There are some posts that I write that make me feel a bit queasy when I publish them. I am already feeling that about this one, and I haven’t even written it yet.
I feel an unsettling inside of me. Like the real me is trying so desperately to emerge from this cocoon held together by the me that I thought I was – the me that I tried to be – the me that no longer feels like me.
Do you feel this way, too?
As hard as this authentic me has been pushing through the barriers – wading
It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!

While sitting in a restaurant a few weeks ago with my mother and one year old son, we were approached by an elderly man. Having someone come over to talk to Alex is nothing new: he’s a sweet guy with a charming smile that he spreads around indiscriminately. Someone once referred to him as a ball of joy. However, this man’s reaction was novel.
“You have such a sweet smile; you need this.” He handed Alex a little carved
I’m super excited about today’s interview! I am turning Soul Speak over to my amazing husband, Dan. He sat down with Scott Blum and had a soulful chat – they talked about Scott’s newest book, Winter Moon Rises, spirituality, being a dad, and so much more! So without further ado… enjoy!
About seven years ago, while Jodi and I were living in the red-rock mountains of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, she subscribed to a website called DailyOM

I’ve missed you. I’ve missed this – checking in. Being still. Being real. Being me. Being here.
I had such big plans to sit down and write a “good” post – something with “wow” and “pizazz.” Something that was sure to inspire and have us all look at our lives in a new way.

I am here to write from my heart – from my soul.

My kids recently asked me what was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me.
Well, lots of them I had to censor for my kids… and don’t particularly want to share on the internet, either.
But once I started really digging into the G-rated stuff that I could share, I started laughing so hard with them, and it felt soooo good. Hearing them laugh along too just had me breathless with joy.
I told them about the
Today is a special day! My sweet dog-ter, Xena, is celebrating her 12th birthday!
Xena is a beautiful Norwegian Elkhound who introduced herself to Dan and me by bounding down a mountain road with a huge smile on her face. That was nine years ago, and we have shared many years of love since then.
She was our neighbors’ dog, but after meeting and feeling such a strong connection, we have been almost inseparable since. Thankfully, through a series of miraculous events, she was able to come with
