As a professional in the world of learning and development, I am often sought as a subject matter expert on personal and professional growth as well as managing relationships...and then I walk through the door and find out how much more learning I need to do at the courtesy of my husband and five-year-old daughter. Join me on my journey towards humility and accountability.
Does anyone notice how often I talk about sweets in my posts? I’ve discussed chocolate, Starbursts, Strawberry Butter, etc…I might delve deeper into that another day, but my learning lesson yesterday came from a bag of Skittles.
Skittles are delicious. Tha ... Read more...
How would you feel or respond if someone told you that you weren’t a “jeans-type of person?”
Would you
(a) Not care
(b) Just accept it
(c) Obsess about it for days and wonder what the individual meant by this and analyze it to the point whe ... Read more...
Is yet to come. Did you know that? I learned this truth as my daughter was skipping into school yesterday. She turned to me and said, “Mommy, tomorrow is going to be the best day ever!”

1. I love Little House on the Prairie (set in the 1800’s).
2. I love Anne of Green Gables (set in the late 1800’s).
3. I love all Jane Austen novels (set in ... Read more...
I’m having a rough week. That might not be earth shattering to anyone since every human being has bad days and bad weeks. Even my daughter will acknowledge when she’s having a bad day, but I somehow think it’s unacceptable to admit that I’m experiencing some trials. ... Read more...
My daughter paid me the greatest compliment over the weekend. She said, “Mommy, you’re just like Anne Shirley.”
Be still my beating heart. I really did have a moment of feeling so overjoyed that my heart was fluttering. For those who don’t know Anne Shirley ... Read more...
Before my daughter was born, my husband explained that there were some conversations that he did not want to have with her so I needed to make sure I was present and prepared. You know which ones I’m talking about- PMS and the sex talk. I would laugh and promise th ... Read more...
That’s what I said out loud after dinner last night as I was washing the dishes. And I did so because my husband threw a wadded up napkin at me. My first inclination was to turn to my five year old, and say, “Your daddy threw a napkin at me!” I fully expected my d ... Read more...
