Can We Trust Even When Life Feels Scary?

I used to think that if I planned well enough, I could keep my life safe and steady. I thought being in control was the same as being happy. Life doesn’t always follow our plans. Lately, my world has felt like a storm. Between the deaths of five people, my son’s transition after prison, and my sister’s diagnosis with breast cancer, the ground has felt very shaky. I’ve learned that when the world is chaotic, I can’t control what happens outside. Instead, I am continuing on my journey as the “architect” of my own heart.

When things feel overwhelming, we often find ourselves in a knot of Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (T.E.A.). Our thoughts try to anticipate the “what-ifs,” emotions feel heavy, and actions become frantic as we try to fix things we cannot control. Being an architect isn’t about stopping the storm. It’s about building a strong, safe house inside ourselves so we can stay standing while the wind blows. 

I can’t change a medical diagnosis or a legal situation; however, I can choose how I show up for myself and the people I love.

Trusting isn’t about knowing exactly how things will turn out. It’s about knowing that I have the strength to handle whatever happens next. It’s about being kind to myself, setting boundaries that protect my heart, and finding peace in the middle of the mess.

It is why I wrote my 4-week course.  If you are going through a hard season and feel like you’re losing your footing, I want to help. My T.E.A. Course is a place to learn to untangle our thoughts, emotions, and actions to find your calm again. I’d love for you to join the healing journey.

Celebrate the season of giving and Joy…with gifts they will love and use

The holiday season is here! After another year filled with uncertainty, it’s time to return to our tradition of celebrating this season of giving and joy. Not only do I have some great gift ideas, I also have tools to help you begin 2026 with a positive start.

Last month I shared some gift ideas I hope you found helpful. This month’s suggestions are gifts that people really use and are fun to give. Turn tighter budgets to your advantage with daily items like facial cleansers, firming creams, and toothpaste.  

I’ll start with Beyond Glow Facial Cleanser. With hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it cleanses and hydrates, leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth. (Feel free to check shelf cleansers at stores and see what ingredients they contain.) It’s suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Something we all want is the firmest skin possible. Anew Ultimate Supreme Radiant Firming Cream has soo many benefits – with a formula that blends seamlessly and is perfect for all skin types. Want to make it more of a gift? For less than $20 more, you can give a set that includes Anew Fusion Gel Cream and Face Shop Rice Water Cleansing Oil.

Finally, Himalaya Pink Salt Toothpaste. This fluoride-free toothpaste helps to remineralize and strengthen enamel. It’s such a great way to give yourself, friends, and family a quality gift without breaking your budget. The refreshing spearmint flavor leaves no salty aftertaste, simply a clean, crisp confidence that’s bound to bring more smiles!

And here’s one last idea for a gift. My T.E.A. course will start on January 19th.  Registration will be up soon.  Feel free to contact me with any questions.
