You Don't Need a Plan. You Need a Direction. Somewhere there's a poster board with curled edges and an inspirational quote that fell off. It knows what you really want. Do you? My first vision board collected more dust than results. Sound familiar? I made it about ten years ago: poster board, magazine cutouts, a lot of hope, and little strategy. I had pictures of places I wanted to go, a life that felt bigger than the one I was living, and words like "freedom" and "abundance" that I'd clipped...

How I Made the Biggest Decision of My Life By Accident Most people never decide. They just eventually run out of reasons not to. The Difference Between Dreaming and Deciding I called it a writing retreat. That's the name I gave it while it was still finding its shape. Something small and manageable enough to start. Florida for a few months. My happy place. A part of Florida I'd never seen. Space to focus on writing the book about my dad's disappearance that had been living in my heart for...

Feel It First Fact: 95% of your daily thoughts, habits, and reactions are running on autopilot. No wonder change feels so hard. By 2017, I had been on my spiritual journey for several years. I had read books and followed the teachers, absorbed everything I could get my hands on from Abraham Hicks, Bob Proctor, Mike Dooley, and others. I was intrigued and fascinated by all of it. But I hadn't yet put it to a real, deliberate test. Then came the raffle at work during Hospital Week. It was the...

What's Your Four Minute Mile? You've talked yourself out of something before it even started. What if the only thing that stopped you was a belief that was never really true? Growing up, I was convinced everyone else had skills I didn't. One friend could pick up a pencil and make art that stopped you cold. Another seemed to pull people toward her just by walking into a room. Others were natural athletes. I watched all of them and felt this soft ache, like these gifts had been handed out and...

The Suitcase That Was Never Mine to Keep Everything you're holding onto that you no longer need is quietly blocking what's trying to find its way to you. The more I packed, the louder my house became. Not with noise, exactly. With echo. Each room that emptied sent sound bouncing off the walls in a way it never had before, when it was full of furniture and all the accumulated belongings of a life lived in one place for a long time. And the strangest thing happened with every echo. I felt...

I Hated That Sound. Until It Rescued Me. The people you've lost are still talking to you. You just haven't learned their new language yet The Universe Speaks in Your Language There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes with grief that you never understand until youâre thrown into the middle of it. It's not just the missing of your loved one that rips you to shreds, but itâs also realizing that everyone else seems to be perfectly fine. Laughing. Making plans. Carrying on. And you feel...

The Life That Is Already Waiting For You Somewhere between the life you planned and the life you actually want, there is a door. It has been open the whole time. My landlords had just told me they were putting the house on the market. Which meant at some point, probably soon, I would need to figure out where I was living next. I had brought home boxes with every intention of making a plan, packing, and doing the responsible thing. And then I packed up one box of out-of-season shoes, and...

Hello, beautiful soul! As 2025 draws to a close, I want to share a simple truth with you⌠A new year doesnât feel new if we drag all the old stories into it. The feeling of lack.The habit of playing small.The subtle belief that if something good comes to us, we must have gained it the hard way. What if this next chapter didnât require more effort⌠but more allowing? Imagine your desires as demand, like turning on the water.And imagine your beliefs as the valve. The supply is never the...

Hello, beautiful soul! As we get closer to Thanksgiving, Iâve been thinking a lot about the quiet moments of appreciation that shape us. Not the big, fireworks type of gratitude, but the softer kindâŚthe kind that slips in when you let yourself breathe for a second. This year has asked a lot from many of us. It asked for patience, resilience, courage, and more detours than we expected. But it also offered pockets of goodnessâŚthe unexpected text, the sunrise you happened to catch, the moment...
