What a wild ride the past 21 years have been! It’s been exhilarating, inspiring, soul-filling, exhausting, and absolutely, hands-down simultaneously the best and hardest thing I’ve ever done. And I am so proud of who they have become and can’t wait to see what they do next.

They are my inspiration, my motivation, and my “why” in everything I do.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas of every kind!

Social media is good for a lot of self expression, but what is it doing to our listening skills?

Can we (and my “we” I mean “me”) listen more that we express? And can we listen with kindness, curiosity, empathy, love and humanity?

Can we listen to really understand someone else’s point of view?

This is 15!

She is equally as talented as she is hilarious. She brings so much love and laughter to our lives.

I love watching her journey unfold and I’m so proud of all that she has accomplished already!

Happy birthday Finley Moon! 🌙

Go have the BEST. DAY. EVER!

Everyday.

#findthepositiveeveryday #optimism #bestdayever

Ask yourself today, “What’s going right?”
…And see what happens!

#optimist
#findthepositiveeveryday

Sometimes you just need to yell into the abyss…
Or a pillow
Or in the car
Or in the bathroom
Whatever works!

#positivemindfulness #findthepositiveeveryday

Optimism opens the door to opportunity and possibility, while pessimism shuts all the doors.

Not to be confused with blind optimism or toxic positivity, it is the hope for a good (even great) future. And we could use a little bit of that.

March glimmers.

It was a great month!

Throwback.
9 years goes pretty fast.
This memory popped into my head this morning even before the photo did.

One of my best days.
Ever.
So glad it happened. And happy to celebrate the anniversary of this wonderful day.

Everybody is creative.
Yes, everyone.
Even you.
Good news: Little, daily, micro,-creativity gives us a happiness boost
Bad news: most of our daily micro creativity goes unnoticed

So notice the next time you get creative in your cooking or putting together an outfit or doing your kiddos hair or organizing or decorating. Little bits of creativity are happening every single day. We just need to notice it.

2016 was a great year…

We began our adventures, celebrated, and did a lot of yoga!
We were introduced to aerial, paddle boarding, got yoga certified, started a business, caught up with old friends, and sent our last kindergartener off to school!

#2016

I love a good children’s book with a positive, mindfulness message and I have created a collection over the years, so I want to start sharing them with you! I use them when I teach positive mindfulness classes and I used them as bedtime stories when my kids were little because they provide great talking points!

I have started a little mindfulness library, so stay tuned to hear about more of them!

#mindfulnessstories #findthepositiveeveryday #positivemindfulness

I found myself getting dragged down by someone else’s negativity. And if that’s ever happened to you (which I guarantee it has!) listen to this.

Be the light. Find the positive.

Pessimism and negativity are SO much easier for us to access that sometimes it just feels too hard to be optimistic or positive… but I promise that it’s worth it. Every time. 😘😘😘

November glimmers.

Friends, family, date nights, magical nature, musical theatre, and a good hair appt! 😜

what’s not to be grateful for?!

What better time of year to talk about the impact of the kindness of strangers ?
- This is a reminder that they are really great people in the world. Pablo’s car was broken into the other night at 6:30 PM in River Oaks while he and Finley were at dinner and watched through the window as the robbers smashed the glass of his locked car and took Finley’s backpack with all of her dance shoes and script and make up. She was devastated. That night we quickly made a plan to spend the next day, replacing the dance shoes, script, and the makeup since her show opens next week! As Finley and I were in the dance shoe store, I get a text from Pablo that simply says “found!” he then follows up with “check your Facebook messages.” A woman named Lana found Finley‘s backpack and all of her belongings that had been strewn all down her street and proceeded to collect them all, put them back in her backpack, and then hit the internet to figure out how to get in touch with us. Luckily for us she knows how to research on the Internet and managed to contact TUTS, myself, and Pablo through his law firm through a series of super-sleuthing avenues thanks to social media!

The constructive criticism switch I’m working on as a mom: notice what is right first.

#positiveparenting #thestrengthswitch #findthepositiveeveryday

I live in the most adorable naturehood and I’m so grateful for that. Just the scenery alone motivates me to get out and walk every day and if that doesn’t do it, the chance that I’ll spot an alligator or a couple of river otters is pretty motivating as well. 💚🍁

#18DaysOfGratitude #gratitude #findthepositiveeveryday

I’m gonna practice gratitude for the next 18 days in a different way every day. I’m gonna share the different ways I’m practicing, so if you wanna join me, feel free! Check my stories for the daily themes!
#18daysofgratitude

1. People who practice gratitude are shown to be happier people.

2. when you practice a strength, like gratitude, in a different way every day, you have richer, longer lasting effects.

3. gratitude is contagious so that when you share it, other people feel it too. So I will be sharing it here.

#gratitude #gratitudepractice

Want to develop a habit that guarantees you more happiness? Start a gratitude practice today and see how you feel 21 days from now. It takes approx 21 days to build a habit and what better habit to build this month than a gratitude practice!
