Oof, this morning was one of those mornings that I just did not have much energy. The alarm went off at 5:00 as usual but I just felt tired and groggy. Ended up hitting the snooze button a couple times. More than really feeling "sleepy", my body just felt kind of heavy and tired. I got… Continue reading Stop When You’re Done

Word of the Year: Intentionality
It’s so hard to believe, but being June, it means the year is basically about half over. Obviously, this has been a WEIRD (oh, so very weird) year, but, I guess I don’t think we necessarily have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Surely there must be some good things we can still accomplish,… Continue reading Word of the Year: Intentionality
Why Complain
Well, things sure change fast sometimes. I had a great weekend- that fun yet productive summer day and night on Saturday, and then a sort of lazier day yesterday filled with a good amount of relaxing time, Chipotle for lunch, a couple of TV shows, catching up on some work out on the deck and… Continue reading Why Complain
Making a Difference: The Starfish Story
I slept in today until 7:30 and it's a beautiful Saturday morning. I'm sitting on the deck, sipping my tea and enjoying the sight of both a female AND male cardinal on the tree branch in front of me.

A book that would probably be flying off the shelves by millions of wild-eyed parents, envisioning their little Johnny’s name in lights. The fame! The fortune! The scholarships! Who knows, maybe this book already exists! If not, someone is probably… Continue reading How to Raise A Pro Athlete
My Gratitude Journey
My cover or "theme" photo for this blog and a picture I feel sort of embodies this whole gratitude movement to me. This photo was taken in Canyonlands National Park, Utah last August while I was vacationing with my family. It was one of those moments that I just felt overwhelmed by the vast openness… Continue reading My Gratitude Journey

The Parable of the Mexican Fisherman
Valle de Bravo, MexicoToday, in honor of Cinco de Mayo yesterday, I want to share my favorite parable about a Mexican fisherman. But first, I feel obligated to share a very brief history lesson (Spanish major = I took a bunch of classes on Latin American history in college + I'm married to a Mexican 😊). I… Continue reading The Parable of the Mexican Fisherman
Some Wisdom on Wednesday: “5 am Joel”, “How to Money” and kind people
Today I would like to share some little nuggets of wisdom to brighten your day. A few months ago, I listened to a podcast that I enjoy greatly called "How to Money (link to their website here.)
