Ride the wave – grief and joy
Today is a day to celebrate. Today is a day that makes my heart ache. The ebb and flow of my emotions swirls like a rip current. I could panic and get caught up in the overwhelm of opposing emotions, but that would leave me stuck, treading dangerous waters that could...

What’s New + Good?
This is scary, but scary isn’t always bad… I’m challenging myself to new things and opening up myself to new possibilities and I couldn’t be more excited. Welcome to blog posting #1! There are a lot of exciting things happening in my life…creating a new business that...
