Welcome to another week of self care posts, my Besties!  I’ve got a lot of good ones planned for you, but I’d like to start the week with a roundup of posts (some written by yours truly, and some not) that will encourage you to get more peace and quiet.   I remember my mom […]

As I’ve been thinking about how to spend some “me time” today, I remembered I’ve been wanting to try the hygge lifestyle and a fika coffee break for a while.  Do you know the difference between hygge and fika? They are all the rage in the world of self care right now, so I thought […]

Hello, my friends!  Today’s post is the first in the series:  Ask Your Bestie.  Today I’m answering the question: “What should I do if I’m in recovery but I don’t like Alcoholics Anonymous meetings?” In other words, does every addict need to attend AA to achieve a successful recovery?   Having worked a great deal […]

I can’t believe it’s the second week of May already!  You know what that means…summer will be here before we know it!  I know, I know…summer doesn’t officially start until June 21, but I can’t help it.  There’s just so many special things about those glorious months of sunny days, vacations, and family time.   […]

Hello and happy Friday, my Besties!  As I shared yesterday, it has been a crazy week for our family, but we have realized just how much we have to be thankful for.  I love writing about gratitude, mostly because the longer I’m alive, the more I realize how amazingly powerful it is to practice gratitude.
