Vote like your daughter’s rights depend on it

On October 28, 2024

We ALL must VOTE! November is really almost here, and it is essential that we all make our voices heard. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5! Voting is our democratic right – it is the way we can voice our opinions and have them be counted. Your voice matters. Did you know that in Minnesota you have the right […]

Back To School Style Vibes

On September 4, 2024

Say, WHAT? It’s back-to-school time! How did that happen? The weather is still warm, but there’s a little taste of fall – it’s getting dark earlier, some of the trees are showing a little color, and the MN State Fair is in full swing – all signs of summer’s end. When you’re getting your wardrobe set for […]

Traction in your Wardrobe

On January 7, 2024

My word of the year Happy New Year! Do you choose a word of the year? This year, mine is “Traction.” Not really a sexy or warm, fuzzy word, but important. To me, traction is about doing less, but digging deeper into those things so that they really stick. I’m ready to gain traction in […]

Self Care September

On September 27, 2023

We all need self care September is wrapping up quickly! Even with gentle prompts and checkins from Amy, my lovely social media assistant, I just couldn’t get this post out as early as I planned.

You Belong

On June 10, 2023

You Belong Isn’t that what every person wants? To feel that you belong? Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs describes it as “Love and Belonging,” and it comes after only Physiological Needs (e.g., air, water, food, shelter) and Safety Needs (e.g., personal security, resources). It’s a fundamental human right. For every human. “You Belong” is the theme for Twin Cities Pride’s 2023 Festival this […]

Fill your cup

On February 22, 2023

Fill your cup It’s hard to believe that another month has flown by. February is usually a time for love and romance, flowers, and chocolates. And snowstorms. All great things, except maybe that last one. AND, what if we work on filling up our own cups this month (and every month)? Many of us give […]

My Intentions for 2023

On January 16, 2023

Happy New Year! I don’t like the idea of resolutions so much as setting intentions for the year. Intentions aren’t like goals. They don’t mean you will go to the gym 3 days a week or only eat sweets on the weekends. Setting intentions goes deeper than that and is about truly caring for your body, […]

As the cold air moves in, we should be moving politically to do our part in government participation. Voting is our one way of influence we have on government. It is the […]
