For years, I've been searching for that "ONE THING". You know, the one thing you are told over and over that you are supposed to find. That one passion, that one tagline, that one look.
I’ve become exhausted by the hunt.
I'm coming to accept that consistency is highly overrated.

Oven fires happen. Certain things make oven fires more likely to happen … like, say… maybe having forgotten to clean the oven for many months.
Martha Stewart I certainly am not, but this house-chore-left-undone was a fun little wake-up call. It was a brilliant reminder that things like crap hidden inside the bottom of an oven can be only be forgotten about for so long … until the consequences of doing so literally blow up in your face.
In honor of my 41st birthday coming up this week, I've compiled a list of 41 reflections on a variety of topics related to BeingBreath.
You might be inspired, you might learn something about me or see a bit of yourself, you might laugh, you might get distracted halfway through, or you might walk away with a new perspective that will change your day in a really good way.
Let's find out.
Read MoreYesterday, as my husband was leaving for work, I said, “Have a good day at work”. In return, he replied, “Have a good day at …. life”.
My days are typically filled with a variety of activities that occur in a variety of places. Laundry, run to Target, computer work, picking up one kid or the other… His wish was a good one to cover any scenario. And it also got me thinking.
How does one have a good day at life? What does my “good day” look like? What about yours?
Read MoreHave you ever found yourself in such a scenario - where you are walking or driving a very familiar path, then suddenly "wake up" out of your thoughts and realize you have no idea what has been happening? (Or perhaps you've had this same sleep-walking experience while zoning out in the middle of a meeting or a conversation....or even in moving from one room to the next, trying to remember why you came in that room in the first place.)
That this happens isn't good nor bad in and of itself. The problem is that these common occurrences (we've ALL been there, done that) are indicative of a far deeper and more troublesome habit: the habit of sleepwalking through our days and our lives.
Read MoreI tried to write this message on Facebook.
Facebook automatically deleted the post because it (the photo, I'm sure) went against their community standards.
After re-reviewing the community standards, I strongly disagree and have notified their (very unsatisfactory) customer service. We'll see if it gets re-posted.
Until then, I celebrate that I have my OWN SPACE where photos of, and conversations about, the human body and its expressions are not seen as shameful and something to be removed.
Here's what I shared:
