  • deck.

    I bought the card deck at a bookstore when there were a number of young students on my caseload whose life circumstances sucked. There is really no other way to describe it. When children are living in the chaos of undesirable (toxic, dangerous) life circumstances, it may not be reasonable to teach skills, tools, and strategies. There will be a…

  • momentum.

    The second trip my mom and I took a tour and learned more about how students from the college were integrated into the fabric, and evolving expression of this historic, eclectic, progressive, conservative, diverse, artistically styled Southern town.

  • eager.

    This blog post is leading to the unexpected inspiration I received after completing several of the books I purchased from a summer ’22 sticker stop in Savannah, Georgia at the Savannah College of Art and Design, known as SCAD. The Bee and the Acorn, a memoir by Paula Susan Wallace.

  • 2022.

    The biggest personal accomplishment is simply: ‘I did it’. As much as I am ready to see observable results in sales and engagement, for now I can find satisfaction with ‘I did it’. It’s all I got. But. I’d be lying if I said I’m not ready for somethingmore. May the fresh start of a new year bring you the…

  • discovery.

    I am one who did not have a horrible quarantine/post Covid experience. One thing I benefited from was narrowed down choice making. Since many things were closed, and options were minimized, it was easier to focus on new learning. I could listen to a podcast, and then follow up with the ‘nugget shares’ and learn new things in what seemed…

  • reinvent.

    Speaking of reinvent, my blog name has shifted on its own. I refer to my content now as day. That’s it: day. I also kind of like the sensual vibe. I’m working that out. Selfcare and sensual living go together. If you read my posts, you know what I mean by sensual: experiencing day in the moments through the physical…

  • pleasure.

    In Yoga, I learned this same concept to be the root chakra. The ground floor. Grounding into present time and space to access a sense of safety and security that allows the energy to flow. When this chakra is open, there is now access to the second chakra: pleasure.

  • regulate.

    In Quiet Time, one becomes the noticer of the inside world of thoughts, sensations, and impulses that guide action. One is also the noticer of what it feels like to be regulated. One begins to recognize that there is an inherent sense of a balanced or regulated state of being in day. Extreme conditions can happen, and we can tell…

  • self.

    Over the last few years (post quarantine) I’ve noticed that the ‘academics’ I pay attention to have begun their more recently published books with a section on defining terms. It’s an interesting thing to consider for one whom has a desire to be an authentic communicator – (ie. ‘are we even talking about the same […]

  • mistakes.

    “There are no throwaways; you are not your last decision,” is what I think I heard the person being interviewed say as I scrolled through my Instagram feed yesterday… I have made some really bad decisions in moments where it seemed as if I had more control and ability to make a better decision. In these moments that I am…
