Moving On

February 24, 2023 Posted in ReflectionsLeave a comment

Many, many moons ago I started this blog as a place to share my trip around Lake Superior. It was 2011 and I was taking a 9-day road trip with my hubby and dog around the greatest of Great Lakes before starting a new job in rural healthcare. It seems appropriate to be sitting near…… Continue reading Moving On

Pre-Orders Now Available

January 26, 2023January 22, 2023 Posted in Grief, Reflections, Rural Ramblings, Writing Journey4 Comments

My advanced copies of my book Now What? Navigating Life After Loss arrived last week. At first, I couldn’t open the box. When I did, I was struck with panic. Then fear. And finally, a moment of relief. I started this story nearly 27-years ago when I lost my mom. Over and over again I’ve…… Continue reading Pre-Orders Now Available

Daring Greatly

January 13, 2023January 10, 2023 Posted in Reflections, Rural Ramblings, Writing JourneyLeave a comment

The Rock kicked off the New Year by sharing this quote: “One day or day one.” Over the holidays, I re-read Daring Greatly. The timing seemed appropriate, given I’m launching a book that’s filled with stories about some of the toughest moments in my life and to say I’m feeling vulnerable is an understatement. That…… Continue reading Daring Greatly

2023 Intention

December 31, 2022December 29, 2022 Posted in Reflections, Rural RamblingsLeave a comment

I entered 2022 with an intention of enough. To tackle my life from a place of abundance. To quit chasing the constant grind of more and recognize that perhaps I, and my life, are enough. This intention didn’t discount my hopes, dreams or desire to continue evolving – but I discovered over the past 365…… Continue reading 2023 Intention

Rule Breaking Elf

December 15, 2022December 9, 2022 Posted in Reflections, Rural Ramblings, What I'm Reading, Writing JourneyLeave a comment

Elf on the Shelf always used to annoy me. As if, come December, I need a magical man running around my house making it a mess when I’ve already got a few of them living with me year-round. Last year, my amazing daycare really revved up the Elf and all his magic. It was great…… Continue reading Rule Breaking Elf

Keeping It Real

November 30, 2022November 29, 2022 Posted in ReflectionsLeave a comment

Thanksgiving marks the height of Deer Season in northern Wisconsin. Or, in our house, tree hunting. The 4th Saturday of every year, my family drives around the county forest looking for the perfect, imperfect Christmas Tree. I’ve come to accept that parameter, given the other two major parameters we’re seeking. Big – as in up…… Continue reading Keeping It Real

Fourteen Years and Counting

October 11, 2022 Posted in ReflectionsLeave a comment

Today marks 14-years of marriage. I cannot help but replay that day over in my head and ask, if I could do it all over again, would I? The answer, even after all of these years, is still a solid yes. My dad, who was often times a man of few words, said something to…… Continue reading Fourteen Years and Counting

Stop the Madness!

October 6, 2022October 28, 2022 Posted in ReflectionsLeave a comment

Inside retail stores, you would think Christmas was just around the corner… I thought I’d post about my fall trip to the UP of Michigan. Absolutely spectacular. But instead, I have an ax to grind with retail. STOP SEASON JUMPING. I kicked off my vacation by spending the day with Steve. We planned a leisurely…… Continue reading Stop the Madness!

Finitude

September 16, 2022October 28, 2022 Posted in Grief, ReflectionsLeave a comment

Finitude: The state of having a limit or end. That word has been weighing heavily on me the past few weeks. The Universe not so kindly reminded me that our time here on Earth is finite when she took a coworker much too young from my world. Today we said goodbye to her with a…… Continue reading Finitude

Moonrise on Moon Lake

September 5, 2022 Posted in ReflectionsLeave a comment

This post will be brief. Last week, the Universe reminded me yet again that our time here is not guaranteed — that in fact sometimes life is not fair. Sometimes things don’t happen for a reason. Instead, horribly sad things happen to beautiful people. I watched from afar as the universe claimed a beautiful soul…… Continue reading Moonrise on Moon Lake
