The Space that Made Us
As I reflect back on the years spent in our first apartment, I recall the many ways in which our that place set the foundation for our marriage, but also held space to learn, stretch, and grow in more ways than we could have imagined.
It’s Been a While. Let’s Catch Up!
I’ve been focusing less on my professional life, and more on myself, my relationships, and cultivating a full, vibrant, and rich personal life. Here is a quick drive-by of all that’s happened in my life since we last connected.
Creating Healthy and Balanced Habits Inspired by Natural Seasons
With the cool and crisp dawn of Autumn, my favourite season, I’m reminded of the beauty and wisdom that comes with building a healthy, balanced life that models the rhythms and rituals of nature’s seasons.
Making Meaningful Changes to this Blog
This blog is where I come back to the drawing board. To once again let my creative juices to flow, flex my writing muscles and photography chops, and cultivate a community.
Working Remotely from Italy
I’ve spent six glorious weeks in Italy - not on vacation. I’ve been working remotely. Because, despite the collective crisis we’ve all faced over the last year and a half, there are tangible and transformational opportunities that can be found, cultivated, and leveraged in the aftermath of this pandemic. Remote work is one of those opportunities.
Why I Sold My Startup
I’ve decided to step down as the CEO of my own company. Here’s why, and what I’ll be doing next.
Home for Thanksgiving
After the tumultuous year it’s been, this Thanksgiving was everything I needed. Between an all-hands-on-deck dinner with family, to celebrating a relaxing, intimate anniversary with my husband, to spending time in nature, we were able to truly unwind and dial in with the people who mean the most to us.
Stepping Into a New Season
And, for the first time in 5 years, this October, I’m not hopping from airport to airport, plane to plane, travelling from one city or country to the next. Normally, this month is full of adventure and the thrill of the unknown. But, in its own way, this year is no different. I’m stepping into a new season.
Protecting Your Peace Amidst Chaos
When I reflected on this Fall season, I knew that I needed to make some changes in my life. I needed to find rest that wasn’t just based on superficial self-care rituals, like face masks or bubble baths. I needed something deeply rooted in mindfulness and intentionality - I needed my Sundays to be slow, simple, and sacred.
Embracing a Simple Life Without Social Media
As of the end of this month, I will no longer have a personal Facebook or Instagram account. On this September Sunday, I want to talk about something so grossly underrated, yet is the very reason I came to this bittersweet decision - simplicity.
The Toxic Side of Binge Scrolling on Social Media
I know too much. And, chances are, so do you. Although I enjoy “staying in touch” with distant family, old friends, and random acquaintances, the honest truth is, it’s probably better that I not.
What To Do When Life Feels Unsettled
I feel paralyzed by my complete and utter lack of control. And yes, I’m aware that no one ever really has any control in their life, but for the most part, you have some semblance of normality, routine, and a plan. I don’t have any of that, and I hate this feeling.
My Favourite Way to Stay Connected Online
As a writer, I have to write. It’s the only way I know how to best express how I’m really feeling. And, the best way I know to articulate those feelings to you. Whether someone cares to read this or not, doesn’t matter - I just have to write something.
Here’s Why I’m Blogging…Again.
Here I am again…back to blogging. For myself, and for you, my internet friends. Not for a brand. Not to be picked up, found, and ranked by SEO on Google. Not to peddle products, or establish myself as an influencer of any sorts. But, solely to express myself. To let my racing thoughts find some semblance of structure and a home in which to dwell.
