You know I love me some Coach Taylor, so I never miss a chance to share his wisdom, but for this weekend’s mindfulness challenge, it happens to be especially relevant. It may actually be more like “full heart, clear eyes” in our case, but we’ll still give it to him. This week, we talked about […]

You know how there are some people who just get on your nerves? Maybe their take on things always seems different than yours, or their communication style is hard to listen to, or maybe they’re just straight up not nice.

May we all have a peaceful week.

There’s nothing like hindsight to make the dots of your life connect. It’s easy to look back and see how challenges and obstacles that you encountered eventually led you to growth, opportunity, and maybe even happiness. We say things like, “If I hadn’t been through that, I wouldn’t be where I am now,” and so

Chances are, when you were a kid, someone raised you right and taught you to say “thank you” when someone did something nice for you. If you forgot, you got a little (or not so little) nudge from the grown-up side to do so. As adults, most of us are pretty good at remembering to
Good morning! I hope it was a great weekend for you. A little reminder here to start your week in the right frame of mind. How we think about things shapes our experience with them. Hope your Monday is full of positive thoughts!
