You are what you think. Mind over matter. Think it, be it. Yes, you’ve heard the phrases, but the idea is the same…our thoughts help shape who we are. After the trauma and shame of the first few years of my panic attacks started to taper off, I found myself wanting to know more about … More My Mind is Playing Tricks On Me
Happy New Year! After realizing that it was January 3rd and my outdoor Christmas lights were still on, I reluctantly pulled the plug and slowly started the process of un-decorating. It’s been frigid cold here in the Southeast (they are predicting snow in Savannah!!!) and it’s been pajamas for days here in the house. The … More Lift the Shade
*Fear of flying continues to be one of the most common anxieties today. I wrote this post a couple of months ago while flying home to Atlanta from Jacksonville, FL. I know that all you fearful flyers will be able to relate! I’m working on it…and I know you are too! With every flight I … More Up in the Air
Right now they are all the rage. You know what I’m talking about…the shirts. The ones with all the words. The statement tees. I have a bunch…Mind Over Matter. Keep Calm and (fill-in-the-blank). Good Times and Tan Lines. But First…Coffee. Namast’ay At Home. I Really Want Abs (…olutely all the tacos). Okay, that last one still … More Shirts That Say Things
*I wrote this post back in early January and never ended up posting it. I felt like time had passed and it was irrelevant after a couple of weeks. It has been a busy, but positive couple of months since. But I still feel like it’s important to share where I’ve been. Plus, I haven’t … More Project Me
The last time I flew in an airplane, I wrote my heart out for two hours straight. But when I failed to realize that my phone coverage didn’t extend beyond my home country, consequently, all was lost. What I did realize, however, is that despite my loss, the benefit from the process still remained. … More What if You Fly?
Dear Mr. Trump, First of all, congrats on an astounding win last night. You’ve just been hired for a new job, and man it’s a BIG one. I can’t imagine what it was like to wake up in your shoes today. You probably haven’t slept at all, actually. No way I would’ve been able to, … More A Letter to our Future President
We say it every time we travel. We can totally make this dish at home! We can decorate our backyard like this! We need to remember to carve out time like this for each other at home! And then we go home. We fall back into the same routine, get hit with the same everyday … More These Dreams (and Realities)
I did it. I wrote the most soulful, harrowing, genuine, clarity-filled post I had ever written. And then I lost it. As we prepared for our upcoming anniversary trip down here to Tulum, Mexico (where I sit at this very moment, absorbed in a tropical beach-dream come true), I had been planning to write this … More A Loss of Words
I hesitated to write this post at first, but as I shuffled around speed-cleaning the house, the thoughts kept bubbling up, the words wanting to burst out of my head. So here I am, typing away instead of weeding through my children’s clothes to find the things they’ve outgrown (like I had planned). But as … More Pardon My French
