where angels go for a good time
I should be on a plane headed home from New York City; instead, I’ve spent the day here. All by myself in a rooftop haven overlooking Manhattan – just me, the blue sky, and the city below. I’m pretty sure this is where angels go to have a good time....a letter to my 30s: the calm after the storm
Dear 30s, This is our last day together. While many friends have fretted lately over leaving you behind, I have felt downright euphoric. Ready for a clean slate, a fresh start. Ready to ditch a decade that frequently felt like an uphill climb. But the closer...holy wow. what i found in my grandma’s gratitude journal
Oh, friends. I have so much to tell you, it’s hard to know where to begin. Maybe here: my Nana is gone. After 40 days in residential hospice, she passed away on Saturday morning. And though I know I’ll hear from her soon enough (she promised, after all, to...
what dying people see that most of us miss
I’ll never forget the day my dad cried over trees. A couple of months before he died, in 2011, we were sitting in the den of my parents’ home, him in his favorite leather chair and me curled up on the couch, looking out the big picture window at their...
it’s my “good god, i can’t believe i’m doing this” anniversary
One year ago today, I got brave and told the truth – knees knocking, voice quivering, angels dancing. And as soon as I let courage take charge, everything changed. Though I’d been posting stories here about my personal journey – from magical moments...my birthday wish
We’re still recovering from a jam-packed birthday celebration for my just-turned-11 year old. An epic slumber party, a family pizza party, cards and gifts and cake and singing “happy birthday” at the top of our lungs. And Ryder beamed through it all...This Thanksgiving…
Sending you so much love today and gratitude for all you are.grounded but grateful: the mysterious way we got stuck in santa fe
This vacation photo may not be of a sunset or a pool or a beautiful meal, but I can guarantee it captures one of the most memorable moments of our girls’ weekend in Santa Fe. That’s right; we spent part of it in the hospital. Still can’t even believe...what is it like to be old and awesome? (the plant a kiss blog hop)
Wow. It’s been exactly a year since I first wrote about these young lovebirds – my Nana and Hibb, who remain as close as ever after reconnecting nearly 70 years after they first met. I loved how much you loved their story! And they did, too. They have...my silver linings playbook: link love
Yesterday was a travel day from hell, friends. I’m on my way to a professional retreat with a bunch of other speakers in Maine – but I’ve been stuck in Detroit. Without my luggage. Or my phone charger. Or my sanity. ;o) I definitely vented on the...when times get tough
These words whooshed into my heart this morning and I figured they were meant to share. I have been feeling deeply and praying hard lately for people I know who are facing uphill battles and dark days. It’s hard to know what to say. When I have been on the flip...
ANGELS EVERYWHERE.
I’m on a mission to normalize talking about the magic that exists within us and around us. After years of hiding my lifelong relationship with the angels, I finally realized that gift was there for a reason — and that tons of other people are hiding their own amazing gifts, mystical experiences and curiosities about this great big, benevolent universe we’re part of. I started this blog in 2006 to have a place where we can talk about it all!
