Love, Loss & Remembering

 ​For any of us who have experienced loss, it can be so hard to navigate the pain.

Recently, several friends have lost close family members, but while they're suffering, remembering all the sweet and funny and loving moments has momentarily eased their heartache.
 

Here's to never forgetting our special memories.

Confessions of a "former" Control Freak

 As a former (now just once in a while) control freak I was always focused
on making sure everything went well. 

Work, People, Whatever. 

Have you ever thought this way?
If I was organized enough, read enough peoples minds,
worked harder, worked longer, anticipated every possibility,
then I was sure I could change things or people and make things turn out right. 
 

It was exhausting.  

And ultimately unsuccessful.

You can't change circumstances. You can't change people. You can't change behavior.

We can only change ourselves.


So focus on you, on how you will feel, on how you will react, on what you'll decide.
And let go of what you can't control.

Freedom Awaits!

Love, Steph
