The Mantra That Made Me Want a Future Again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I yell out into the divine universe, “I am enough! I choose peace! I surrender!” Spoiler alert: come to find out, the words are themselves are not magic. Damn.You can scream a mantra, like “I am enough!” until you are blue in the face, but if you’re entire day is spent comparing yourself to everyone else, abandoning yourself whenever you’re uncomfortable, the mantra has very little to hold on to. “I choose peace,” doesn’t mean peace just suddenly arrives. Are you choosing peaceful situations? Ar
The Fall Edit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You know it’s officially fall when my kids start asking me to order their Halloween costumes (cue Mary Poppins).

Read excerpt
You can imagine my extreme joy when I read that lazy beauty is officially “in.” It’s something I’ve subscribed to for years and when Geri Hirsch shared this article in her Weekly Update, I jumped for joy. As someone who genuinely doesn’t love makeup, or quite frankly brushing my hair, I finally feel seen (ha!). I grew up on a farm in Texas, where beauty wasn’t really part of the conversat
My Divorce Ring Story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Emily Ratajkowski shared her story about her divorce rings, I paid very close attention. At that time I was just under a year after my own divorce, and thanks to the way things shook out, I was sitting on two beautiful rings I’d acquired during my marriage. Not my original engagement ring or wedding band, but two pieces that were always going to be mine.But I still found myself feeling guilty about it. I sat on the choice for quite some time and mostl
