Yesterday’s prompt on The Mindfulist got me thinking about ways I can simplify my life. Are there things, feelings, habits or to-do’s that I could wash away with no (or very little) impact? Am I using words, snacks, email and reality TV to fill in gaps that would otherwise be inhabited by empty space and silence? Of course, one hundred times YES to all these questions…
It’s a rainy Sunday here in Raleigh—and I’m grateful to have some time to sneak off to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. My mister and I spent the weekend with his lovely mom who came in town for a visit. After a quiet week online, I’m excited about today’s Sparklista Sunday…
Hello friends! I have missed you dearly these last few days. Work has picked up to warp speed, which is a challenge I’m grateful to face these days. The only downside of having so much effort and creative juice go towards professional pursuits is that I’ve had very little time to spend in other areas. Here’s a little inspiration from me to you. Know that I’m quietly sending you vibes of love…

I am planning on an extra productive weekend ahead. I hope the following creative to-do’s inspire extraordinarily joyful weekends for all of you. As always, I would love it if you shared your plans…
There are times when a brave and happy face will only take you so far. These are the times when the best course of action is to sit quietly, think about the bits of our lives that we can control, and send love out into the universe. I work in a people-facing profession—I ask questions, make connections, tell stories, provide advice, seek answers and hope to help guide folks…
Today was one of those challenging days. I planned on waking up early, so I could do my hair and answer a few emails before taking on the world. Instead, I snoozed for an hour and rolled out of bed at the last possible second. Instead of manufacturing an essence of joy and sparkle, I’m borrowing borrowing bits of inspiration…
Welcome to Sparklista Sundays—a fresh new series of interviews with creative and inspiring folks on the web. Maryam from Pamplemousse 1983 was last week’s Sparklista. This week I’m excited to feature Carolyn from Hang On Little Tomato. She and I first connected through Twitter, and have built a lovely blog-friendship over the past year…
Hey there sweet friends! I hope you’re enjoying a delightful day. Mine has been quite nice—I’m celebrating my 1-Year Blogiversary and a promotion at work. Tonight my mister and I are going out for a fun dinner at a local hibachi joint to revel in the exciting happenings. Thanks to all of you who have followed me on this past year’s journey…
Today marks my 32nd Day of Sparkle. Thanks to all of you who have joined me in the final month of my first year blogging. It’s been quite a journey since my first post—and I’m filled with gratitude for this loving, creative and sparkly online community. Speaking of shimmer and sparkle, are you curious to know who won last week’s giveaway?
