"Stick to the Plan" Weekly Wisdom

 

True confession:  I am notorious for having grand plans, mapping them out to execute and then..... not following through. It is a horrible pattern in my life. And the plans are good!  Well thought out, reasonably easy to complete and then my momentum fades. "The best laid plans of mice and men" seems to be the story of my life. 

But today, this shall be no more!  I have started making plans and I have all intentions to stick to them. I am starting small though because I do not want to overshoot my shot. I am starting with home projects like cleaning my patio cushions and refinishing my patio table. The week before this happens, I am making the plan, reserving the time in my calendar and sticking to the plan. 

My hope is to create the momentum that lasts instead of fades. I have spent way to many years in a state of horrible execution and I feel defeated. When in the midst of life life-ing, there are a plethora of plans that do not happen - could be because of a personal or professional curveball being thrown into your life. We cannot stop or change those BUT we can still make short term plans to keep us on course. 

I am starting with the short term plans and none of my plans have a rigid, fancy step by step guide. I am actually tackling that patio sitch today and knowing by doing so, I am going to continue to chip away at my very important long term plans as well. 

The plans are made and I am sticking to them.

"Say Hello" Weekly Wisdom

 

I really enjoy a little stroll in the evening and so do a lot of people in the neighborhood I live in. Over the past month, I have walked by more than 75 different people. Out of those 75 people, I was the initiator of a kind hello as I walked by with 75 of them.  47 of those I said hello to said hello back. Out of the 28 of the people who did not say anything back, 10 of them smiled. This left 18 people who did not respond. 

I am that person who does say hello to everyone I walk by because I believe there is something so powerful about the "hello."  I did this experiment because I wanted to know how many people I encounter in this small time of my day and how it was reciprocated. I know people can have a really bad day and do not want to interact with anyone, so I am not taking anyone not responding to me as a negative. What I am taking away from this is that saying hello will never be the wrong choice. 

We need to normalize these tiny interactions with each other instead of being scared. We should not hold back because of the fear of not getting a hello or gesture back. We should be doing it to be kind and maybe being a bright spot in someones day. And we should never expect anything in return, this is not what kindness is all about.

"Happy New Year of 2026" Weekly Wisdom

 

Happy New Year!  How is yours going so far?  We are wrapping up the first quarter of the year and here I am rolling in, right on time to align with my New Year and maybe a few additional bonus weeks to boot. I have started 2026 with a bang and look forward to keeping it up allll year long!

I have seen so many of you sharing your intentions or words of the year. I would love to know where you all come up with your words?  Are you on the lookout all year? Does it come to you right before the ball drops? How have your previous words played out for you?

I know it may seem a little cliche to pick a work every year, but I think setting an intention for what you want in your life is never a cliche. It helps set the tone for you: how you will show up, how you will live each day, how you will keep yourself on task. All of these are very difficult because with all best intentions can become all things lost. 

Ever heard of "National Quitters Day" being January 17th for when we begin to bail on our new years resolutions? And by the 2nd week in February, almost 80% of us are over it. This includes that "word" we designate for the year.

Maybe it isn't a word for you, maybe it is something else. How are you keeping the fire alive all year around?  My word and intention for the year is "INPUTS."  All day every day, I am exposed to inputs. Television, news, books, music, prayer, podcasts, conversations, social media, articles, friends, family, peers - the list is endless. 

The average human may process 34 GB of information a day or 100,000 words or roughly 2 books or spending an average 11.8 hours consuming information across all channels. 

This is why I chose my word. If I am absorbing all this information during the day, I need to make sure I am choosing quality inputs. I am going to decrease the doom scroll, be mindful of negativity (but still being aware of what is happening around me), choose quality sources from people I admire, and finally, surround myself with people who lift me up, not bring me down. 

Share with me your word and let's start maximizing each other's inputs.

"Walking Into the New Year" Weekly Wisdom

 

There is something quietly sacred about the moment when one year fades and another begins. Not the presents, fireworks, party hats, or countdowns — but the space between. The pause. The soft exhale when you close one chapter, and the tentative breath before writing the next one.

When I look back over the past months, I see more than just a list of dates and events. I see growth. I see lessons learned — sometimes a little messy (like my kitchen after I cook) and also sometimes tender and unexpected. And I see hope. Because endings aren’t just endings. They’re thresholds.

Once again, I am always going to choose joy because I’ve decided it's worth the effort.  It’s not a reckless kind of joy. It’s not denying what has been hard. It’s not sweeping things under the rug and pretending none of it ever mattered. No — this is the kind of joy that rises from honesty and acceptance. 

Maybe you’re walking into the new year  a little bruised, worn, or tired. Maybe you’ve been carrying grief, disappointment, or unmet expectations. Maybe you’ve felt small, stuck, or invisible. I know that mindspace overload.But this — this turning of the page — doesn’t erase what happened in 2025. Instead, it gives you room to breathe. Room for growth. Room to be gentle on yourself. Room to choose what you want to carry forward.

And you don’t have to choose it all at once. Sometimes joy looks like one deep breath when you wake in the morning. Sometimes it’s the whisper of a new intention. Sometimes — it’s the small, quiet, consistent choices: a kinder thought, a braver step, and even saying no. The ending of this year and the start of the new year won’t ask you to be perfect. It won’t wait for you to figure it all out. It will meet you where you are. 

May the end of this year remind you of how far you’ve come, how deeply you’ve grown, and how much strength you gained without even noticing. And as the new year opens its door to you, may you walk forward steadier than before, braver than you know, and willing to let joy find its way in — on purpose.

"Setting the Mood" Weekly Wisdom

 

 I haven't put up a Christmas tree up in my house for over 10 years. 

2015 changed my whole view on what holidays are really about and missing your heartbeats during one of their favorite times of the year, just didn't feel the same. The tree, the decorations, the music, the gifts really had no meaning to me. My Dad and sister loved Christmas and it just has never felt the same way since. For any of you who have lost loved ones, I see you and I understand your feelings.

This year, I was shopping with a friend and saw this sweet little 3 foot white tree and I started to feel a little different. I passed by it a couple times and decided it needed to come home with me. It stayed wrapped up by my back door for a couple weeks, I couldn't decide if this would be the year I would put it up. But then I put it together. I added lights. I added a couple ornaments. I set it up downstairs in the living room. The next day, I moved it to the kitchen. I just was not finding a placed that I loved it. 

Then I set it up in my bedroom. 

Maybe it is the ambience, maybe it the sense of comfort. Maybe it's the reminder of a those heartbeats who I miss deeply this time of year. Whatever has changed this year, it feels good and I am open to whatever this time of year is trying to tell me. I hope all of you are experiencing some special holiday feels this time of year and remembering the reason for the season.

"More Than Enough" Weekly Wisdom

 

I love this one. It’s simple. But it has a kind of quiet power.

On days when life feels just okay, remembering that we already have more than we think can shift the whole vibe.

When I look around — the relationships I treasure, the health I'm working for, the morning coffee, the strength I’m building — I see that “enough” is already here.

And when I recognize enough, I’m freer to enjoy more — not because I need it, but because I’ve acknowledged what’s already good.

For this week, maybe try this: pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. Name one thing right now that you truly have. And then whisper: thank you. Let that ripple out.

When we anchor ourselves in gratitude, we don’t just add more to our lives — we amplify what’s already there. And that? That feels like magic.

Happy Thanksgiving.

"Imperfectly Pausing" Weekly Wisdom

Last week, I was in my kitchen and dropped a fork on my bare foot. As I started to feel the impact of the mild but annoying pain, I screamed at the top of my lungs "are you f*cking kidding me?" It was the last straw at the end of a very long day and I had hit my limit. I had to let "it" out. I had no idea what "it" was after I belted out my anguish and did some reflection. I couldn't pin point why I had so much anger/rage brewing up inside of me that I had to release it. All I know, I did feel a sense of release after my semi-tearful bellow. 

Sure, I can blame it on this season in my life, hormones, not sleeping well, not being nourished properly...blah, blah, blah.  After a week of still being concerned about where this came from, I did a little more digging and I came up with a few ideas. 

-I am doing way too much shit for other people

-I am not taking any time for away from stimulation (phone, news, computers)

-I am not holding true to my necessary boundaries

-I am not stopping long enough to really check in on myself

There it is friends, I am not taking the time to pause. There is so much power in the pause but there is also a little anxiety in the pause for me. I start to see all things that are going wrong. Imperfections in my life and especially, in myself. When I slow down, I start to see things I do not like and need to work on. This is uncomfortable. This is why I do not pause. I don't want to see it. 

Nothing is perfect, I am not perfect. I know this. The question is, do I accept it?  97% of the time, I do not. This is the push and pull of being at ease with imperfections. Is 97% really good for me?  Apparently not because of the mishap with a fork and a monster coming out of me at 6 pm on a Tuesday. 

I know I am in need of the pause, being ok with being imperfect and finding a little more peace within myself. 

Tell me, how do you sit with imperfection?

 

"Busy is a Choice" Weekly Wisdom

When someone asks how your are, how often do you say you are busy?

I have 55 things on my work to-do list and I have 15 on my personal to do list. But the day is not over, I am sure there will be something added to both of them. This week I have had major anxiety over my work list because there is not enough hours in the day. I am slacking on my sleep and meal prep schedule and I am compromising on some other non-negotiables I swore I wouldn't compromise. Any of this resonate? 

And then I realize, I am only one person...

I don't have to do all the things and get everything crossed off my list in one day. I don't have to sleep 2 hours less a night because I feel bad for not having a task completed AHEAD of time. I don't have to eat saltines and slurp down a protein shake while I am driving and listening to a meeting on Teams. 

What I can do is feel a sense of accomplishment when I do get one item crossed off BECAUSE I was gentle on myself with my timing and took the time to do the task well. I can sleep the whole 7-8 hours I need to be a well functioning human throughout the day. I can sit down for 20 minutes and enjoy a freshly cooked meal without checking emails in between bites. 

Don't let a "to-do" list dictate your life. You will always have one, you will always have things to do and you will always get the important things done. This is a sign of living and stressing less about it is a sign of growth.

"Simplify Your Space" Weekly Wisdom

Think of all the different spaces we are surrounded by in our day to day.   Our homes, our vehicles, our workplace, outdoors, restaurants, places of worship, schools, and shopping spaces. 

Think of all the "things" in those spaces.

How are the spaces are filled?

Now think of the spaces you occupy the most. I want you to take some moments of your day to look around and view what occupies those spaces. Are they full, is there room between items?  Does everything have to fit a certain way for it to work?  Are you able to add and subtract easily or does it involve a process to make it work?

I have started really looking at the different spaces in my life. I have discovered in certain places, I need to simplify. My closet being #1, I have wayyyy too much shit that I am working through. The spaces in my bathroom drawers have things I do not use or need anymore but ignore each time I open and close them. The cabinets in my kitchen have quite of few items that have and will never be used but still are taking up real estate. The corner in my office is filled with a bunch of boxes I have "just in case."

I believe how we fill our spaces is a representation of how we fill our lives. 

If it chaotic, full to the brim and messy - well that is exactly how our life is going. If we start to simplify our physical spaces, we can start to simplify our personal life and head spaces.

"Just Because" Weekly Wisdom

 

When was the last time you changed something in your routine?

The last time was when I changed my laundry detergent. I have always gotten the same laundry detergent my parents got, because they are older and wiser and that's what a daughter does. Until the daughter doesn't anymore and navigates her own way and wants to try something different. I am a creature of habit and have taken all the nuggets of wisdom from my parents and applied them to my own life. Makes sense right?  They have lived longer than me and know more than I do.  But what if I did something different or tried to do something my own way?  Would they be mad?  Will it fail?  Will I fail?

Just because things are always done a certain way, doesn't mean you can't question it and try out something new. It can be scary, the unknown always is but it can also be exciting. I think all moments of life prove to us all that things don't always have to be done the same way.

Changing things up is good!  I know I am a creature of habit and have found making little tweaks in my routine has resulted in improvements. I am saving time, saving money and eliminating excess steps or things I don't really need. I am realizing just because I have always done things a certain way doesn't mean it has to stay this way - and it applies to all areas in my life. My home, my work, my relationships have all benefitted by mixing things up. I am always open to eliminating things that do not serve a purpose anymore and embrace those things that do. There have been some failures of course, but I can always go back to what worked before. No big deal!  I won't know unless I try. 

By all means, stick to things that are working for you but don't be afraid to try it a different way. It is what makes your life yours and yourself uniquely you.

“Rise” Weekly Wisdom

 When was the last time you did or said something to lift someone up, without expecting anything in return? Did you regret it?

When I started working in retail, part of my training was to greet and say hello to every person I encountered during my day at work. I had never done this before. I remember working in the hospital and walking down a long hallway with one other person coming toward me and neither one of us acknowledging each other. This happened all the time and now looking back, I am so mad at myself for not being the one who took the initiative to say hello. Why didn't I just do it? 

Now, I find myself greeting everyone I encounter all day, every day and everywhere. It has trickled into my everyday life:  at the gas station, at the hair salon, at the vet. I am throwing out hellos and smiles like I am getting paid $1000 for each one. I do not give one thought to wanting something in return. Some people do not respond back, some people look at me like I have lost my mind and some people give me all the feels with a smile of their own. 

I have never regretted smiling, saying hello or giving out a compliment to a complete stranger or someone I know.  Everyone is going through something, and even though I have no idea what it is, I know am going to be a second of positivity in their life at that moment and lift them up.

"Three Things" Weekly Wisdom

Three simple sentences and three simple acts. Didn't this quote make you smile?

I think it is important to be grateful instead of humble. Being grateful is being truly thankful and in appreciation of the kindness that surrounds you. Don't hide behind the word humble. I believe no one  is really humble. But I will believe you when you tell me you're grateful. 

I need to eat more vegetables!  Why is it so hard? Damn. We all need to eat more vegetables! Vegetables make our insides and outsides so healthy. Why do we pass up the amazing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for the other crap we eat each day? Get at least 5 servings a day!  We are not getting any younger, but vegetables will help us look and feel younger. 

Love others. Love them like they have never been loved. Hug them and hug them tight. Tell them. Show them. Give them your time. It's never too late. And you can never love enough...

"Better" Weekly Wisdom

Are you doing and being the best human you can be?

I hope we are all doing the best we can in our lives. This is one thing I journal about each day, how was I better today?  This idea of being better, doing better is something that should be at the forefront of each start of the day. 

If you are not working on being better, how can you expect others to do the same?  We must set an example for the other humans in our lives who are watching us, listening to us. There are more eyes on you than you know, especially in the social media landscape. There are people who look up to you and you might not even know it. So if this is true, what are you showing them?  Are you showing them your best?

We can all do better. 

The question is, are you willing to do the work it takes to be better?

Start in your own circles, the people who get to share a part of everyday with you. Your family, your friends and even your social media circles. Show them how being better happens in your life and show them everyday. In tumultuous times like these, we get fired up, engage and put a lot of effort to be better. Then it wears off after weeks, months, years. The issues are still there, but our engagement wears off. Don't let it. And if you keep it present in your everyday life, then you're doing better. 

Learn, listen, engage, and be consistent in doing better.

"The Story" Weekly Wisdom

 

I may have been told once or twice that I am awful at story telling. I tend to just get to the point and deliver it. No fluff or pizazz, maybe a few wild hand gestures but I admit, pretty dull. I know people who are great at it and keep me hanging on a thread to hear the end. I admire their story telling talent and appreciate the creativity that comes with it. But a story does not need to have a grand delivery to make it interesting. I believe a story with an elaborate delivery usually means it's fiction and I will take for what it's worth. I have been told a bit too many of those in my day and always hold a bit of caution in my heart. 

In reality, a story can just be a story. 

We all have a tale to tell, whether it comes from our creative side or it comes from a life lived so far. Do we share it with our voice, with a pen, with a computer that I am typing on right now? Or do we keep it to ourselves and just keep on living?  I suggest sharing it - in any creative way you feel represents you. It might be jazzy or a little mundane like mine, but it is yours and worth sharing. My man friend, who I am beyond proud of, is sharing a version of his story so far with a new music album this week. He is great at story telling.  His music tells his story but also lends the listener to create their own. It truly is an art and something I know I can learn from when I continue to tell my own story. 

What kind of story teller are you?

"Beef It Up" Weekly Wisdom

May is National Beef Month

In the past, there has been a lot of dialogue about agriculture and its effects on the environment. I think this had led to a lot of confusion for all people, including health professionals on how they view food from crop and livestock production. It has gotten a little cloudy and I feel it has taken many of us away from the nutrition these foods provide us. That's why I want to celebrate beef month. 

I am not here to educate you on how currently, emissions from cattle, including those that come from the feed production, fuel, and electricity only account for 3.7% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. But I want to share why beef is happiness to me. Not only is beef delicious and nutritious, but the beef industry continues to implement numerous proven sustainability practices throughout each and every step of the “pasture-to-plate” process that contribute to the way beef is responsibly raised today.

Being responsibly raised and being full of nutrition is why beef makes me happy. One of the biggest way beef has made me happier is because of my own personal health. Because beef has 10 essential nutrients, it has added back some nutrients I was missing from my diet and I have to share with you my own personal story. 

I love beef and all animal proteins but because of a busy lifestyle, my intake decreased. I wasn't finding less time to cook as much with a crazy work schedule. As a result, I was getting less protein, becoming more fatigued, and noticed a few more strands on my hair brush. This led me to a trip to the doctor and I found out I was iron deficient and I knew I needed more protein in my diet with beef. Sure I could take a supplement but I am a firm believer in food first and beef has protein, iron, selenium, vitamins B12 and B6 and zinc - the major nutrients I was missing for energy, muscle growth, and preventing hair loss. As a dietitian, I know all of these are so important to make sure my brain is working, my hormones and thyroid are functioning properly and to keep my stress levels down. 

Along with increasing my produce intake to 6 servings a day, I increased my lean beef intake to 12 ounces a week for 3 months and noticed a change in all my symptoms including my iron deficiency. My favorite recipe right now is this Mediterranean Beef and Salad Pita. Making time to make meals in a non-negotiable and I am happier because I feel better. 

So in a way, maybe money can buy me happiness and health with a delicious burger, a sirloin steak, or a savory pita?

"Freedom" Weekly Wisdom

 

Found my theme for this year, a little late, but still relevant. 

Freedom. 

I'm not talking about the "throw caution to the wind and live in my car" kind of freedom - HA, I would last about 2 days and then I would crumble. No, I am talking about breaking the chains of the constraints I put on myself. And I sincerely mean, the "I put on myself" part. Society does a lot of things to us, mentally and physically but I cannot put the blame on society for the walls I have built around myself. I put up barriers of protection - from criticism, from failure, from being emotional and showing weakness (god forbid ever crying), from frustration/anger and from feeling inadequate or less then. 

No way, you are not going to get to me society or anyone else who has doubted me, treated me like shit, broke my heart or said horrible things about me behind my back - cut to me, continuing to build those walls, brick by brick. I have built this fortress that is holding me back from being truly authentic and living my best life. 

I have felt this way over the past couple years and know it is of my own doing. I am not going to break them all down, there is still going to be a chain linked fence to let in the air and give me the ability to see everything around me. It may feel like the first time but I know while I was under this protection, I have learned, gotten stronger and know very little is ever going to hold me back.  

Any of this feel familiar to you?  With all the chapters in your life, has it made you the architect of walls that are closing in on you?

"Chemistry" Weekly Wisdom

Who out there loved Chemistry in school?

I wanted to love it. I tried to love it. I hired tutors to love it. I went to group study each week to love it. And yet... I could never get a grade higher than a C in any of my chemistry classes in high school or in college. Boy oh boy, did I feel like a complete failure. 

I almost am tempted to retake it now, see if I really just don't get it or was it my young brain that just could not process the information. I fear both scenarios, so I am not going to place that bet. 

I am going to place my bet on the chemistry of life because I feel my success in this subject has come from the atoms and bonds of the humans I have met along the way so far. There is something about this big world and how the protons and electrons of human bodies attract to each other from near and far. As I look back on all those people, people who I had some type of bond with or bonds that were broken with, I can see how chemistry was happening in a positive way for me outside of school. As time passes, I see myself intentionally being the true catalyst in my life, creating the equilibrium of my journey, each step of the way. Only I can create this chemistry in the lab of life and this is how I make peace with those weary chemistry class days. 

Keep the chemistry coming, I love acing tests.

"Life is a Gift" Weekly Wisdom

 

It's a new year and I am welcoming it with robust excitement. I am entering into the last year of yet another decade and what lies ahead is something I am looking forward to. The best part is, I have no idea what lies ahead. I think this is the best part. 

Every day is truly a gift. Don't roll your eyes, stay with me here for a minute. Not one single second of our life is "owed" to us - we don't deserve a damn thing and that includes the seconds and minutes of each day. Therefore, life and time are gifts. I think about people who don't make it to my age for one reason or another and how they did not get this gift of being 49. How they would have done anything for one more second or one more minute of their life. How they would have loved to see a another sunset, hug a loved one, eat their favorite dessert, laugh with their favorite friend or wake up in their comfy bed.  

All of these things are priceless, daily gifts. 

Most days I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. It's the same exact thing each morning and it is so vanilla, but I have learned to check myself and not be an asshole. I am awake, I am alive and I am gifted a few more seconds or a few more minutes to enjoy this life and to strive to be the best version of myself. 

Now go crush the day.

"Power of No" Weekly Wisdom

 

How does the word "no" fit into your life?

 I am aware I have discussed the power of "no" in the past. I am not sure I quite understood how much power it holds in good and bad ways. My "no" has been said mostly for good but I did trip along the way - living and learning the lesson and the power. My podcast guest this month, Maria, shared the perfect complete and simple sentence in her blog to explain her 
"no" reasoning:  "For me, it’s about setting boundaries and saying no to situations, events, or even people that no longer serve me."

Setting boundaries. 

This is one of the most difficult things to learn in our lifetime. I think of myself as a pretty studious person, who knows how to stay curious, study, learn and absorb A LOT of material. But never could I imagine in my life so far, would I understand the challenge of learning of and living out boundaries. As Maria puts it "safeguarding your well-being and mental space."  Wait, I am allowed to do this?  Isn't this selfish?  

It is not selfish. 

If you struggle to take care of #1 (that's you), then you are never going to be in a good place to be of service to others - saying "no" is part of this equation. I started off with saying "no" to easy things like filling up my whole weekend with events. I would say "no" to at least one outing a weekend, knowing I needed that extra time for myself to rest and recharge. I had sincere feelings of guilt for letting people down and this included my family and friends. But I stuck to it, was consistent and it got easier. My family and friends still ask me (thank you for not stopping) but now they also understand where my "no" is coming from - from a place of being a better person and being better company when I do say "yes." 

It is not selfish, you are just giving yourself the power to do what is best for you.

"Almost Third Quarter" Weekly Wisdom

What quarter of your life are you in?

This time of year is just concusses my brain. I get all reflective and sappy about the current state of my life and what I want for the future. Nothing like "new year, new me" but more of "best me, less time."  When I have been compartmentalizing the "time" I have been thinking about my life in quarters - taking me back to high school basketball. 

I have lived through my first, second and now, soon to be approaching my third quarter. I always felt the third quarter in basketball was the most boring quarter. We lost all the momentum with half time, effort and scoring was less and a lot of fans usually left - so the hype was gone.  I probably gave up more more than I should have...and I will come clean, probably doing the same thing with this almost third quarter of my life. There is a lot less hoopla and exciting firsts, there is more heartache and sad things that happen, I feel and think more about my mortality and that of my my loved ones and I catch myself becoming more like my parents (which is not a bad thing AT ALL, my younger self swore she would NEVER do that).

But...I know there is a lot of great things that happen and can happen in the approaching third quarter. There is always greatness. 

As we are ending 2024, take away all the expectations you have for 2025 and put the expectations on what you are going to do with the with the quarter you are in. It is always a good time to have a foundation of being kind, to others and to yourself. It is always a good time to focus on the health of your body and your mind. AND IT IS ALWAYS a good time to enjoy every nick and cranny of your life - the good, the bad and the ugly. It means you are alive and you are gifted another moment in this game of life.
