The Year That Didn’t Go as Planned: Finding Purpose in What Didn’t Happen
Well, here we are—December! That magical time of year when we start looking back and thinking about all the goals, hopes, dreams, and wildly ambitious plans we had back in January. You know…the simple ones like “transform my entire life,” “declutter every closet,” or “become one of those people who wake up before sunrise because they just love it.” And now, we scroll through our planners or journals and think: Did I actually transform this year, or did I just master the


The Gratitude Journal: Capturing Moments of Thankfulness
As we gather around tables this Thanksgiving, we're reminded of the power of gratitude. But what if that sense of appreciation didn't have to be confined to one day a year? What if you could harness the transformative power of thankfulness every single day? Enter the gratitude journal: a simple yet profound practice that's changing lives one entry at a time.

So Many Lists: How to Actually Enjoy the Holidays This Year
Thanksgiving is next week — and Christmas will be here in under six weeks. For many of us, that realization brings both excitement and a little panic. My mind immediately jumps to menus, cleaning lists, gift shopping, decorating, hosting, and trying to make everything “perfect”… all while attempting to remain calm and festive. But here’s the truth: the holidays don’t have to be something we just survive. And you can certainly let go of the belief, and in my case - the obsess

A November Kindness Challenge: Finding Light in the Shorter Days
There’s something about November in Wisconsin that always makes me slow down. The busyness of summer with outdoor gatherings, endless to-do lists, and a pace that seems to never stop is finally behind us. The mornings arrive later and the evenings come too soon.

This quieter season brings out my reflective side. Maybe you fee


Digital Detox: Reclaiming Health in the Digital Age
Digital connection can be a great thing. It can keep us up-to-date on the lives of far-away friends and family or help us find new work or volunteer opportunities. It can also be a tool for research and discovery, introducing us to new ideas or stories through social media. But it also has a downside. Our relationships with screens have become increasingly complex and somewhat concerning. Recent studies reveal alarming statistics about our digital consumption and its impact o


Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back
Halloween is all about fun and scary things — haunted houses, spooky movies, ghosts that pop out when you least expect them. But we know those fears are pretend and are meant to be fun. They disappear the moment the lights come on. But there are fears that don’t disappear as easily. These are the fears that live quietly inside us. The fears we carry about change, failure, being seen, or not being enough. Those are the ones that don’t go away when October ends. They can sneak
