Resistance – How it shows up and keeps us stuck
A few years back, I had resistance to working with a coach to do some deep work. I had two main fears: 1) What if I surpassed my husband in terms of personal growth, ruining the possibility for us to [...]
Being tired is a Choice: Shift from exhausted to energetic 🙂
Happy Sunday! For the past 5 days, we hosted two girls from The Young Americans (YA) while our daughter did her first YA workshop. We chose to be a "home-stay" family (aka host) in hopes it would do two things [...]
Soul Space Decluttering
Soul Space… Spaces where you find what you want when you want it. Where you have what you need at your fingertips. Space to think, to be, to feel, to connect. To feel alive, to breathe deeply, have restful sleep, [...]
Why I’m doing a [ONE-YEAR BAN] on buying books or courses (and creating a Little Free Library)
Though I live simply, I’ve had one vice that’s been strong since my 20’s – buying books. When our family of three moved into our current home in 2009, we came with 23 bookcases - some 4’x8’, some 3’x6’, some [...]
Are books becoming obsolete? Attention – book lovers!

I wasn't in the flow today. I'm not sure what tipped me off first - the guy abruptly backing into my car while I waited at the stop sign, or my windshield wiper flying off as I drove down the [...]
Less = More. Simplify Your Wardrobe To 33 Items
My resistance surprised me. I'd been finalizing my website, so my delay in starting this challenge on June 1st was reasonably justified, but beyond that, I really procrastinated mentally. My inner voice kept telling me there was no way I [...]
Project 333 Challenge, Day 2
Let the sorting begin! I started the day going to an estate sale, followed by a long morning walk. When I got home, the sorting process began upstairs where I had corporate, winter and summer items mixed in. Many items [...]
Taking on The Project 333 Challenge – Minimizing My Wardrobe
“Can you live with a total of 33 items of clothing and accessories for 90 days?” I’ve been claiming for years that I want to live more simply, to have less stuff distracting me, and to feel more empowered and [...]
Are You Listening to Your Intuition?
It’s critical we pay attention to our intuitive hits, the first time. Ever feel like you're starting from scratch on something that you thought you had under control? Whether it's your weight, quieting your inner critic, getting into physical shape, [...]
