I am friends with a variety of people from different industries, backgrounds and levels of education. As a result, I am fortunate to have the benefit of hearing a fair number of diverse perspectives and experiences about different workplaces. Nonetheless, I was surprised by a conversation I had earlier this summer with a close, long-time…
I’m so grateful to the criminals who defaced municipal property to install a labyrinth in my cul-de-sac. It’s been pretty convenient to just stroll out the middle of the circle when I need to find clarity and ‘re-center’ myself… This labyrinth walk took place on September 5, 2021 in the labyrinth at Salem Court. Here…

I’ve read that every feeling, attitude, thought, and action stems from one of two “root” emotions: Love or Fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. Everything is based on either Love or Fear. When we consider the sheer number of choices we make every day, and realize that every decision…
Previous Next I met Leah of LandM_artistry in July 2019 when one of my sisters convinced me that I should run a 5k with her. (If that isn’t sibling abuse, I don’t know what is…) I am not a runner. I hate running. I will run after the ice cream truck and AWAY from serial…

Two Minds Have you ever hear the phrase, “I’m of two minds about something”? It means having two separate ideas or opinions about something and being undecided between the two. From a psychological perspective, there is some truth to the concept of two minds- the emotional mind and the rational mind. The Emotional Mind The emotional…
I feel like this labyrinth lesson was all about encouraging me to shift my thinking. I have a lot of other thoughts about this experience, but those aren’t for public consumption. Still, when I look back through old journal entries, I realize that every one of these labyrinth lessons are reminiscent of some of the…
At the time I am writing this, I am on what I know will be a faith-filled, spirit soaked adventure with the amazing couple you see pictured.When I told them my plan, Andrew & Mikayla sent me a message the next day to say they were “IN”. And so it began… It’s Day 1, and…
Today’s recommendation is for a movie: The Joneses. It’s not the type of movie I would normally pick. I usually want action & adventure where the good guys always win. Or romance/drama where they (whoever THEY are) find true love. Or a good mystery, where I just can’t figure out ‘whodunnit and my brain has to go…
There’s a good chance that you’ve heard of both unicorn employees and unicorn companies. In this post, I’m talking about unicorns as employees, not companies. Conversely, racehorses and pack mules are probably unfamiliar terms in the employment vernacular- probably because they are terms I coined to describe other types of employees. So, without knowing anything…
