Single Day Tech Detox
Have you ever done a tech or social detox? Did you commit to a multi-day avoidance? If so, how did you do? Did you know detoxes don’t have to last a week or a full month? Twenty-four hours might be all you need or can take to reset, but even a single day tech detox…
Read MoreNot meant to be the energizer bunny
We all get to choose how we spend today. Even as an entrepreneur who has trouble turning off the ideas and work, I have to remember that I’m not meant to be the energizer bunny who can go-go-go every day without pausing to recharge. Like other seasons in the past, this year I committed to…

Read More17 Years Strong
Established and anchored in unity, my rock and I are celebrating our anniversary this weekend and we’re proud to be 17 years strong… We would never have guessed, imagined or set out to start a family in our 40’s, nor would we have thought to wait until we’d been married for this long. But what…

Have you ever wondered what it would take to to on an extended leave from work? Can’t seem to wrap your mind around what it would require to go on a sabbatical? Me either. But when I found out I was pregnant I knew I had to figure it out. Today, as the planner and…
Read MoreWhy Pivoting is Still Important for Small Businesses
During the pandemic the word “pivot” became a catchphrase for businesses large and small alike. Everyone was talking about how to shift gears, stay relevant, and remain in business in general, which required most to evaluate and turn attention to a new way of operating. But the pandemic changed the world and as much as…
Read MoreBabymooning
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to learn that many people have never heard of a babymoon. While it’s similar to a honeymoon (which happens after a wedding), a babymoon happens before baby arrives and it can be a very special time for couples to connect before their family grows.
