Finding Gratitude in Each Day
Have you noticed? All the New Year stuff is already starting to fade. While we are just 2 weeks into 2019, the healthy food sales are starting to wane. TV ads are changing back from Planet Fitness and Orangetheory to Papa Johns and Miller Lite. Keto and Whole30 are being exchanged for Valentine’s Day Chocolates.…

A New Year – A Challenge to Lobsters Everywhere
What the heck? I’m starting to read the book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos to kick off this year. And I’m thinking of using the book as a month-by-month guide. One chapter each month. One rule to set into place. One new mind-set to focus on. The first chapter is titled “Stand…

A little encouragement with loved+blessed!
Have you never just needed a quick boost of encouragement? You’re mid a tough season. You hope a silver lining is on the horizon – but even if there isn’t, you just have to keep moving. Or maybe you have a friend who is walking in those shoes. Someone you care about needs a little…

The first half of 2018…what the heck does it mean to be healthy anyway?
It’s hard to stay healthy in certain seasons of life – isn’t it? To me, May is right up there with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the Super Bowl. In our home, it’s a month that is filled with birthdays, Mother’s Day, graduation parties, sports-viewings (so many sports), end of school events, city festivals…the list goes on…

Music Motivation – Fun.
Today is a weird day. It’s almost Easter. A lot of our friends are on break. I wish I was on break to try to get some much-needed spring cleaning checked off the never-ending list of things to do. We need groceries. I need to go to the gym so I don’t hurt someone. This…

Daylight Saving Monday Music Motivation
This is serious. We lost an hour of sleep yesterday. Can you feel it today? I sure can. Add in one of my busiest work seasons of the year, a few parties, a lot of houseguests, and those little things…like daylight saving…can add up. I understand why the time changes occurred decades ago, but I’m…

Monday Music Motivation – PEACHES!
It’s President’s Day – so hopefully you have the day off. You may have even forgotten that you have the day off. SURPRISE! Today, you get a free day to catch up on errands that don’t involve banks and post offices. Or maybe you’re planning to binge watch curling and ice dancing on the Winter…

Monday Music Motivation – LUST FOR LIFE!
Music Motivation Monday —- LUST FOR LIFE (It’s not just for cruise-line commercials) Nothing needs a solid dose of Iggy Pop more than a Monday, right? I know, I know, I know. “Lust for Life” is a song about drug addiction. I know. But so many good songs are about vices. Iggy is one of…

The struggle is real…and bad days are just part of life.
It’s been a hard day. Sometimes the struggle is real. While our brains know that first world problems are just that, they are still problems. They still make our days more complicated than we would like. The car is running weird. We accidentally pour decaf in our cup. Kids are sick, projects build up, checks…

Music Motivation Monday – It’s Beautiful!
Let’s see if we can get a little music motivation happening each week. Maybe this is a good morning song to get you moving before you indulge in your coffee. Maybe it’s a new song discovery for your gym or jogging music mix. Maybe it’s your power song when it’s 2:30 in the afternoon and…
