I love this idea, I don’t know if I can do the running, but I can try… just maybe not at 8 miles an hour yet 😁

Did you set a New Year’s resolution? Did you set a word of intention for the year?
Every year many of us start the year out with goals we have set and then we just start going. We start working out or we start reading or we work more hours. How often does all of that work actually feel exhausting? Almost Always!?!

That’s because it is exhausting! Too often we convince ourselves that if we are moving and doing and going, we are being successful and we are achieving things, but we’re not. Not really. When we move and go and do without alignment, we are spinning our wheels, and it will still not feel like enough.

Last year, I took a lot of time to not only be intentional with what I wanted, but to make sure the way I went about it worked for me and who I was and where I was in my own journey.

I have had years of experience and training with grief and trauma work. By readjusting my approach to make sure it was in alignment with me, I can happily say I have added three more letters after my name as a certified grief informed professional! My trauma credentials will follow soon!

I invite you to share your resolutions or words or goals below, but challenge you to reflect on them and share how you are going to approach them so that they are in alignment with you.

Have a friend that you know needs to do this as well? Reach out to them to let them know you want them to succeed and then Invite them to this page so they can participate as well.

Wishing you all many blessings in this new year! Let’s all work towards our own alignment and harmony !

As 2025 comes to a close, ask yourself “Am I living my life in true alignment with who I am?”

If your answer is yes, celebrate and set your intentions for next year.

If your answer is no, take some time to reflect on what you believe needs to be different, or reach out to me, let’s talk about it. When you identify what it is, then set your intentions for next year.

I invite you to comment below with your intentions and share this with someone you love who could use the opportunity to do the same 🥰

Wishing you all a year of alignment and harmony and peace. From my family to yours ❤️

Oh my goodness! Motivational Monday came and gone, so very busy. Don’t let the busy of this week overwhelm your heart.

As you move through this week, let love be your compass. In the quiet moments, the busy ones, and everything in between, choose what nurtures your heart and honors your alignment and who are becoming. However you spend it, let love lead.

Often times when I feel uncertain, nervous or anxious about knowing what my future holds, I try to do all the things and make a number of moves and in that busyness, I forget…

Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And

Psalms 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in all the earth.

And

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Posting my Saturday morning studies to help me focus and remember.

Does this resonate for you? Do you know someone who could use this reminder today? Share the post with them, invite them to follow this page and join you on the journey to alignment and harmony.

Walking away from the familiar quest to be “perfect”, to pursue what truly aligns with you takes courage.

It is important to remember you’re not beginning again, you’re choosing to move forward wiser, clearer, and more grounded in what you want.

Our professional careers are a journey, and I have spent many years working towards my own alignment.
When I stopped striving for perfection and those self imposed expectations that were measured by what I thought, other people expected, I was able to find alignment and harmony between my work and my passions. Showing who I truly am.
This week I was honored with a service award that is nominated by my peers, but then reviewed and selected by our leadership’s Dean‘s council. It is truly an honor to be recognized for all the work I am doing to serve my community, my college, and my profession.

Thank you so much for this award!
