Practical ways to make the most of your time
Time is precious. Setting ourselves up to be able to enjoy as much of it as possible with the people and activities that matter most is one of the most beautiful things we can do for ourselves. I’m on a mission to use my time better. I want to be efficient and effective. I don’t […]
You are not alone
Even when you’re most troubled, isolated, and lost — you are not alone. Other people can help, and a surprising number can relate. It’s hard to see this when you’re in a rut, but when you open to it, it can be a tremendous source of strength and a lifeline out of a dark place. […]
Self-care is more than getting a massage
Visiting a spa tends to come up in conversations about self-care. Maybe that’s why the subject is sometimes trivialized — as though self-care was frivolous and nonessential. It’s not.

Learning to love your belly sounds like a great way to practice loving yourself. But when you’ve spent your whole life hating, how do […]
Snappy and reactive? Try this remedy with me
Meditation can help us be less volatile and reactive. I’ve found it to be a useful tool for keeping my inner drama queen in check. But lately she’s back. This shouldn’t be a surprise to me. I haven’t meditated regularly in months. I’ve been busy and distracted, and it simply hasn’t been a priority. You […]
