Before You Say Yes
We hear it all the time. Someone makes a choice for themselves and suddenly they’re being “selfish.” But choosing yourself doesn’t always have to be some big decision or dramatic announcement. Sometimes, it simply begins with giving yourself a moment to pause.
What if you give yourself permission...

Of Course It Was a Goose 😂
October 28, 2026 | Vol. 13
Last week, I received an invitation to attend a workshop about the messages, wisdom, and symbolism we sometimes associate with animals. It sounded fun and interesting, so I signed up and decided it was also a fabulous opportunity to block out the entire day as a “me” da...

The Only Way to Learn Is to Practice
October 21, 2026 | Vol. 12
Each week when I sit down to write the Weekly, I spend some time brainstorming the topics that have felt especially present in my life. This week, one idea kept showing up in seemingly unrelated places: practice.
It’s fascinating how, once something has our attention, w...

The Stories We Leave Behind
October 14, 2026 | Vol. 11
This past weekend, I attended a memorial for a former manager and coworker I had known and worked with for more than 20 years. It was a beautiful service and tribute to his life and the impact he had on so many people.
Ironically, I had been travelinng and happened to b...

The Helpers Along the Way
September 23, 2026 | Vol. 9
My trip to Tennessee did not begin quite as smoothly as I had hoped. 😂 I was taking a red-eye while traveling in a walking boot, and although I had decided not to request wheelchair assistance, I did not anticipate how much hobbling around Sea-Tac would actually be inv...

What If It’s Already Happening?
September 16, 2026 | Vol. 8
This week has somehow felt like there’s been a lot happening and not much happening at the same time. I played fantasy football for the first time and, quite frankly, crushed it for week one 😂 I was a guest on someone else’s podcast, spent time coaching and connecting ...

But Is It Actually True?
September 9, 2026 | Vol. 7
Have you ever noticed how easily a repeating thought can begin to sound like a fact? I’m not good at that. I can’t do that. I’ve always been this way. That kind of thing doesn’t happen for someone like me.
When we’ve thought something often enough, we don’t always reco...

Is This for Real?

I went out a few times over the last several days to listen to live music, and I found myself feeling so genuinely happy watching people do what they love.
This isn’t entirely new for me. There’s something about seeing someone share their talent, follow their passion, a...

I Will Always Love You...
August 26, 2026 | Vol. 5
I know I’m not alone in feeling incredibly sad about the passing of Dolly Parton. I felt like I was just about done moving through my sadness of Hayden Panettiere, but Dolly hits even deeper for me.
I grew up listening to her music and watching her movies. 9 to 5, Th...

Take One Minute
August 19, 2026 | Vol. 4
I’ve decided to embrace my “middle-of-the-night wake-up” messages.
I had a newsletter scheduled to go out at 7:00 this morning, and I woke up in the night with the thought, “Unpublish it. That’s not the message you want to send.” Was it a bad message? No, of course not. H...

Fall in Love With It Again
August 12, 2026 | Vol. 3
I haven’t always been a fan of baseball, but I fell in love with the game when my son was growing up.
He loved to play, and I used to tell him allll the time, “I absolutely love to watch you play.”
I am not athletic at all, but I found my own ways to become part of the ex...
