When my Mister and I moved in together, decorating came easy. Our tastes mesh well — clean lines and dark furniture, artwork of city skylines. We agreed on getting one feature piece for our new home. While he’s not a huge fan of throw pillows and I could do without surround sound, we both wanted a bookcase. He’s an avid reader and I’m an eager shopper — the combination…
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…
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. Yesterday I flipped through magazines and watched romantic comedies while my Mister studied for his first exam…
Here’s to basking in 5 extra minutes of sleep… to checking out that yoga studio… to reconnecting with an old friend… to dancing in the rain, sunshine & moonlight… to making a risky decision… to trying a new recipe… to loving your body as it is today…
My #reverb10 reflection carries through today. My thoughts on @tea_austen’s prompt from December 17th.
Lesson Learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself in this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward?
Preparing for the holidays is keeping me busy, but I’m grateful to have #reverb10 to keep me cozy. Here’s my response to @samdavidson’s prompt from December 11th.

My #reverb10 response to @finslippy’s prompt from December 5th. Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?
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…
I recently stumbled upon Elsie Flannigan’s creatively delicious blog, A Beautiful Mess and her 4 Simple Goals project. The premise is simple, inspiring and collaborative—just the kind of thing that I adore! My 4 Simple Goals focus on ways to make each day an extraordinary adventure…
Now that summer has arrived and settled in for awhile, I’m counting down the days to bid it farewell. In addition to cooler temperatures, I’ve found myself craving time for yoga, creative pursuits and cooking healthy meals. Thanks to a few remarkable women, I’ve stumbled upon a delightful book about better utilizing the 168 hours in your week…
