Welcome to My Blog
“Listening to your heart’s desires isn’t some new concept… it’s not my idea… it’s in centuries old teachings. My friends on this site have modernized and mastered it. They’re my inspiration. My journey, has been about aligning my life and being open to receive what’s in my heart. It needs to be a daily practice for dreams, wants, and hopes to come to pass. That’s alignment. ” - Tanya Bittner
Let’s Get REAL
Divorce isn't over when the marriage is, or even when the judgement is signed. It keeps going and going and going. Sometimes I have advice and sometimes I need to get real and vent too. It's more relatable and authentic that way any way. In honor of my bad ass, take...
January Feels
Can't believe there's five years of content on this blog! Writing here has helped me get through some tough times, that's for sure. Maybe the posts have even helped some of you, too. This new month and new year F E E L so different though. I don't just believe...
All you have is now
I listened to an Oprah's SuperSoul Conversations' podcast yesterday with Harvard trained --positivity psychologist, Shawn Achor. It's nothing short of brilliant: "Happiness is a choice and we're not shackled to our unhappy genes". Wait what? So: You can be happy even...
2018
I can't wait for you. Sure, 2017 has been filled with breathtaking highs and devastating lows... all the makings of a memorable year. But, in 2018... I'm practicing a slower, more deliberate life pace. Focused, driven, peaceful leading, ambitious, kind... and steady...
Praying and Knowing
Sometimes it's all you can do. Pray. You know your heart, and what's in it. God does too. I know and love that God knows our every thought, dream, and desire. He knows. So, when times get tough, when you are misunderstood, demonized, and when you are vilified - God...
Scream
Update 1.1.18: Letting it all go :). I don't know where to begin. Every time something happens that makes me want to scream, I feel compelled to write about it. Of course I actually scream too, but then only a few people hear me. This way, here, more of you get the...
Walks, marriage and #reallife
Brad and I have been hiking and/or walking together almost every day the last two months - like, I'm talking l o n g walks... four-to-six miles *each time* we head out together. Once we wondered seven miles. Into a different city. In 100 degree heat. So we stopped for...
You’re over thinking it
Don't take action right away. Get some rest. Clear your mind. Meditate. Change the focus. Think about someone less fortunate than you. Soften. Breathe deeply. Soften some more. Encourage. Uplift. Get busy. Sleep on it. Then, leading without judgment, and with an open...
Stop it already…
Warning: This is a rant of sorts as back-to-school/activities resume - feeling perplexed by the dialogues I'm hearing lately... Folks are still physically under several feet of water (from hurricanes and flooding) - can you IMAGINE??? Homes and lives are threatened by...
Afraid? Nervous? Me too!
Totally! Like, 10-15 minutes before I wrote this, I was the exact opposite of "zen". (Note: The picture here was taken on the weekend but it captures my current vibe - the "after I told my ego to get lost" self :)). YES - I get nervous, worried, in-my-head, full of...
