A Reminder for Anyone Who Feels Behind Right Now
One with a few words but giant vibes as we wrap up 2025. Here’s a snackable truth: the calendar may be running out, but you’re not. You’re still moving—sometimes with momentum, other times like you’re dragging a mountain in some dusty, worn-out flip-flops. Didn’t cross off all your finish lines? Shake it off, Luv. You’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Read this if you feel behind (though you’re not). You don’t need to rush this season I’m calling this an active change, and you’re allowed to keep going at this pace. You don’t need to justify your pace. It’s time for you to enjoy this, and all the seasons—tied…

Reveal to Claim: My Word of the Year Journey
Earlier this week, roll back to Tuesday, I shared that I’ve been stuck choosing my Word of the Year for 2026.Not because I did, or did not, have a bevvy of ones to choose from—but because the weight of the right word matters to me, because it really, really works. These 5 are the ones I’ve been circling: A friend recently said something that stuck with me: You already know who you are. You don’t need to reveal it, you need to claim it. And once you do, you can actually own what comes with it. KWL Umm… OK, Babe! Lovin’ the thought process! Backstory: A few years ago, this…

My 2026 Word of the Year Will Pull Me Forward
Because it has to! I thought choosing my Word of the Year for 2026 would feel easier, clarifying even with my word of 2025 working out so well–COMPLETE.Well, truthfully, it was my word for 2024 because, as you can guess, I didn’t COMPLETE it. Instead, trying to choose my word feels… revealing. I keep bouncing around words in my head that still keep asking me to step even more forward, and not pull back or chill for a second.None of my words are about becoming someone new—I like to adjust and edit as I go along now that I’m solidly in my Big Age. But they seem lockstep in fully…

How to Survive December When You Absolutely Hate the Cold
Let me be clear from jump: I am not a cold-weather loving girly. I do not flourish in frost. I do not awaken joyfully to the dank darkness. And I have never, nor will I ever, romanticize a numb bum, fingers or toes.I miss the beach. I miss sand. I miss sun. And when I’m on the Maryland side, that delicious summer heat hugs instead of attacks – 99-degree boob-sweat days aside, clearly. Every year, my brain has to formally come to terms with the fact that for the next three months, I will be waking up in darkness and also ending my days in darkness. At some point in the…

When Your Perception Can Let You Down
We all think we know what we see. But do we really? Consider the last time you misjudged someone, or they misjudged you. Maybe because of your bubbly, loud, and silly personality, they assumed you were a “go-along-to-get-along” person and not someone with deeper thoughts or stronger beliefs. Or perhaps you misread them, thinking you understood their intentions. These moments remind us that our perceptions are not always accurate—or that, with time and knowing more, they’ve adjusted. It’s easy to get lulled into believing we have a clear view of the world around us. Our eyes are open, our ears alert. But perception isn’t just about what we see or…

How to Redefine “Enough” in the Holiday Season
Lately, I’ve been hearing the collective exhale from people everywhere—friends, strangers online, across the globe, all saying some version of: “You know what? I don’t need anything this year.” “I’m so over all this unnecessary spending, going broke, and for what?” The mass consensus: Let’s cancel all the holidays! Woah Nelly! Hold up! Slow down! Christmas is LITERRALLY my FAVE holiday. It was the time in my childhood that my mum (RIP❤️) was the least nuts, and in fact, full of cheer – brimming over if you will! Me and my sister could damn near do no wrong, and cancelling?… That ‘aint happening! Nope! #IWillFightYou. OK fine. Calm down, cause…
