What is it about me that makes me a unique mother to my children and vice versa?
Spiritual Sundays: Mommy Weight
I was told practically from birth about the sacrifices a mother makes….blah blah blah…. back to me me me me me. I remember as a young woman I was told that I wouldn’t really understand this concept of motherly sacrifice until I became a mom myself……blah blah blah…..back to me me me me me.
Then, one day…
Mastering the Art of Starting Over
I am a group exercise instructor and see this in my clients all of the time. They have great and hefty 90-day transformation plans or a race training calendar in hand. Then, one busy day turns into another and the training stops. I tell them that the smallest deed is larger than the greatest intention. Then I realize, I am that client!

Mothering Lesson From an Orphan
It’s one of THOSE days. You know the kind–we’ve all had them. Rushed breakfasts. A child whose selective deafness results in everyone being late to school. New cavities at the dentist appointment.

Accidental Joy in Motherhood
I became a mother to each of my four children on purpose. Most of the time, I don’t want to imagine where I would be had I chosen another life. But, on some of the more challenging days, I remind myself this was my career choice, in spite of myself.
Making “The Call”
What’s your favorite color? What’s your favorite flower? What’s your favorite holiday? It all sounds like a note you would send to your best friend in elementary school doesn’t it? These were all questions that I was just dying to know the answers to. The only way I could get those answers though was to make “the call”.
Book Summary: Loud and Clear
I’ve seen Anna Quindlen quoted in several books and articles I’ve read on motherhood, so I decided to go straight to the source. “Loud and Clear” is a collection of columns the author wrote for Newsweek and it covers a myriad of topics ranging from parenting to politics. While I didn’t…

Today I had the privilege of podcasting with Whitney Johnson, a talented mother of two and the inspiration behind the blog, “Dare to Dream.” I feel so inspired from the experience, and I’m excited to share our conversation. Do you feel like nurturing your talents is nearly impossible if you’re simultaneously trying to be a […]
Center Stage
Lately I find myself reading a lot of articles about successful women. I won’t lie. I envy those women. They are women recognized for their brilliance, talent, ingenuity, drive, and charisma, along with many other enviable qualities. Women do amazing things. Women earn gold medals.
