Home. Life. Work. Ease.
For an introduction to this 10 Days of Reading series, click here. We’re jumping right in today with one of my favorite categories of books—cookbooks! For the record, yes, I sit down and read cookbooks from cover to cover. I highly recommend it! It’s a great way to learn cooking, rather than just following recipes. I’ve picked up tons of great techniques from really well-written cookbooks. Here are some of
I’m in your inbox today to kick off a surprise 10-day series I think you’ll love! Starting tomorrow, I’m going to email you with a list of my favorite books from ten different categories, one each day. These books (or more specifically, the ideas they contain) have helped form my viewpoint, improved my life and made me who I am. In many cases their authors are my mentors, even though
Let’s talk about the state of the world, shall we? Rather than being depressed about the things that frighten me and the things I wish weren’t so, I’m choosing to be filled with hope for a better future. I’m choosing to trust in our collective power to create something more perfect. I find hope in the ignition of the younger generation’s #marchforourlives, the way they are slowly but surely dismantling
Out of the pregnant darkness of sleep, a dream begins. Not like most dreams; vivid, yes, but this one feels important. Sit up straight, something’s about to happen. I sit up straight to find my spine filled from tail to crown with a glimmering light. I feel, rather than see, that this glowing column illuminates my body from the inside out. Pooled on the floor around me I observe the
Remember This is a periodic blog series of thoughts, quotes and inspiration that I want to remember—and you might, too. Things I’ve learned about life so far, and don’t want to forget (like my human brain has a tendency to do). You can view the all the posts in the series here. The letter below, supposedly written by Chief Seattle to the government in Washington, DC, first came across my
I’ve been musing, as I often do, about this whole blog thing and why I do it. I dream that someday I’ll be able to sum up in a pithy sentence what it is I say and do around here, and somehow it will quickly and magically convey the magnitude of what it means to me. (I’m not entirely sure that’s possible. I keep failing, but I never stop trying.)

I want to share an idea that has been rolling around in my mind and inspiring me ever since I learned it. I was listening to a Pod Save the People Podcast featuring Brene Brown earlier this month, and this idea stuck out to me and stretched my brain wide into new territory, in the best possible way. The idea is this: Hope is not a feeling. It’s a behavioral
