Why Do I Sometimes Dread Opening My Email?

It occurred to me today that when I opened my inbox, I had a subtle bodily reaction of fear. A mild fight or flight response. I think I was bracing for something bad, but why? Some part of me dreads opening my inbox because there might be something bad lurking among my unread messages. In my mindful state of awareness,…

Why I am Drinking Coffee Again

I have a confession to make. Remember my post awhile back where I quit coffee? Well here I am drinking it again. In fact, if it wasn't for the coffee-boost, I don't think this post would have been written at all. So I'm a hypocrite. I flip flop on my viewpoints. I was a wee bit scared to write this…

The Cycle of Discontent and Creation

This past weekend I did something on my bucket list: I slept in a treehouse. Yep, it was a goal of mine for a while and I finally did it. It was amazing and everything I thought it could be. Ever since I had seen photos of amazing looking treehouses and bizarre luxury hotels on Pinterest years ago, I had…
