How wonderful it is when you put yourself out there and ask for help and find you receive an enormous amount more support than anticipated. When you realize that sometimes...
What holds you accountable? What motivates you?
My blog-sauvy roommate, Grace (of SmallHandsBigIdeas), works at a great start-up called Lijit. She recently helped hook me and my new blog up with their services. The coolest thing about Lijit (in my opinion ;) )? It tells you how many readers you have per day and where those readers are coming from. I thought the only people reading my blog were close friends and family members. However,...
i've been in a funk. correction i was in a funk.
I was doing everything in my power to help me outta the funk, but sadly they weren’t working. I felt like a hypocrit at work, suggesting that those I work with treat their mental illness for what it is: an illness. Yet, i couldnt shake my sadness this week. I isolated, beat myself up cognitively, and did not take impeccable care of myself.
So what does any individual in need do? Reach...

hello blog. i've missed you.
It’s one of those things that I feel a strong pull to yet ignore. Coming to my blog, sharing, voicing, connecting, offering. I ask myself why I spend some much time away. And the answer this week is: over. I have had a case of the overs and it has not been pretty. Overworking, overextending, overspending, overtired. Just over.
I acknowledged this feeling earlier last week and ignored it....
This just made my day!

On the menu tonight, VEGGIE SOUP! This is probably one of the easiest recipes, but is a huge staple in my life during the cold winter months. Seeing how there is a little chill in the air this morning in beautiful Colorado, I thought this would be the perfect end to my relaxing day off :)

3 carrots chopped
4 stalks celery chopped
1 large onion chopped
Large handful of string...

While at work yesterday, I got wind of this simple, yet true quote. Then, during a birthday dinner last night, one of my friends and I were talking about different emotional states and she reminded me of surrendering to the emotional state. She reminded me to stop fighting it. Allow it to be present. Because! it to shall pass.
As I reflected on the truth of this statement, I asked...
What kind of limitations do you put on yourself?
In the last few weeks, I realized I was putting limitations on myself: i.e. i’m to young, i’m not experienced enough, etc. When I sit and analyze these thoughts, I recognize that not only are they false, but they are also detrimental to my soul’s well being.
The second I feed into one of these thoughts, my life kinda goes hay-wire. I feel sluggish, down, unmotivated, and...

Guilt.
While closing my eyes this morning and trying to reflect on a topic I would like to discuss, the idea of guilt came up for me. When I asked myself, “why guilt?”, my soul answered, “because you experience a lot of guilt on a daily basis”. I smiled to myself and agreed. I create my own guilt. Something that I recognize that I do, is feel bad if I need to ask someone for...
