    Doing What’s Right vs. What’s Allowed Sometimes in life, just because you have the right to do something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing to do.

    A recent journaling prompt asked me to reflect on what defines me. My first thought was my core values—the principles that guide my life.

    How often have you felt the need to shrink yourself—to quiet your voice, dull your dreams, or take a back seat in your own life? Maybe it was in a crowded meeting, a close relationship, or even in the pursuit of a personal goal. I spent many years shrinking. The belief that we should minimize…

    As the new year begins, these two phrases often make their rounds. As I reflect on the year ahead, I find that a little of both resonate with me. At my core, I am still me—my values, my “bones,” remain steadfast. But how those values manifest in my life can evolve. Personal growth, whether intentional…

    The other evening, my cherished puppy Quila was lying peacefully in front of the Christmas tree. She wasn’t asleep—just quietly relaxing while keeping a loving eye on me. As the time for her evening treat approached, I turned to her. She lifted her head, made direct eye contact, and smiled in the way only a…

    Inspired by John Maxwell’s wisdom, I’ve made it an annual tradition to dedicate time during the last week of the year to reflect on the past 12 months.

    The fourth principle of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz—Always Do Your Best—resonates deeply with my core values of honesty and integrity.

    The third principle of The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz—Don’t Make Assumptions—aligns powerfully with my core value of intentionality. Assumptions, while seemingly harmless, often pave the way for misunderstandings, unnecessary stress, and fractured relationships.
