As more states begin to slowly open after COVID19, you might find that some of your old habits sneak back into your life. Or, maybe you have found that you've developed some new habits during the quarantine period that you want to change.

Regardless of which camp you fall into, this...

Oh man! I’ve had that song “What the world needs now, is love, sweet love” stuck in my head. All. Weekend. I’m not sure why. It just popped in my head and has been on repeat since. 

It’s certainly timely, though.

Right now, life feels...

You may or may not know that I live in the Minneapolis metro area. Recently, a man by the name of George Floyd was killed by a police officer while he was handcuffed and not resisting. A crowd of people watched it happen and didn't intervene out of fear for their own lives.

Black Lives...

Yes. You read that title correctly. I want to talk about stepping in poo. 

Imagine that I’m walking along, walking along, and  - “squish” – I step in a pile of dog poop.

I think: “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe that I just stepped in...

As states and municipalities around the country start to re-open, we are thrust into yet another highly uncertain time. Our lives were shaken up like snow globes when the novel coronavirus first reared its nasty head. Now, just as some of the snow is starting to settle and we are...

If you're a Mom, you've likely...

What do grammar and math have to do with mindset and pain? More than you might think!

There’s an old Buddhist saying: “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

If you’ve ever heard me speak, or even had a conversation with me, you’ve probably heard...

We've now been at this social distancing / quarantine thing for a few weeks, and it's likely that people's mood and mindset are starting to take a dive (more on that in a moment). 

Above all, we want you to know we're here for you, and we're cheering for you. You can do...

As you know, cases of COVID-19 are beginning to rise in the U.S. and in many other parts of the world, and naturally, many people are experiencing some fear. Will I get sick? Will my family get sick? How bad will our case be if we do get sick? These are all scary questions to...

Last week, Ashley wrote a post about judgements. And, we've talked extensively about the importance of avoiding judgement and accepting (not necessarily approving of) other people's behavior.
