It's Okay If The Days Are Still Hard For You, They Are For Me Too
Today is another day without energy or motivation. Maybe you’re tired of hearing this from my blogs, I’m tired of feeling this way. My husband and I recently took our delayed honeymoon. Like many people during COVID, our plans have pivoted and changed. During our trip to Arizona, we decided to enjoy a WNBA game. […]
You Are So Incredibly Capable
You are capable of more than you know. Believe in yourself. A few weeks back, I had to record a presentation for a virtual summit. The day that I had to record was a rough one emotionally, I was not feeling up to speak, I had a rough night the night before grieving my mom. […]
One Day Joy Will Feel More Joyful
I never really thought about losing a parent until thinking about it was my only choice. I never really thought about the immense impact the loss would have on my life. Nothing is quite the same, yet everything has to move forward and that never quite makes sense to me. I have a few friends […]
Others May Not Believe in Your Dreams, Keep Believing in Yourself Anyway
I can still get discouraged easily. It’s hard when you have poured your whole heart and effort into a project, and for people to question it or tell you no. This may seem similar to you. You may have a dream or goal that people tell you that you can’t reach. They may not believe […]

Take Care of You First
There will always be work to do. Take care of you first. This weekend I decided to dedicate time to myself for self-care. 2021 has been incredibly tiring and has truly been an emotional rollercoaster. The effects of it all have been catching up to me and I’m feeling the exhaustion from it all. We […]
Keep Checking In On Others
Keep checking in on those around you. You never know who needs it. We are so good about it in the beginning, when someone experiences a loss, a trauma, or a breakup, we are so good in the beginning about checking in, seeing how that person is doing. In time though, we stop. We stop […]
You Can Talk About Your Pain
Yesterday I wrote a pretty long post on my personal page about my mom. It had been one month since my mom passed away. I can’t believe it’s been a month. I felt compelled to share the story – to share my pain during the 36 hours before, during, and after her death. I think […]
You Will Find Yourself Again
Since my mom’s diagnosis of cancer, I always felt like I had lost pieces of myself. Since she passed away, I know for sure I have lost pieces of myself. I feel less motivated, I feel less joy, less excitement, and less gratitude for life itself. This journey has been a confusing one for me. […]
Celebration of Life
This weekend we got to celebrate the life of my mom. We celebrated life in the most beautiful way. Typically, when people die there is a wake, a funeral and a repass. My mom was sure that she wanted none of that. My mom wanted a party where people could celebrate the life she lived. […]
