I love constantly learning more about myself. I have always found treasure in self-help and self-improvement books. And somewhere along the way I began calling it “self-growth” and “self-awareness” as I continue to unearth abundance.
Because I finally understood that I was never deficient. That there was never anything to fix in the first place.

We all have felt overwhelmed. Sometimes it’s low-grade, other times it’s intensive. Regardless, we need self-care when it hits. Lucky for us, there is a remedy that works in response to stress and overwhelm. And bonus: it also works as a proactive measure for the same!
Meditation. And it’s not necessarily what you think it is.
- Hey, is that the thing with all the chanting?
- I thought it was prayer.
- Can’t I just go for a walk?
Yes. Or not. To all of that. And so much more.
It’s Okay to Get What You Want; Here’s How.

What if our best interest is to realize nothing is missing? —Pam Grout
What are you working toward in your life? What’s missing? What do you wish you had more of?
As creative, ever-expanding beings, we are great problem-solvers and self-improvement enthusiasts. Overcoming and surviving are badges of honor, and we are superb at fixing and solving. We recognize that we want something better, something more, something…else — and we pursue these dreams.
And although we think we’re focusing on the happy thing we are working towards, we are actually giving our attention to the fact that we’re working towards that happy thing. Which means we don’t have it.
We can spend our lives in constant search of something that we perceive is missing.
Here’s a simple, two-step realization to get what you desire:
You don’t have to go all-out; you have to just go.

Have you ever wanted to begin something new and interesting — a new exercise habit, a different way of eating, a hobby — but it felt so huge that you postponed starting?
We’ve heard before that all we have to do is just…start. It’s simple, it’s true, and yet… it’s not always easy.
Well, I’ve learned a way to start that is easy. And joyful. Maybe it will work for you, too:
Creating Space

In a fit of winter catharsis, I cleaned out the storeroom.
Let me first clarify that I absolutely adore my cozy home. I’m grateful that the upstairs log walls are not covered and hidden by extra separated areas. They’re beautiful, and they hold and radiate a lot of warmth when exposed. Downstairs, our optimized basement features our family projection movie room (best home feature ever!). Creative use of limited square footage ingeniously utilizes a door-sized clothes rack, well, exactly behind the opened door of each bedroom (upstairs and downstairs).
Technically, this house has no actual closets. And yet it works beautifully. Which makes me think I should write a book on creative storage options…but I digress.
The point is, years ago my husband had built a storage room downstairs for me. One that I can walk into and move around a bit in. More importantly, one that I can shut the door on and eliminate the visual chaos that’s behind it. Because…everything is behind it.
Home is where we store our stuff.
