Lessons from a One Year Old

What is that old saying? The days are long, but the years are short… or something like that. I tell you what, this has been the longest shortest year of my entire life. I can hardly wrap my head around the fact that my sweet baby is a year old. In fact, she’s hardly a baby. She zips all over the house, gets into everything she shouldn’t, dances and laughs without restraint.

Oh how I love her. Oh how I love that.

I watch her in amazement and wonder how much better our lives would be if we laughed as easily and danced as often.

Love the One You're With (That's You)

Confession: I have a love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day.

The idea of a holiday where you buy fancy trinkets to show how romantic you are just feels… icky. But what if we pressed rewind and took it back to Elementary school? Or even better- what if we work on loving the person we have to live with every single day, no matter what. Ourself.

February People

Over the years I’ve noticed a pattern emerging with my one on one that I never could have seen coming. In fact, when I first noticed it, I thought it was a fluke. But year after year, my emerging theory has been proving more and more true.

The people who stuck with their goals started in February.

It’s never “too late” to get started. Don’t let the calendar tell you when you are allowed to start working towards yoru goals. Every day is the perfect day to get started.
