Anyone else feel like they are carrying around a lot more than they usually do? Me too. I decided it was time for a good ole' fashion bag spill to share all the extras I've been carrying around with me, apart from the mental and emotional extras I've been carrrying around. Classic pieces in my [...]

Mindfulness | Sustainability in the Bathroom
As much as I am trying to reduce my plastic waste, I still have some bad habits, the biggest one stares at me from my shower corner a few times a week. The plastic shampoo & conditioner bottles I am dependant on. While I've made great strides to reduce my plastic consumption and I believe [...]
Mindfulness | My Apartment Homestead
I always dreamed of being a farmer. As a little girl, I loved animals & plants. I was an avid agriculture student in high school, raising rabbits and a lamb, participating on leadership teams and horticultural teams. I grew a garden, despite my overwhelming fear of bugs and dirt. Today, my desire to be a [...]
Mindfulness | Me as an Enneagram Four
So, last week I talked about the enneagram and how I’m a Four. It took me a long time to accept my fourness, I didn’t like or want to accept certain tendencies that I have. And within the enneagram, every number can easily be stereotyped and Fours are the moody artist type. My Four Tendencies [...]

Mental Health Awareness is special to us because my husband has a diagnosed illness. Because we’ve walked through the messy side of mental health for a long time before [...]
Mindfulness | Mother’s Day

Wear it Wednesday | Faith, Fashion, and Creation Care
Creation Care ought be innate to being Christian, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Choosing to care for the earth and living being mindful is seen as hippie and defiantly not mainstream. Over the years, I’ve found small ways to be more mindful, minimize waste, and reduce our energy consumption. Being mindful begins [...]
