A Little Writing and a Lot of Hygge

Coffee in hand, a run in the books, multiple hugs from my kiddos and the scent of pumpkin spice candles warming the air and inviting in some serious #hygge. It’s time for a day of writing. More of my story is about to be shared. More of the beauty and less of the ashes. More of the love and less of the loss. Stay tuned. It will be available to the public soon in Grand Traverse Woman magazine!

My writing and speaking is a continual challenge for me. It requires me to summon strength and courage from the depths of my being...and to clarify where I have been and where I am going. And most importantly, each time I sit down to write, it invites me to be REAL. Being vulnerable is not easy because it opens the door to being misunderstood, judged or hurt. I have learned that it is also the path to living a full, vibrant, authentic life.  Brene Brown has found in her research that vulnerability and authenticity contribute to living #wholeheartedly. So, onward I must go because I will settle for nothing less than a wholehearted, abundant life.

Happy Sunday, dear one. May this day bring you opportunities to choose authenticity and wholeheartedness...and may you experience it’s transformative power. ❤️
