Wow! It has been 498 days since my last post, and to say things have changed feels like a bit of an understatement. Let's see. 498 days ago I was in my second year of graduate school, considering rekindling things with an old flame, and living and working in a place I love and surrounded… Continue reading Motivational Monday: What’s Permanent?

Motivational Monday: Be a Game Changer
This weekend was filled with triggering news that I’m sure brought up anxiety and all sorts of emotions. And as I shared on the Kermit Says...

Motivational Monday: It Starts With Love
I'm going to keep today's post short and simple because the solution to what happened this weekend (and every day before and after) is just that: short and simple.

Kermit Says: Give Peace, Love, and Joy
Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you've stumbled upon radio stations playing 24-hours of Christmas tunes (NSYNCs Christmas album, anyone?), seen a myriad of commercials informing your Christmas wish lists (gotta love those Apple and Coca-Cola commercials), and wasted countless hours watching Christmas-themed films (It's a Wonderful Life and Elf are among my favorites)! It's so easy to get brain… Continue reading Kermit Says: Give Peace, Love, and Joy
Kermit Says: I’m Here For You
I love the holiday season! It's a time when folks can go home, reconnect with family and friends, and reflect on both the challenges and blessings of the season.
