Perspective

This morning as I looked around the house and was feeling a bit overwhelmed between boxes and packing, school holidays and trying to entertain the kids, and balancing it all with work, I had to stop before I allowed myself to spiral down the rabbit hole. But, it’s an...
A Reason. A Season. A Lifetime.

A Reason. A Season. A Lifetime.

Years ago, I remember one of my husband’s friends saying, “I can’t be friends with people unless they live within a certain radius.” While we appreciated that he knew this about himself, it was also baffling to us. When we first me, my husband was an Australian...
Work to Live or Live to Work?

Work to Live or Live to Work?

A few weeks ago, I was talking with a friend of mine who has been beside themselves busy at work, which is something I can absolutely relate to. Often, particularly now as I find myself with the space to look out across the water and breathe as opposed to constantly...
Humanity for the Win

Humanity for the Win

Hands up if you feel exhausted from the current news cycle! At one point last week, at the height of my frustration, I had this idea to write an obituary – “The Death of Humanity” – where November 8th, 2016 marked the beginning of the end. Dramatic, perhaps. But, from...

Over the weekend, I was talking with a friend of mine about life, goals, and stepping into a position of purpose as opposed to comfort. The conversation really sat with me, particularly as I related it back to the last year. I remember the day I walked out of my...
Living & Loss

Living & Loss

Each year, this day comes and goes. For friends back in America, it represents the long holiday weekend and kick off to summer. For my family, it comes with a range of emotion: love, loss, life, gratitude, remembrance. As the décor comes down and the final pieces of...
Delivery Room Negotiations

Delivery Room Negotiations

When the nurse looked at me and told me I was simply dehydrated and could go home, I thought to myself, “I better stay so they can cut this thing out of me because if this is not labor, I don’t want to know what is! In celebration of my little man’s birthday and to...
