It’s Just a Season
Have you ever noticed that when something is uncomfortable, your brain decides that whatever is happening is either catastrophic or permanent?One hard conversation, and a relationship suddenly feels in jeopardy. One misunderstanding at work, and you fear getting fired. One ache or pain, and your mind goes to a dark place fast. Our brains don’t like discomfort or uncertainty.When something feels off, we…
Focus On The Good Shots
I’ve had a month where my body feels older than I am. A stubborn tennis elbow has been just annoying enough to interrupt my sleep and my mood, and pain has a way of shrinking your field of vision. It makes everything feel more dramatic than it probably is. Suddenly, you’re not just sore—you’re contemplating…
An Awesome Day Starts Here

This has been a week when many hearts have felt heavier than usual. A childhood friend died after what looked like a hopeful recovery, only for a more devastating diagnosis to follow. He was only sixty—someone who lived many lives at once: father, husband, creative force, and a friend I had carried with me for…

If you genuinely love winter magic, family time, decorating, hosting, or simply having a few days off—amazing. Enjoy every minute. But for many people, the holidays bring a more mixed bag.
