Leave it to Brené to start us of with a full-size dose of truth this Monday morning. Courage is such an appealing quality, and we all want to embody it, but it comes at a cost. By definition, courage implies that we have to get uncomfortable, and be willing to tread into territory that is […]

In this week’s earlier post, we got out the shovel and did some digging. We went deep, y’all, and got into some big questions about what makes us tick, and why it can be so hard to just follow that beat and be ourselves. Authenticity is so magnetic in other people (even if the expression

Everybody loves a sure thing. Risk is uncomfortable, and scary, and sometimes even illogical. Nobody likes getting hurt, looking stupid, or worst of all, feeling regret. So when it comes to venturing into the unknown, we get – well, you know – clingy. We don’t so much mind the reaching out part, but we want to
They say that it can be stranger than fiction. Sometimes it hurts. Allegedly, it can also set you free. It is critically important, whenever possible, to speak it to “power.” How can one thing be and do all of this, and probably more? Even more so, how can one thing that is capable of all
Carrying our theme about decisions into this week for just a minute…this quote caught my eye recently and got me thinking. Last week, we talked about challenging choices, and how they sometimes aren’t as much of a struggle as you might think they are; it’s just a question of checking in to your intuition – your

Hello! Sometimes we start the weekly off gently, and other other times we need a bit more of an emphatic launch. This quote from Rumi, whose writing was often more on the gentle side, is actually more the latter this Monday. No matter how bleary you may be feeling at this exact moment, it will pass.

Hey there! Hope you had a great weekend. I’ve been giving some thought to limitations, lately, and the role we play in creating them for ourselves. I love this quote because it implies that the fears we take for granted as being protective in some way might actually, in some cases, be our heart simply

A few weeks ago, I shared an Emerson quote about bravery. It implied that courage isn’t necessarily an exceptional trait, but that the bravest among us are those who simply maintain it “five minutes longer.” On this blog, we talk a lot about making intentional choices, especially in the face of discomfort. Today in the

Good morning ! A little Monday motivation here in keeping with our theme from last week of managing discomfort (and enabling growth) through mindfulness. Sometimes the difference between a “hero” and someone who doesn’t seem like one is just the willingness to not give up. Every single one of us can be courageous, intrepid, and even

There’s this saying in the world that you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone, which I think may be the case sometimes. I also think, though, that the opposite can be true. There are moments in life when we think we know exactly what we want, and do everything in our power to
