Today I Cleaned
Today I cleaned. I cleaned my whole house! Well, to be clear, my husband did most of the cleaning. He likes to do the deep cleaning projects sporadically whereas I prefer a little tidying every day. It’s springtime, and even though we have a small home in Florida, it can easily get cluttered throughout the […]
Today I Was Coached
Today I was coached. I had a coaching call with a new business coach. I am not new to coaching – in fact I’ve been in three different formal coaching groups over the past decade! I have found immense value in coaching. The accountability provided, the insights gained from others, and the given permission for […]
Today I Saw Dolphins
Today I saw dolphins! I’ve lived in Florida for almost two years and finally saw a pod of dolphins swim by. I’ve heard about all the wildlife that’s seen in the area I live–alligators, wild boars, manatees, sea turtles, sharks, and whales depending on the season. But even though I’ve spent a lot of time […]
Today I Sat Quietly
Today I sat quietly. I turned off the TV and put away my phone. I closed the books and set my journal aside. I sat quietly, with nothing but my mind and Holy Spirit. It’s so easy to get distracted by all-the-things. If you’re like me, you crave purpose and understanding. You want to know […]
Today I Drove Slow
Today I drove slow. I took the slow lane of the interstate, on purpose. I was midway through my two-hour drive, most of which was on the interstate, when the Google Maps voice said, “We’ve found an alternate route which is six minutes faster.” Normally I would click “accept” before she finished her sentence, but […]
Today I Was Overwhelmed
Today I was overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed with all the unknowns of my future. When I was younger, I was an incessant planner. I remember getting my first planner in school in 5th grade. It came standard from the school; a place to keep track of assignments and due dates to prepare for middle school […]
Today I Got Sweaty
Today I got sweaty. I was nervous, and my body reacted by sweating profusely. I saw a contest pop up on my social media feed this week that I decided to enter. It is an opportunity for me to speak on a stage far outside my comfort zone, and I knew immediately I wanted to […]
Today I Made Biscuits
Today I made biscuits. I followed the recipe on the Bisquick box to make fluffy, flaky biscuits. But that wasn’t my intention. I began by wanting to make sheet pan pancakes. I was craving pancakes and knew that standing over the griddle wasn’t possible for this particular morning due to my schedule. Luckily, there’s plenty […]
Today I See You

For more than twenty years, the mission of my work has been the development and support of women. A recent conversation I had with a local female […]
Today I Sang Karaoke
Today I sang karaoke. For the first time in my 32-year-old life, I sang karaoke. And it was SO much FUN! I didn’t realize how much my body needed to have fun like this. I consider myself a pretty fun person. I enjoy going to DisneyWorld, riding roller coasters, dancing, playing games with friends, telling […]
