The Power of an Impressive GPA
Running alone is never my first choice. I love to meet up with friends and spend time running together. But there are those days when I have to run alone, and while I never look forward to it, I typically have peacefully profound experiences. Today was one of those...
Finding Silver Linings
When life gets most challenging, you can respond a few different ways. You can choose a state of fear, try to cling to control and make sure you are safe. You can wait for someone or something external to come and protect you: government assistance, growth in the...
The Need to be Productive
My life moves pretty fast. It has for a long time, and I’ve come to prefer it that way. As an 18 year old girl, I was working full time during the day, taking college classes at night, and teaching aerobics in whatever pockets of time I had left. It was a crazy time,...
5 Months Down, 7 To Go
Every December, I am very intentional about vision casting for the new year. I set clear goals to manifest my dreams, and I create a vision board so I can physically see what I’m working towards each day. This is a sacred practice for me, one that I truly look forward...
Let It Go
Life has been looking pretty different these last few weeks hasn’t it? Our lives can be so fast paced and we came to a shocking and grinding halt a little over a month ago. For many, it’s strange to be home so much, to actually be spending time with family, to not be...
The Magic of Decluttering
Twenty years in one house. Have you ever lived in the same house for twenty years? There’s so many beautiful aspects to the experience. The Christmas morning routines that could only grow from years of repetition. The evolution of bedrooms as kids turn to preteens and...
Back to Mindset Basics
When you start your personal growth journey, there almost seems to be a natural progression of information you become aware of and exposed to. Call it happenchance or divine order, but I’ve observed a certain pattern to the books/podcasts/documentaries you start with...
Our New Normal
Today is our 16th day of quarantine in the Walter household, with only 25 more days to go. It’s a challenge mentally, physically, and emotionally to be isolated at home, unable to do so many of our favorite things. But ultimately, the whole reason we’re here is to...
The Higher Good
It is one of my foundational beliefs that everything happens for a reason, and that reason is always working for our highest good. It is certainly challenging to see the good in a virus that has been destructive for so many people. My heart aches for those who have...
What Drives You?
If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard me train, or at the very least mention, the importance of having a why. The things worth having in life aren’t always easy to get, and having a reason for putting yourself through the necessary...
Stinky Thinking
Most 11 year olds are focused on having fun with friends and exploring different hobbies, their biggest concern being an introduction to algebra. When I was 11, I became responsible for buying my own clothes and having my own spending money. So rather than spending...
Listening to Your Body
Let me paint a picture for you. It’s an average morning. A minor tornado swept through the kitchen as your kids hustled out the door for school, but you are now settling into the day with a big cup of coffee. You run through today’s to-do list in your head while...
