Last week, I visited my 99-year-old Grammy in Maine.
I got to hug her, hold her hand, and tell her how much I love her.
I spent summers with her and my Grampy in Connecticut—gardening, candy striping, and learning to cook.
Grammy’s laugh is contagious, her hugs unforgettable, and though she stands just 4’9”, she’s always been a powerhouse.
She shaped so much of who I am, and I honestly can’t put into words how much I love her.
This morning, I got the news that she quietly passed away. I know she is finally at peace with Grampy and I cannot tell you how beyond grateful I am that I got to spend time with her last week.
If you’re lucky enough to have your people still—go hug them. 🙏❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
It’s bite-sized mindset fuel (and occasionally, stories of me tripping over my own life lessons).

For so many of us, hurry has become a habit. We convince ourselves that if we’re not rushing from one thing to the next, we're not being productive.
But “busyness” is a form of avoidance. The “doing” keeps you from “feeling.”
As long as you’re busy, you don’t have to think about the tough stuff, make hard decisions, have difficult conversations, or feel uncomfortable emotions.
This week, slow down. Hurry may be a habit, but it’s not one you have to continue. ... See MoreSee Less
Unfortunately, “hurry” is the American norm. Soo many other countries do a much better job of “slowing it down”.
Oh wow, your message is timely. I’ve been back to back to back with client work - even on my weekends. Today was supposed to be my first day “off” in a while, but a client contacted me and asked if I could spare an hour. I thought, sure, no biggie. But 1 hour turned into almost 3 and then I suddenly felt maxed out and fractured. When I was finally able to decompress with a couple hours of vegging out, I felt revived and whole and better able to cope with the things that were making me feel so fractured. Lesson learned…keep the “me time” sacred.
I will buy a Netflix subscription. I’ve never had one because I work pretty consistently day and night. Now I can absorb some “brain candy” and shift my mindset for a few hours each week. Ahhhh.

Take time to refuel this week.
1️⃣ Do something you enjoy.
2️⃣ Spend time with someone you care about.
3️⃣ Talk to yourself with compassion, not criticism.
What one small thing will you do today to fuel yourself?

My mind never stops racing BUT I have gotten much better on vacation about completely tuning out.
Me at the dentist: “I’m just looking forward to sitting back and relaxing.” 🤣🤣
This is great!
