I had a very simple but important topic on my mind yesterday: showering. 

Showering is something we do regularly (at least I hope so!), for the purpose of cleansing our bodies of any bacteria, oil, and dirt. It's also an opportunity to get rid of any unwanted hair and exfoliate our skin.

There are tim...

A friend of mine was telling me about an amazing tour of Radio City Music Hall she took during her last New York City trip. Her group got to go behind the scenes (literally) and see the whole place, including the costumes, Rockettes dance room, got to spend time on the actual stage, and did a meet-a...

There's a hero in my life who is fighting an epic battle right now (keeping her identity anonymous for privacy's sake).

She has kept the most powerfully positive outlook on her fight (doing things like calling her treatments "ammo-therapy," for example), which has been truly inspiring to watch. 

I'm t...

I asked a question on Facebook the other day, which has been opening some really interesting thoughts and conversations for me. 

The question was simply: What are you craving right now?

I expected to receive a wide range of responses, but I frankly didn't expect people to be so open and honest. I'm ...

I got to sit in on auditions yesterday, to help my friend with casting for a children's musical. 31 adorable kids walked in and out of the room, each showing up with their individual gifts and a full spectrum of nerves/comfort levels. I tried to give my biggest, most friendly smile to ease their min...

There's a really great talk I listened to recently, where the speaker shared something she observed at the beach, and I keep thinking about it. I'll share her words: 

"Once, at the beach, I saw a bird flying into the wind, flapping its wings so hard, almost frenetically, but staying in the same p...

I sang a duet in church with a friend on Sunday, and I have to be honest. Listening back to the recording, I thought she did great -- but I was a little disappointed in myself. I felt totally confident and comfortable when we rehearsed, but when the time came to sing it for the congregation I held b...

This weekend, our very curious and creative 6-year old got bored and figured out that she could break rocks open by throwing them really hard against a bigger one. She was so excited that she could "make crystals!"

Walking into church yesterday, she picked up a rock and turned it over in her hand. Ex...

I've been paying $8.16 for 18 eggs at my usual grocery store. I happened to be at a different store yesterday morning, and to my surprise the same quantity + quality of eggs were $4.59. 

This is a big difference! And they weren't even on special sale or anything!

The $8.16 price I've been paying was a...

I got to watch Chris do a fun thing yesterday! He randomly got the chance to fill in as a caddy for a friend-of-a-friend who's a professional golfer on the Senior PGA tour, and it was like watching a kid on Christmas. He had the best time.

And he was great at it! He did his homework to understand h...

I had a prospective client consultation yesterday, during which she shared that she actually found me through... wait for it... ChatGPT. (!!?) It blew my mind! 

I didn't have a ChatGPT marketing strategy; heck, I've barely had any kind of marketing strategy for my web design business, other than word...

One of my favorite stories in the scriptures is of a man who is instructed by God to build a ship to transport his family across the sea. This man had never built a ship, but he didn't use that as an excuse. His first question in response was, "Where should I go to find ore, to molten and build tool...
