Growth. That was my word for 2017. Even when I didn't want it. Especially when I didn't want it. This was the year that forced me to face some pretty terrifying demons. I've learned more about myself this year than I have in the past ten. I met (and learned from)...
In Jen Pastiloff's retreats and workshops, she has a prompt that asks: What are you saying "yes" to? In our lives, we say no to so much. Fear, anxiety, and depression keep us from saying yes even when we want to, and I am no stranger to saying no because yes is far...
When I booked Jen Pastiloff's Manifestation retreat for myself, I wasn't entirely sure what to prepare myself for. I'd been to Jen's one-day workshop, and had my heart cracked open in just a few short hours. I knew that I wanted an excuse/reason to visit Italy again...
"You are a mighty manifestation machine!" This is what my friend Nadia said to me one time a couple years ago, after we were discussion all that life had brought my way. Until the last few years, I didn't realize how strong of a force believing things into being, or...
2016, you've been...like an ex-boyfriend that has taught me much about myself but someone I don't ever want to revisit. But like any relationship, it did have some lessons. Since I've been terrible about journaling or keeping any sort of record, here's what I can...
"Now I'll get to the part that you're really wanting to know, which is, yes, Grayson is on the Autism Spectrum, grouped under the high-functioning area of autism, but he is considered to be on the spectrum." Grayson is on the Autism Spectrum. I think I said that...
There's something about the arrival of summer that makes me miss my grandfather, or Grandaddy, as he was affectionately known, like the dickens. Maybe it's the arrival of fresh tomatoes and green beans in the grocery store or the smell that the grass emits when it's...
One year ago I wasn't in a very good place. I was struggling mentally, physically and emotionally. My body was readjusting to my new normal after giving up breastfeeding Alex, and I spent the first couple months of 2015 in a dark place that I wasn't sure I'd ever get...
Next Monday, Grayson starts kindergarten. As I sit and try to actually grasp this huge change, I am reminded of--and amazed by-- all the kids who start school each year, and how their parents don't sob uncontrollably all day every day leading up to this great event....
In light of my upcoming 31st birthday, I've been thinking a lot about people and how we become the way we are. Some people know they're born for certain things and/or are certain about who they are early. I am not one of those people. Sure, I've always had quirky...
