The Weekly Joy🌿


Hi Reader,

Happy Friday. 😊

The snow is finally melting around here, the days are lasting a bit longer, and with that comes the anticipation of Spring and all the life it brings. I don't know about you, but I like the feeling.

You might notice things look a little different around here. I have been working behind the scenes on a refreshed look for my site. It's a little cleaner and more "me". It's still evolving, but I hope you'll take a look around and explore.

This past weekend, I spent time with friends and it was really good for the heart, soul and mind. It made me realize that a simple moment, laughter, and a change of pace can really make a difference and spark some momentum.

I wrote about it here in my latest post, How Simple Moments Create Momentum.

What's Helping Me Lately

Lately, it's the simple things making the biggest difference:

  • getting outside for a walk
  • listening to something uplifting instead of overthinking
  • spending time with family and enjoying conversations with my sons
  • focusing on just a few small things I can actually finish in a day

I've also been working on some new ideas that center around this concept of building momentum in a way that actually fits real life.

More to come on that soon...

If you're in a season where you are trying to move forward, I created something simple that might help:

Happy weekend, friends. This week's note is just that...a note. This was an emotionally draining whirlwind of a week. It felt like one big transition all happening at once. The baby birds finally left the nest within my front door wreath. After weeks of watching them grow bigger by the day, suddenly one morning… they were gone. At almost the exact same time, my boys came home from college. It all felt strangely symbolic. One chapter ending while another begins. This past week was full of...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday. This week has felt emotional in a lot of ways. The baby birds in the nest on my front door wreath are getting big now. Every day I check on them and they look bigger, braver, and a little more ready to fly away. Watching it happen has been so amazing and emotional at the same time. I don't want them to leave! Maybe that’s because as they get ready to fly this week, my own boys are coming home too. My son’s college graduation was supposed to be this Sunday, but because...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday and first day of May. 😊 If you read the last Weekly Joy, you know I found a bird’s nest tucked into my front door wreath. Five tiny blue eggs, sitting in a space I pass every day. It felt symbolic in a way, as we navigate a somewhat empty nest of our own. Well…three days ago, they hatched. Now it’s a whole different scene. Tiny little babies, beaks open, parents flying back and forth, constant movement, constant care. It went from stillness to activity almost...
