Music Que: Frank Sinatra, My Way Courage. According to Ellen, it’s “being scared and doing it anyway.” Letting go. The theme of the year. Compaction. My own made up word – a combination of Compassion and Action. Mix it all up and you have, “Time for NEXT!” For the last year, I’ve written about NEXT,… Continue reading MindFULL Evolution

Free The Monkey!
I love signs. Both metaphorically and physically. I look for them everywhere. When the clock strikes 11:11 (which is crazy that I happen to notice it so often), I see it as a sign to set an intention. Years ago I made this little reminder sign and keep it on my shelf - Choice. It's… Continue reading Free The Monkey!
Crack Me Up
I’ve been on a roll this past week. After months of dormant creativity, I engaged in some serious work about what was blocking me. As soon as I got down and honest, it was amazing how my energy began to flow! I started looking at things that were bothering me, not so much as problems,… Continue reading Crack Me Up
Launching Creative Inspiration
Have you ever had a really long flight and wanted something to do, or enjoyed sitting in a café watching the people go by and had an idea, or been somewhere that has inspired you and you wanted to capture the essence? One way I have found to bring MindFULL joy to such moments is… Continue reading Launching Creative Inspiration
MindFULL Upcycle
It’s 64 degrees in Denver, which makes us forget it’s January and lulls us into thinking it’s March. With the sun shining in, I feel motivated and a bit utsy. Much to my husband's chagrin, that means wanting to do a house project. There are a few more big things I’d like to do, but… Continue reading MindFULL Upcycle
Home
It’s Spring! Finally. And for me that means I get to sweep off of the winter dust, fluff the pillows on the porch and see what the decorating magazines, Pinterest and Houzz are showing. Let me grab a vodka seltzer, extra lime, and kick back… Woa! What’s with all the high prices? Recently, I saw… Continue reading Home
LIghts, Camera, Action
They say that our darkest hours are our hardest. But, I say, it depends on the dark. Every so often, I duck out of life and take myself to the movies. I love to sit in the dark, turn off the real world and enter the one on the screen. “Don’t you feel guilty?” asked… Continue reading LIghts, Camera, Action
Birds Eye View
It’s school break and that means lots of house time. Funny what I notice about my house after sitting in the same chair for hours. Seeing things with a new perspective can help me think that I have created something new, without spending much money. Take this drink stand I recently purchased. It just sat… Continue reading Birds Eye View
Thinking Inside The Box
Ya know the old adage, "Hear it three times, pay attention?" Well, last week, three different encounters reminded me of an old ritual I learned years ago: If you have a worry to let go of, dream to manifest or intention to hold, simply write it on a piece of paper and place it in… Continue reading Thinking Inside The Box
Life and Summer’s MindFULL Music
If there was a song that summed up who you are, or reflected where you are at this point in time, what would it be? The song for my life thus far would be Carol King’s Tapestry. I was inspired to think about this after watching my daughter use music to reflect on her 10… Continue reading Life and Summer’s MindFULL Music
