During my first career as a Social Worker at the VA Medical Center, I was told a joke about how our system was so old a dinosaur ran it. The policies and practices were outdated, leaving employees saying dangerous things like, “I don’t know why…it’s just the way we’ve always done it.” As a creative … Read More
I’m going to be honest with you about this, but before I am, repeat after me: I make the rules. Say it again for the people in the back. IIIIIIIIII MAKE THE RULES. It’s true. When it comes to our own personal style, we each get to make our own, unique, personal rules. Yet I’m … Read More
These are my very favorite denim shorts, converted from Lucky Brand jeans after years of wear. They have ZERO STRETCH and that’s how I like my cut-offs (stretchy shorts stick to your thighs and my gams need room to move!). Some years they’d fit just right and some years they hung off my hips.

I call it the 80/20 rule. 80% classic.* 20% fun, trendy, fluff.** The 80/20 rule … Read More
Sometimes we use our clothes to allure in our desires. Attracting people, jobs, experiences and material things closer to us. And that’s ok! As you do this, make sure you remember your worth with or without those clothes (or people, places or things)! Consider what or who you want to draw into your field and … Read More
Over the past few weeks I have felt called to sit outside watching the simplicity of the leaves, listening to the songs of the birds and breathing in the crisp mountain air. I have had a range of emotions post-election and I can’t think of a better place to gain peace and clarity than on the … Read More
Isn’t it wonderful when you speak, think or do something and everything around you seems to just “get it?” It’s as if all beings were somehow related, that they were connected.
