A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
I always have a plan I had a plan. I knew what I was going to write about this week. It all hinged on getting a project done so I’d have pictures to accompany the writing. Having this plan in place eased my mind because I knew my time to write would be limited. And… Continue reading All is Well
Last week on my Wednesday instagram post, which is always a quote I’ve found to be helpful on this journey, I shared this from Amateur Nester: “With a baby or without, you are valuable, you are whole, and you matter.” And then I named my truth, something that’s been on my mind a lot recently:… Continue reading It Is Good
On Saturday we celebrated Steve turning 11 months. By “we” I mean me, and by “celebrated” I mean I mentioned it and took a few pictures of him. While I had the camera out, I took a few pictures of Denali too. I realized just how lucky I am to have two beautiful creatures in… Continue reading This Isn’t What I Expected
Often when I say "no" to something I feel bad. I feel like I'm letting someone down, that I'm not doing my part. Usually when I say "no" it's best for me, but being one that often puts others first, I still struggle with being my first priority. Last month my breathwork teacher was in… Continue reading Not Yet
I recently read this line in a blog post: “There’s nothing good about feeling forced.” The comment was in reference to charitable giving. This young person was raised in a family that values giving back, but he noted “there’s something about obligation that eliminates feeling good about it.” I know what he means. There are… Continue reading It’s Time
The first time I stepped outside to run as a form of exercise was the summer of 2004. I didn’t have an iPhone or any GPS device. I don’t know how far I ran or what my pace was. After a few months I developed my first stress fracture. I decided running wasn’t for me.… Continue reading The Fastest
A couple weeks ago I went to a breath work class at my yoga studio. I had actually started a blog about breathing earlier today, but I’ll save that for later. After going to a breath work workshop this afternoon, I feel there are more pressing things to process. Detachment – looking at an experience,… Continue reading Detachment
For most of the country this is Memorial Day weekend. Here in Indianapolis it’s more likely to be called Race Weekend. The Indy 500 is a huge tradition – some are more invested than others. Growing up I recall the race being broadcasted on the radio. It was background noise for me. I’ve never understood… Continue reading Laps
I’m currently reading AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller. After reading Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed, I’ve been fascinated with these long, daunting hikes across North American mountains. Both books highlight the difficulties and awe-some aspects of such hikes. However, no book can truly convey the realities… Continue reading Next
I'm a rule follower. It makes me uneasy to break rules. Even if it's not a "rule" - if it's strongly suggested, I follow that too. So, when Brad got me a FitBit a few years ago at Christmas, I knew what I had to do. 10,000 steps a day. I wanted to feel the… Continue reading Break
