And Finally, It Is Spring – An Ode to Crocuses

An Ode to Crocuses

This year, more than ever, the world held its breath for spring. 

Now that it is truly here, I feel the rushing out of breath held in too long 

Introducing Tess

A lot of things have been unexpectedly missing from all of our lives over the past year. Last fall, after our twelve-year-old puppy finally admitted he was old then passed gracefully a week later, we had a particularly large vacancy to fill. 

We learned so much from him that we were even more clear about what we would look for in our next pup. With our pretty strict criteria, we were prepared to wait until we found just the right dog for us, even if it took years.

And then there she was.

Sneak Peek at our upcoming Love Where You Are Challenge!

 Love Where You Are Challenge! Coming February 1st!

February can be a month of love and “shoulds,” mismatched expectations, guilt, and begrudged gifts.

But it doesn’t have to be. 

Instead of buying into “artificially chocolate flavored” and corn-syrup laden gestures, I’m hosting a

15 Mantras and Mindset Tips for Encouraging Healthy Change

-

We all know things we could be doing to be happier, healthier, and more financially savvy. Whether it's turning off the computer, going for a walk, going to bed a little earlier, or eating more vegetables, there are things we all know about doing, perhaps even tell ourselves that we should do them, and then...
