I’ve written a lot about being busy and prioritizing what’s important. I have a very aspirational nature that comes out in full force through my to-do lists, goals and intentions. I’ve always been someone with many areas of interest, but most of my satisfaction comes from doing a few things really well…
Self-care is an interesting topic. There are many opinions out there, and we often hold varying viewpoints within ourselves. Today’s guest post from Holli takes a close look at these questions. She brings up some great points — most importantly, what works for me might not work for you…
What’s alive in you? For me, it’s new routines taking root. Discovery. Change. A fresh path. On Tuesday, I started a new job with a really amazing company in downtown Raleigh. I cannot even begin to express my delight. My joy. The excitement bubbling up inside. I’ve kept my shifting employment status a bit of a secret on the blog…
Things are turning around here after a couple really tough months. I am rediscovering my very simple, yet completely extraordinary, life. Things have been crazy, but I knew we’d make it to the other side. I think we’re nearly there. It’s the calm after the storm.

As I showered, got dressed and prepared for my day, I let this thought bounce around my mind. The thought finally settled into my heart…
Oh my goodness! Can you feel that? It’s the love, sparkle and magic of summer, blended with extreme joy from your sweet comments. I am in a contemplative, brainstormy mood and created a playlist to match…
I have this vision of my ideal morning. It plays out quite similar to the start of a romantic comedy. An easy Bon Iver song plays in the background. I unfold my skinny arms and legs into a looong stretch. I roll over, shut off the alarm and climb out of bed with a serene smile on my lips…
I came across an email I sent my father a few years ago, back when I was a recent grad embarking on my first real job. I lived alone in San Francisco and had no friends. I worked 70 hour weeks and drove to Napa on the weekends to relax at my grandparent’s home. It was a crazy, beautiful time…
