Hebrews 11:1
”When women support other women, incredible things happen.” Unknown I’ve seen this quote in my social media feed...a lot. I bet you have too. And, why not? It’s inspirational. But is it really what women do? We all want to think so. Right? I have seen two very striking examples this week of that not being... Continue Reading →
It's been a crazy, stress-filled week and a half. I am trying, really hard, to stay calm. Last week ended with finally finishing up a huge project at work that had my anxiety monster going crazy. I didn't get fired (yet) because, like I said, I am crazy. I mean, my anxiety monster is crazy...I might... Continue Reading →
In life, no matter what you are doing; no matter how much experience you have at your job; no matter the advanced degree that require post-nominal acronyms after your name; no matter if you’ve been doing it—whatever it may be—for 4 years or 40 years…there will always be someone who does it better. Or, at... Continue Reading →

My 8-year-old has been wanting her ears pierced for two years. When we stop at Claire's in the mall, she admires the pierced earrings, longing for the day she can wear them. That day finally came this past February. She got brave for a moment. She found the courage to endure the pain of ear... Continue Reading →
Now that I have given up social media (FB, Twitter and Google+) cold turkey I needed a little something to satisfy my mindless surfing and some positive things to think about. I can't quit the internet all at once, ya know. I am tiny house obsessed. Maybe it's the purging instincts in me. And, if... Continue Reading →
Words have power. Words can uplift or destroy. Words inspire me to live a creative life.

Your tween says something so defeating it pierces your soul and you have to wonder, "Who is this kid?!"...then immediately ask, "Where's the nearest boarding school?" Maybe your toddler has been a perfect little Angel all day until...you walk into Target and the melt-down in the cracker isle begins. I mean, the explosive, throw-thy-self-on-the-floor-with-bloodcurdling-screaming-and-crying... Continue Reading →

I took this photo last fall on a trip to Guanella Pass, Colorado. At the summit, it is quiet. As in total silent. Just the wind and my breath. Peaceful and fresh. Smells of snow. Standing on top of the world I realized two things: It's freakin' cold, and I am not alone. I am... Continue Reading →
Last year I took a photography class at the Botanic Gardens (read about it here). Since meeting photographer Cedric Pollet at that class, I now look at bark in a different way. On a hike this summer, I photographed this tree with a bark heart near Mt. Evans, Colorado. Do What Brings You Joy. Add... Continue Reading →
Yesterday in church we prayed over members of our congregation. Members volunteered to step up on the stage and put it all out there confessing their worries, struggles, or illnesses. One by one they asked for prayers for their broken marriage, brain tumor, mental illness, surgery, family loss, single-mommy-ness, depression. These are people, just like... Continue Reading →

So, have you heard of that Broncos quarterback named Tim Tebow? Since I live in Tebow Land, I have heard more than my fair share of Tebow news. The good news is the media is finally taking notice of the Denver Broncos. The bad news is they aren't really paying any attention to the game. ... Continue Reading →
Think Steve Jobs (co-creator of Apple computers, along with Steve Wozniak) and you think S-U-C-C-E-S-S. He began with nothing and created a brand that has become a leader in computer innovation. Undeniably he knows a thing or two about running a mega-successful company. I stumbled across Steve Jobs’ 12 rules of success a few days... Continue Reading →

I read this quote in Whole Living Magazine. I almost bought the magazine just because of it... When I was a teenager I dreamed of going to Paris. (Yes, I know the picture is of Montreal...in Canada, not France.) I even had a poster of the Eiffel Tower hung on my wall next to my... Continue Reading →

Words to live by.
