Heavy Loads
I was meditating this morning and the prompt in this particular guided mediation was, "What heavy load are you carrying right now?" Although I wanted to laugh out loud, I didn't, but it did bring a huge smile to my face as I thought, "Oh, maybe just a few things!"...
Motivational Monday!
This is the week that we actually move! Everything leading up to this week has been packing, purging, and changing addresses. Maybe you have been there once or twice? It's not really a whole lot of fun. My and Doug's minds have been on overload—do this, cancel that,...

Say, “Ahh”
I was at the dentist the other day, and to be completely transparent, I don't really love this dentist office. The dentist is good, but the dental assistants are not nice. I knew this going in—and this one particular assistant did not disappoint! As I sat in the chair...

Motivational Monday!
It's tax day AND a Monday—a double whammy! If you owe, I'm really sorry to hear that. If you got a refund, WOOHOO! How exciting is that? What are your plans? And if you're neither, CONGRATULATIONS! That's truly the best situations to be in, but few see it that way....

"The first stage of learning is silence, the second stage is listening." —Solomon ibn Gabirol (this is an adaptation of a larger quote). If you know me personally, even just a little bit, you know that I talk a lot! Some would argue, myself included, too much! But you...
The Apple or The Eggplant
Recently, I cut open an apple and it was rotten on the inside. The outside of that apple was absolutely beautiful, so you can imagine my disappointment when I saw the brown rot. A day or two later I cut open an eggplant and I discovered the same thing! The beautiful...
