This holy silent Sabbath on Easter weekend has a powerful message for us all. This morning, I heard a priest say, “We must look at the cross and dare to find beauty in it.” Not only should we look at Christ’s cross and find beauty in it, but we should look at our own crossContinue reading “Fixated on Hope”

Sometimes, we yearn deeply for tradition. We ache for it. But maybe the fact that we feel it so deeply reminds us that it is inside of us and always there. We carry it wherever we go. It is a piece of who we are.
March 2023 Favorites
Another month in the books. I have had better days and months. March, you were as good to me as you were to Julius Caesar. #dramatic The general feeling for March was overwhelm and obstacle.

I adore wise people who share, write and create courses forContinue reading “The Value of Mentorship”

I am gathering some of my favorite pieces of advice from books and podcasts and assembling them into an action plan. (I need to find aContinue reading “Why is it so Hard to Relax?”

Hello, Chapter two of 2023 is coming to a close. This month was so busy. There were many deadlines and long days in court. It was also celebratory. It was my love’s birthday month. We ate yummy food. I was also extremely spoiled for Valentine’s Day. #spoiledrotten Despite the sleepless nights while drafting until 2Continue reading “February 2023 Favorites”
