Work Differently

On January 24, 2025

Happy 2025! For the last few years, I’ve been choosing a word of the year. For 2025, my phrase is WORK DIFFERENTLY. It holds so much potential! Working differently can mean opening doors to new opportunities and ways of thinking and, possibly, to closing old doors. It’s all part of having a growth mindset – not getting […]

Do the Holidays Sustainably

On December 16, 2024

Happy Holidays! A big part of the fun of the holidays is the gift giving instead of the receiving, IMO. I love finding the perfect something for each of those I hold dear to me. Choosing sustainable gifts is much easier on the environment and can be easier on the budget as well. I don’t subscribe […]

The Season of Giving

On November 26, 2024

Giving – to ourselves! The holidays are upon us. A big part of the fun of the holiday season is gift giving, but sometimes we forget to include ourselves. So, as you think about everyone else in your life, be sure to give yourself a little love and grace. Giving yourself space just to be, to […]

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 […]
