I used to think rest was a waste of time.
I’m still learning not to.

I’ve spent most of my life proving I could do hard things.
Keep going. Be useful. Show up. Hustle harder.

But lately, my soul has been asking for something else.
Stillness.
Breath.
A softer pace.

Not as a reward. Not as a break.
But as a way of being.

I don’t want my legacy to be pushing myself to exhaustion without self-love.
I want it to be peace.
Even if I’m still learning how to let that be enough. ✨

Today’s vibe: ease and laughter.

What’s your easy win this weekend?

Reading in the sun?

Takeout dinner?

Zero plans and a cozy blanket?

I like to do things — I almost always do.
But Saturdays? I like to do them my way.
A slower pace. A deeper breath.
Still moving, still me… just a little more “lazy genius.”

An audiobook while I fold the laundry.
Fresh sheets on the bed.
A warm drink in my hand.

The to-do list might still be there —
but so is the peace.

Drop your lazy genius move below 👇💛

For a long time, I didn’t know how to use my voice.
I wasn’t even sure I had one.

I’d second-guess my words.
I’d wait for permission.
I’d whisper when I wanted to speak up…
or go quiet when I should’ve used my voice.

But healing doesn’t always sound big or bold.
Sometimes it starts with scribbles in a journal.
Or saying the hard thing — even if it trembles coming out.

I’m still learning, but this I know:
Every time I write what’s true,
I get a little more of my voice back.

And that matters.
Even if no one hears it but me. 🤍

A little Red, White, & You moment 💅🎆
I pulled together a few of my favorite patriotic dashes — and couldn’t resist mixing it up with some sparkle + chrome flair 🔥
🎇 Fredie, Avalon, Sarah, and Susannah… who says you have to pick just one?

Want to see more looks like this? Message me — I’ve got ideas 💌
You can rock a mani like this too. Confidence = activated 💅✨

There was a time when healing felt like a job I couldn’t quit.
I was obsessed with remembering — desperate to unlock the past, even the painful parts. I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t remember what others seemed to recall so easily. It haunted me.

I’ve tried everything. And for a long time, it was heavy. Hard. Exhausting.

But lately?
It’s felt quieter. Gentler. Like I’m learning to live in the lull — to accept what I know, and trust what’s still unfolding.

It’s starting to feel like breathing.
Like noticing.
Like resting.
Like returning to myself.

Maybe ease is part of the healing, too. 🌿

Here’s what I’ve learned the hard way:

✨ You don’t have to run it like anyone else
✨ You don’t have to be perfect
✨ You just have to make it work for your life

We run a full-time remodeling business with all 6 of our kids.
It’s loud, chaotic, and deeply rewarding.

I also run a beauty business on the side — just for me.
A creative outlet. A way to stay connected.
A reminder that I get to show up as more than just the behind-the-scenes glue.




If you’re building something right now —
you get to decide what success feels like.
Let it be simple. Let it be yours. Let it be enough. 💻💕

I used to think God expected me to do more.
That scripture — “after all you can do” — stuck in my head.
So as long as I was still breathing, I figured there was more I could do.

I didn’t know how to let it be easy.
I didn’t know how to trust.
I carried too much alone — not out of faith, but out of fear.

But slowly, I’m learning…
He knows me. He loves me. And He wants to help.
What can I do?
Trust Him.
Ask for His guidance.
Be willing to follow His whisper.

✨ Less pressure. More presence.
✨ Less fixing. More faith.
Let it be easy. Let it be inspired. 💖

Mornings have definitely changed.

I used to be the one up at 5am to work out…
or even 4am when I was deep in writing mode.
Back then, I launched into the day full speed ahead.

Now? I linger a little longer.
The pace is slower.
And before I know it — the day’s already flying by.

Canceling plans isn’t even an option.
I’m a business owner. I serve in the temple on Tuesday nights.
These are commitments — not just appointments.

So on days like this, I lean into my 3-minute fix:
💄 Quick makeup with bright gloss
💍 Classic clothes with bold earrings
💅 Pretty nails

It’s not about looking perfect.
It’s about feeling pulled-together enough to show up.

Style doesn’t have to be hard.
Let it be easy. Let it be you. 💖

I grew up in a home where rest felt… risky.
If you weren’t doing something “productive,” you were doing something wrong.
And if you were sitting still, someone would find a job for you.

So I stayed busy.
Even now, I catch myself filling every moment — dishes, laundry, work, movement.
Reading? Only if it’s an audiobook while I multitask.
Stillness? That feels like failure.

But I’m starting to see it differently.
What if ease isn’t laziness?
What if it’s wisdom? Alignment? Trust?

This week, I’m giving myself permission to be — for just five minutes a day.
No multitasking. No guilt.
Just breath, and being.

Let it be light. Let it be led. Let it be enough. ✨

26 years ago today, Shane and I said yes to forever.

It’s been a crazy ride —
Full of hope, heartbreak, courtrooms, co-parenting, starting over, closing one business, building another…

We’ve raised kids.
Worked side-by-side.
Shared dreams. Survived storms.
Started new chapters. Rebuilt from the hard stuff.

We had no idea what life would bring —
but we kept choosing each other.

As Shania says: “You’re still the one.”
And he is.
He’s held me up and held me together.
Without him, none of this would even matter.

Legacy isn’t just what we leave behind...
It’s what we build together, one choice at a time. 💍💖

To every woman who’s walked through storms
and still shows up for love —
I see you.

💫 Happy Anniversary to us.
🧡 Happy Father’s Day to the man who has never stopped showing up.

Let’s do a fun roll call! 💖
Drop your age + your favorite way to spend a Saturday.

You know… growing up, it was always a no-no to ask a lady how old she was (or heaven forbid — her weight 😅).

And while I still vote no thanks on the weight thing...
Age? That’s a different story.

I say: You’re only as old as you feel.
And my soul? It still hasn’t gotten the memo that I’m “old.”

When I was a kid, someone my age seemed ancient.
But times have changed — and so have we.
I’m 61, and I’m proud of it. 🙌

My perfect Saturday includes:
🎧 listening to a good book
🧼 organizing something (weirdly satisfying)
✍️ writing a little
💪 moving my body
💅 and doing my nails, of course.

Your turn! 👇
How old are you — and what’s your Saturday vibe?
