Self-love is powerful. It is also something that doesn’t always come naturally. It often takes a lot of practice before it becomes habitual. Even then, reminders are needed! I hope these 28 self-love quotes serve as a reminder on the power of self-love, self-kindness and self-care. I hope they also provide a little inspiration to focus on your strengths, your gifts and your unique […]

A few weeks ago my 7-year had her microphone in hand getting ready to sing a song she wrote. “Hi, I’m Caitlin Shrewsberry and today I’m going to be singing Dance Like Nobody’s Listening” and then she went on with this inspirational talk about sharing your gifts with the world. I wish I would have gotten […]

Yesterday was a day off school/work in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.   I loved seeing all of the posts and quotes shared, but wondered how many people actually took the time to appreciate the significance of the day and the life of Dr. King. I’ll admit, the majority of our day he was not […]

I’m an admitted self-help type books junkie. I love reading to learn new things and have reminders of all the options to keep moving along in our life’s journey in a positive way. I especially love the books that give you fresh perspective and leave you feeling inspired to make change, without making you feel overwhelmed with a huge […]

Last week at a girls dinner we were chatting  about how hard it is to be at home and just sit, relax and do nothing. There is always something that could be done and the guilt often overpowers the real need to just be still. Even a friend who has been sick and stuck in […]

Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope your day is filled with lots of love, gratitude, family, friends, good food and things that make you happy!  And if you’re not feeling especially happy or grateful today…no worries, you are not alone!   I started my day a little grumpy, but quickly reminded myself that this is my typical pattern.

Do you ever have days when you just feel beat down as a parent? Yesterday, I had one of those tough parenting days. Nothing major, but just several little mistakes mixed with a feeling of overwhelm and a whole lot of beating myself up that left me feeling terrible by the end of the day. […]

Last week I read this heart-breaking story about Penn track star Madison Holleran, who took her own life at age 19. It struck a chord, as it does every time I hear a story about the devastating effects of suicide, untreated mental illness, or addiction. The earliest memory I have of realizing the devastation of […]

In the midst of my 2-year old’s tantrum, I found compassion. It’s a little hard to admit that I’m not always the most patient person when it comes to my children’s tantrums. The timing is never good. The screaming starts exactly when it’s time to walk out the door, eat lunch or dinner, right before […]
