Look for the Teachers

Have you ever gone to a bookstore and picked up a book that seemed to jump out at you to realize that it was the exact book you needed to read at that moment?

Or you came across an article, blog post, or podcast episode about a topic that you’d been struggling with at that moment?

Or you found a workshop/class/presentation/event at the EXACT time you needed it?

These aren’t coincidences. These are teachers showing up for us because we are ready to learn the lessons they have to teach us.

As the Empty Nest Approaches…

I’m only a couple of years away from having the proverbial “empty nest”. However, I’ve been itching to move past motherhood and into my own life for a while now. I love being a mom but I want more. Scratch that. I NEED more. I’m ready and maybe you are, too. I’m sharing my thoughts and would love to hear your thoughts/feelings in the comments.

Does the Full Moon Make You Howl (with Big Emotions)?

Have you had a big emotional upheaval recently? Have you thought about looking up at the night sky as a cause? I had a “howling at the moon” moment earlier this week and I had no idea the moon had this kind of pull on me. Or had it always and I’m just now paying more attention. I found a couple of articles that highlight some research that just may prove that this ebb and flow of emotion is “normal.” Read more here….

Can We Do Better, Menopause? I Mean...COME ON!

Menopause is not here to play. It's here to mess some sh*t up but I don't have to take it. I've found some things to help mend this relationship and if anything, I hope we can part friends at the end of all this female nonsense.
