I've been saying this to myself for months


Keep going.

You read that right.

I know you’re on the brink of something.

Whether it’s just for you, your loved ones, or the world…

I know it’s awesome.

Because you are.

If you’re thinking: “Lady, you crazy – you don’t even know me!”

I know this – humans as a species are awesome.

We're capable of so much more goodness than we think.

And this planet could really use any smidge of positivity you feel like sharing.

(Understatement.)

So if you think for a second that it’s not worth your
time
effort
energy
heart
soul
a tidbit of your sanity (please preserve some)...

It is.

I believe in you.

Because the only guaranteed way it won't happen? If you stop entirely.

That doesn't mean you have to push to bleary-eyed exhaustion.

Seriously, for the love of sleepy kittens, lay your buns down and take a nap when you need it.

(Because... life.)

But when you're ready...

Just. Keep. Going.

I promise I will too.

80s brick phone calling

She might as well have thrown the mic at me. The obvious aha was so big in my head: Rest and leisure are not the same. “Wait, what?” Last weekend at a coaching symposium the speaker was dropping serious knowledge on our nervous systems. And what rest actually looks like. I’m a big fan of movement and nature. I want to be outside DOING the thing and getting after it. (Mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding, paddleboarding…) Her talk helped me realize that while those are excellent for my health...

Hi friends, I'm back! And I'm waving hello to those of you who joined during my hiatus and are getting your first Sketching Adventures email! Hummingbird. That was my brain’s default speed this summer. Fluttering faster than I could think.Zipping around on a sugar high. Blurring my reality. Between the constant evolution of AI, an ever-changing world, and a life that’s packed full of goodness, it sometimes feels hard to keep up. Not to mention all the things we can blindly click on these...

There’s no one way. The amount of times I’ve said that — that we’ve all said that — infinite, right? For me, it often comes up around health, wellness, business or mindset. There’s no one way… to eat healthy (100% paleo is not for me) to get fit (burpees on the daily are a big no thank you) to do business (social media is my frenemy, referrals are my bestie) to be creative (hello, silly sketches) to live (relationships + nature + adventure + time = me) to be ready (moving on from perfection,...
