Stay Humble & Kind

The last few months have been a long hard road for me for many reasons.  Today, for the first time in a very, very long time, I am starting to feel like me again. I am once again reminded of the many blessings I have in my life, the amazing people that have gone above and beyond to make sure I was doing okay, taking care of me in ways I would have never thought I'd need or ask for help in.  I can never ever thank those people enough because they will never know how deeply thankful I really am.

This lady has always known she was strong, but I learned once again, and even more than ever, that I wouldn't be where I am without the people who support me.  I can not even put into words my gratitude, but know that every single one of you were a reminder that being humble and kind may not bring you the riches of the world, but to me it makes me the richest person I know - in love, kindness, hope and friendship.

The funny thing is, I was asked if I had the choice to live on a desert island alone or with my worst enemy, I joked that I'd do it on my own in a heartbeat because I don't need anyone.  But truth be told, I do need people. I need every single one of you guys!  I love and root for you just like you do for me.  Love is the greatest gift we could ever enjoy in this life and being humble and kind might bring you more love than you could ever imagine.

PS Thank you notes will be coming, eventually!!

Embracing Myself

I went into 2026 with a goal of being more present, more mindful and really just embracing this busy phase of my life.  I want to live more purposeful and less resentful!  Through this reflection process, I've decided to go back and revisit blogging.  I've also decided to dive deep into a travel advisory adventure, and honestly just revisit Me! Life is a series of ebb and flows, positives and negatives, and everything in between! My last few years have been beautiful, but I have also had a low vibe energy flow that has been draining.  I went into this year focusing on how I can work to change that low vibe into a high vibe energy, and as I continue to reflect, I think going back to the basics is where it is at. What makes me feel good.  What makes me feel confident. What make me Me! I started with some journaling, working on my health and the biggest thing is taking a few moments each day to 'pray' to the Universe for guidance as well as for healing and happines...

My Travel Advisor Business

For the longest time, I've felt like there was so much more that I could be doing to reach my long term goals.  I have a career that provides security and stability, all things that are very important to me, but there's just that spark that has been missing which leaves me feeling a little unfulfilled.  I've daydreamed about opening my own plant/coffee/garden/bakery - or whatever hobby I've picked up on - business, but trying to start up a small business in rural, small town Iowa is hard, scary and I don't necessarily feel confident enough in my skill set to jump head first into such a big risk while still trying to provide for my family.   Is that an excuse?  Absolutely!  Is my fear hindering me?  Again, Absolutely!  There are so many successful small businesses in our community, why the heck couldn't I be one of them!   Thank you ' You Are a Badass®: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life ' by Jen Sincero,...

Being Fair is Not Easy

I so do not want to put my drama out there, but I am in a position where I am fed up.  I am a single Mom, by my own choice! Why, because I never want my daughter to grow up and think that certain behaviors are tolerable because she is a woman and I never ever want my son to grow up thinking it is ok to treat the women in his life as a less than because it's her duty as a woman. I've worked very hard in my life to get to where I am, physically, spirituality and emotionally.  Not many people who have met me will describe me as less than strong - maybe slightly closed - but strong and so very kind.  Yet I have my own weaknesses and struggles too.  Going through divorce and trying to be kind and forgiving while everyone tells you how much the other person is struggling is certainly a moment of humility for me.  Will I tell them my reasons?  Will I tell them my side of the story?  Or will I swallow my pride and let them feel bad?  Sadly, I'll probabl...
