I’m so bad about implementing this, so I’m writing it down to remind myself more than anything.… It really takes no time at all for a clean house to suddenly look like tornado came through it. So when we walk by yesterday’s outfit reject and it would take less than 60 seconds to hang itContinue reading “If it take less than 60 seconds….”

Get in the Woods
A lot of the world’s problems can be solved as far as you can tell by just removing yourself from them for a minute. When the world feels a little heavy, the whirlwind of daily life runs you, or when it feels like every single decision is on your shoulders… Go to the woods. TakeContinue reading “Get in the Woods”
When You Can’t Do What You Said You’d Do…
Have you ever borrowed money from a friend or family member? Have you ever gotten in a tight spot and can’t pay it back like you said you would? What do you do then? Well, you don’t ignore it. You don’t keep going out to eat and buying custom monogrammed blankets for your kids, youContinue reading “When You Can’t Do What You Said You’d Do…”
Do Friendships Have Seasons?
Do our friendships change? Sure they do and for a lot of different reasons. Not always bad reasons, but change is change. When I got pregnant with my son at eighteen I lived this. My friendships changed because I changed. I wasn’t headed to college, I wasn’t partying every weekend…I just wasn’t in the sameContinue reading “Do Friendships Have Seasons?”
Is it Okay to Say No?
If someone asks you to do something or if they can have something is it okay to say no? Absolutely it is. I feel like there’s this pressure to please others while displeasing ourselves, like it’s our penance to pay for unrelated things. I was raised Catholic, so doing “things” to make up for sinsContinue reading “Is it Okay to Say No?”
The devil Doesn’t Go After What He Already Has
Chew on that for a minute. Hopefully, we’ve all felt some type of spiritual, internal struggle and warfare going on at some point in our lives. I think that’s a good emotion, having a conscience and all. I would feel safe saying that most crappy people know they do crappy things and don’t care andContinue reading “The devil Doesn’t Go After What He Already Has”
Why God Made Dogs (and maybe cats)
I was born 43+ years ago, oldest of five kids, married at 18, got divorced, then I raised two kids. They’re both out of the house, my youngest is in college and my oldest is starting his own family. And I have not once ever had my own dog. Sure, we had dogs growing up,Continue reading “Why God Made Dogs (and maybe cats)”
The Law of Firsts
We all remember “the first time” we learned something, saw something, or experienced something memorable. That new information filled that part of our brain like a dry sponge and every time after that was just extra. Based on that theory, don’t you want to be the one to soak up the sponge in your child’sContinue reading “The Law of Firsts”
When is Being Stubborn Just Being Foolish?
I’ve been selling real estate for a good long while now, like 25 years. So I’ve seen a thing or two and I’ve definitely learned the patterns of people and their stubbornness. If you’ve got your house 50k overpriced and it’s not moving, there’s a reason. It’s not because “the right buyer” hasn’t seen itContinue reading “When is Being Stubborn Just Being Foolish?”
People Vote “With Their Feet”
We can plan the perfect party at the perfect venue with the perfect activities and the perfect food, but if it’s not what the people you invite want to do, they don’t come. They “vote with their feet” by literally not using them to come do what you thought would be perfect. So what doContinue reading “People Vote “With Their Feet””
