Read MoreMercy Me
Good morning. I know- it’s been awhile. Life and other things have diverted the energy needed to write these posts. Rather than beat myself up, I am extending some mercy to myself. I have been working on this concept for awhile, and recently I have started co-reading “Hallelujah Anyway:Rediscovering Mercy” by Anne Lamott with…
Read MoreSuicide awareness
Our mental health is something to be aware of and taken care of on a regular basis. Suicide rates are on the rise and depression does not discriminate. It is our job to fight the stigma that prevents people from receiving the proper care that might save their lives. This is a great example of…

Everyday Miracles
My meditation this morning ended with “Every day on this planet is a miracle.” A simple but true way to see the world. Waking up is a miracle. The ice on the trees by the creek is a miracle. Looking out the window on a gorgeous zero degree day while comfortably wearing socks and a…
Read MoreNotice the cycle
Imagine you are walking through your grocery store, I live in the same small town that I grew up in, so going to the grocery store is often like a class and family reunion in one. This is a very real scenario in my life. You see a woman that you graduated with and she…
Read MoreBreath & Intention
Getting back into a routine after the holidays hasn’t been easy this year. The slower pace that I enjoyed during the time off from work has made the mornings seem so early. The goals that I set for the new year seem to be shrinking away from me now that I am getting back into…

Read MoreSelf-Care Inventory
I don’t know about you, but the time change and the colder weather makes me want to come home from work and sit on the couch and watch TV (and eat) all night long. Not that this isn’t fun to do every once in awhile, but it generally leaves me feeling unmotivated and lazy and…
Read MoreReset the day
I struggled this morning. My bed held me captive and when I did wake up, I felt scattered and unfocused, unsure of where to start or what to do. What do you do when you can’t get out of bed on a Monday morning? I was tempted to chalk it up to one of those…
Read MoreWhat is the first thing that you say to yourself when you screw something up? Or are in a new situation with new people? Trying something out of the ordinary? Looking in the mirror? Something like “ I always screw things up.” “I’m not good enough?” “Who do I think I am?” Or…
Read MoreReflection on the First Year of WeWomen
I recently attended a training that was presented by Alice Del Vecchio of Slippery Rock University. She created a process model that is geared at improving the systems and productivity of non-profit organizations. A key part of the model is based on reflection. It encourages us to check on the status of a project in…

Identifying emotional triggers may lead to better reactions
You are more than what you are feeling at this moment. I broke a phone. I actually was angry enough at my boss that I smacked my iPhone off of the corner of my desk until the screen cracked. I look back on that and think how ridiculous that sounds. Even typing it I am…
