You know I don’t love the ‘B’ word…shhhh…don’t say it. You know ahem…budget.😬😬 But I have been living on a cash flow plan, a cooler way to say ‘budget’ without saying it. Basically, since 2011, when we went totally BROKE, we have created a plan for our money and stuck to it every month since…

You know me by know, I live on a budget. It’s a commitment we made nearly 10 years ago when we decided to dig ourselves out of debt and live radically differently. We still have fun, I still shop, we still vacation but all with intention now. I must say over the years, I have…

Summer is here! Well, the unofficial start to summer that is but if you live in the desert like me, anything over 100 degrees warrants the start of summer. May and June in the valley of the sun aren’t the worst but as soon as late June rolls around and we push into July and…

In Some People’s Eyes You Will Never Be Enough and That is Okay and Here’s Why

I. LOVE. A. ROUTINE. In fact I don’t think I could have survived nearly 15 years in morning TV without a routine. I definitely thrive with some order but have, over the last few years, relaxed a bit so I could really FEEL life and have some spontaneity and presence too. Learning to live at…
