Sometimes being an adult can really suck – dishes, laundry, bills, work, responsibilities – they all pile up and keep coming like a runaway train. We can’t always take a vacation day (or week or, let’s be honest, a month) when we get stressed out so it’s always a good idea to have some fun…

Five Minutes to Greatness
Do you ever feel overwhelmed? Stressed out and anxious – especially when looking at your to-do list, project lists, goals, or general environment? I know I do. I was telling my therapist a few weeks ago that exercise and decluttering my messy apartment felt insurmountable. Like I just couldn’t get past this unseen hump of…
10 Sneaky Ways to Fit in Self-Care

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018
Ah, another year is coming to a close. It’s out with the old and in with the new, that weird old man is retiring and baby new year is bouncing onto the scene. Side note: how does that baby age so much in one year? Okay, back on track. This is my last post…

Now I am not one to…
How I Got Out of My Planner Funk
At the beginning of the year I bought a new planner and was so excited to start using it, but around the middle of the year, it had lost its luster for me. It wasn’t working….for me. Now, this has happened in the past, I have tried all sorts of planners and types of planning…
Let’s Get a Little Real
So, today I’d like to slow things down and get a little real. The past few years have been hard for me, personally. I lost my older sister three years ago to pancreatic cancer. I miscarried a very wanted baby girl two years ago. And my sweet five-year-old started kindergarten. And if you think that…
Muse? Muse? Where are you Muse?
I’m stuck and feeling bored. I’m tired of revising my novel. I’m tired of not writing new words. I’m fed up and my muse has all but left me alone and desperate. I feel like a bad writer and I want to just give up. Luckily for me, I have amazing supporters. My mom and…
I’m Fat, I love Yoga…and You Can Too!
So, you just read that title and rolled your eyes, didn’t you? That’s okay, a few years ago, I would have done the same thing, but now – I practice yoga four or five times a week, and yes I’m still fat. LAST ONE PICKED IN GYM I have always hated exercise, and gym class…
