I'm currently sitting at a coffee shop in crunch mode. A few weeks ago I wrapped up the first draft of a book more than 25-years in the making. As I typed the closing words of the final chapter, I felt something was missing. That perhaps my book was an illusion or misrepresentation of grief. … Continue reading Frequency Illusion or Fate
Ode to Motherhood
I somehow did it. My very first and very rough draft is complete. When I think about loss, losing my mom ranks high. Becoming a mom triggered a whole slew of loss, lessons and love for the woman who made me. I've spent years writing about it. This Mother's Day is no exception. For those … Continue reading Ode to Motherhood
Podcast Fun and Writing Deadlines
Things are getting real. This week, a podcast I recorded last month with Coach Kiah came out. I first discovered Kiah by accident on Instagram. Since then, I’ve been a huge fan not only of watching her incredible weight loss journey but also her zest for life and all things farming. Yep. She comes from … Continue reading Podcast Fun and Writing Deadlines
Writing Truths
Things are getting real. A few months ago, I participated in a free writing workshop. This led to me joining a writing group that provides insight, coursework and assistance in writing a book. There’s also a contest in which you can submit a book proposal. I don’t anticipate winning but I do hope to receive … Continue reading Writing Truths
Birthday Magic
This is 44. This is the first birthday I feel legitimately old. As in, aging. Don’t roll your eyes at me and tell me I’m young. I know I’m only 44 and things are bound to get worse but these past few weeks, a series of events have reminded me that I am no longer … Continue reading Birthday Magic

Hey Universe - here I come with another story to tell! I’ve been a bit MIA lately, but for good reason. Last year, I spent a lot of time doing what is known as productive procastination. This year, I called my shot and am busy picking away at it… one painful word at a time. … Continue reading Call Your Shot
Small Changes, Big Results
My first blog post for Another Mother Runner came out this month. It highlighted why New Year’s resolutions don’t work in my world but how taking time out to set your intention for the year or season you are in is a valid exercise regardless of what month the calendar says. This year, I have … Continue reading Small Changes, Big Results
The Missing Piece
It took 16-months of a global pandemic before I finally sat down and did a puzzle. About 95% of the way into it, I discovered a piece was missing. It didn’t matter. I was committed to finishing, missing pieces and all. Like I’ve said before, there’s a fine line between stubborn and stupid. Plugging away … Continue reading The Missing Piece
The Reckoning
Two empty seats at the Christmas Table that'll never be filled, but in the wise words of Pooh, how lucky I am to have had something that makes saying goodbye so hard. Your wings were ready. My heart was not. This quote popped up in my Pinterest feed last night buried between recipes about homemade … Continue reading The Reckoning
5 Favorite Memoirs of 2021
Last week I shared my top 5 favorite personal development books of 2021. This week, I wanted to share a few of my favorite memoirs that I devoured in 2021. I once heard David Axelrod mock David Litt for publishing a memoir about his time speechwriting for Obama because he was so young. Like somehow … Continue reading 5 Favorite Memoirs of 2021
