Stretch, Snap, Repeat: Embracing the Chaos of Getting Older

2025-03-28T08:33:37+00:00March 27, 2025|Personal Growth & Life|

Let's get one thing straight: aging is not for the weak. And if you're still young enough to sneeze without peeing a little, I don't want to hear it. :) The other morning, I stretched while getting out of bed. You know, just one of those casual "I'm awake, let's get our day started" kind of moves, and pop, something [...]

From Comfort to Purpose: An Update on My Pursuit of Something More

2025-03-28T07:54:11+00:00February 18, 2025|Personal Growth & Life|

Spring is almost here, and I am beyond ready for it. Winter has had me feeling a little low, a little uninspired, and, frankly, just over it. Bring on the sunshine and the vitamin D! This year, so far, has felt pretty unremarkable. I turned 50, a big milestone in theory, but in reality, it just kind of happened. My [...]

The Power of Letting Go: Choosing Greatness Over Anger

I recently stumbled upon a video series about a man who had a good life; a career, life in the city, the whole package, but he wasn't happy. So, he packed it all up and disappeared into the Canadian wilderness to build a cabin and live [...]

Fabulous at Fifty! A Birthday to Remember

2025-01-25T22:18:58+00:00January 25, 2025|Personal Growth & Life|

Turning 50 is kind of a big deal. I mean, half a century! It feels monumental, like a milestone that deserves fireworks, confetti, and maybe a little existential pondering. But instead of getting lost in all the clichés about aging gracefully...my birthday came in hot with shopping, purple hair, and a side of Theraflu. That's right, turning 50 was a [...]
