read through and be done […]
A Cup of Coffee
A cup of coffee holds so much more for me than a boost of energy. The first sip of it brings calm. The enjoyment of it helps me organize my thoughts for the day. A cup of coffee can bring the parts of myself together, sometimes like nothing else. I don’t know why this is. […]

It was May 2010 and I was in the 12th mile of my first ever half marathon race. EVERYTHING in me wanted to give up and have the medic vehicle take me to the finish line. I was so hot, so tired, and my legs were cramping up. I did not think I could take […]
Finding That Courage
The quote of the week this morning comes to you from Emmanuel Acho’s new book Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits. So far, this book has been pushing me in ways I didn’t see coming. Acho’s raw honesty has really been speaking to me and I appreciate the passionate way he writes. The […]
Hands
It’s a rainy afternoon. The dog is curled up on the couch next to me, napping the day away. A soft, blue blanket covers my legs. A Harry Potter movie I’ve seen countless times is playing softly in the background. I sit here checking emails and researching things, a vast world available to me from […]
