Praying For Miracles: Angels at Mayo Clinic
I’m thrilled to be home after three days of exploratory appointments and tests at Mayo Clinic. I get to be home for the holiday and return next week. It’s a beautiful, state-of-the-art facility, but what has struck me most is how the whole place is...
Why I’m Acting So Weird Lately (and why you might be too)
I have not been myself lately. I go from telling my kids to QUIET DOWN to begging them to SPEAK UP. My neck’s been stiff for a week, I’m even more absent-minded than usual and my ability to tolerate unexpected disturbances has sucked. This weekend, one of...
Rainbow Connections During the COVID-19 Pandemic
I posted this today on my social media feeds and have received some messages from people asking if they can do the same thing, using our letter. OF COURSE! I’ve added a downloadable PDF of the letter below. Here are the details: we’re doing a “rainbow...
How I Discovered My Breast Cancer
On this day eight months ago, Brad and I sat at the kitchen table as I answered the call we both knew I’d be receiving. A nurse on the other end of the line informed me I had breast cancer. She had very few details, told me I’d be receiving calls to...
The House Where I Lost Myself
This is the house where I lost myself. Eighteen years ago, that little bungalow felt palatial to us, and Brad and I were thrilled to put our stamp on our first real home. It would become the house where we’d start a family, and we were so excited to meet our...
Justin Bieber is an empath. Are you one, too?
Today, Justin Bieber announced that he’s canceling all future meet-and-greet sessions with fans because of how much they drain his energy, to the point of depression. While I’m sure some people are questioning or scoffing at this announcement, it all makes...
the courage to shine is full of crap
The one thing people often say to me that never ceases to surprise me is this: “You are so brave.” It takes my breath away every time they say it. I look behind me, to see if they’re talking to someone else. I laugh out loud at the absurdity of it....when following my heart feels hard
This spring, it seems I’ve been hitting every speed bump and pothole possible in my path. Big decisions, hard conversations, and a neverending toothache the dentist can’t figure out. It’s all made for a bumpy ride and slowed me down. So it seems...a taste of my own medicine: the rundown on getting run down
I ran myself right into a wall this week. It’s been so long since I’ve been sick, but I could feel it creeping in on Tuesday. You know the feeling, right? The heavy eyelids, the aching muscles, the scratchy throat, the sledgehammer to the head. I take...restless soul syndrome: finding the cure
How many days this week have you woken up feeling anxious, fidgety, unsettled? How many nights this week have you laid in bed with your eyes wide open, even though you felt dog-tired? How many times this week did you feel wrapped up in joy? Two years ago, I wrote...remember who you are (an ode to bravery)
Apparently, I’ve had so much going on inside, that I forgot to report back to the outside. I stopped by my own blog this morning and was shocked to see I haven’t posted here in weeks. When I’m trudging through giant change in my life, I often...
ANGELS EVERYWHERE.
Whether you’re aware of it or not, you’re surrounded by angels. How can I be so sure? Because I’ve seen them and heard them all my life — and they tell me they’ve been hanging around you, too. Yep, ALL OF YOU.
I’ve seen them in the best of times & worst of times, and I’m honestly not sure I’d be alive without their love & interventions, so I want others to feel that kind of love and support, too. It is truly an honor to tell you what I know, remind you how much they love you, and share the art we create together.
I have no doubt the angels led you here. They’re clever like that, nudging us to find whatever we need next to thrive. It is awesome you’re following those nudges! I hope you find what you’re looking for — and maybe some goodness you didn’t even realize you needed.
