      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - Decluttering vs Curating - I was feeling like I needed to do some decluttering the other day. I walked around the house, poked through closets and cabinets, even looked under the bed. I asked ChatGPT for ideas of things or places to declutter. Then I had a realization: after about two years of consistent decluttering, I don't have anything left to declutter.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everything remaining is either going to be sold, stored, or taken with me when I move. That's when it hit me - I'm no longer in my declutter era.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - Everyday Joy - A few days ago, I felt discouraged. Tired. Cranky. Stuck.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The kind of day where your head hurts and your spirit feels like it’s trying to shrink itself just to get through the next few hours. You’re functioning. You’re checking boxes. But emotionally? You’re running on fumes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - Why Pen and Paper Could Be the Only Tools You Need - You’ve probably seen the standard self-care advice: Take a bath. Light a candle. Unplug. And while those things can be helpful, real self-care—the kind that creates lasting change—isn’t about checking out. It’s about checking in.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - Getting Clearer with Age - I used to think clarity was about knowing exactly what to do…</image:title>
      <image:caption>For most of my life, I thought clarity meant certainty. That if I could just think long enough, analyze hard enough, or weigh every possible outcome, I’d land on the perfect decision—the one with no regrets, no second-guessing, no what-ifs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - Book Review: The Courage to Be Disliked - Sometimes, the books that stick with us aren’t the ones we love.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I picked up The Courage to Be Disliked expecting deep insights and perspective-shifting wisdom. Instead, I found myself struggling to get through it. The dialogue was frustrating, the tone felt rigid, and it had a way of presenting ideas as if they were undeniable truths rather than concepts open for discussion.</image:caption>

I took in my nieces and eventually adopted them, going from being a mother to one daughter to raising three.

      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - What is the Best Way to Meditate? - Deciding to start a meditation practice can seem like a really daunting task. There are so many different ways to do it. Meditate in the morning. No! At night. No! You must do both! Light a candle.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Meditate outside connected to the earth. Lay down. Sit up! Close your eyes, no watch an open flame. Listen to meditation music, No! There must be SILENCE (for all the Jeff Dunham fans out there )</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hey Life Happens Blog - How to Choose Your Personal Motto for the New Year - As we step into a new year, there’s an undeniable sense of opportunity and possibility. Many of us feel the pull to set goals or resolutions, but for some, the idea of resolutions feels rigid or overwhelming. That’s why I’ve embraced a different approach: choosing a guiding phrase or motto to focus on throughout the year.</image:title>

It started subtly, like a whisper from the universe, and then it hit me: I’ve bought not one, not two, but FOUR new lipsticks. All in shades of burgundy-red, no less. I’ve started wearing eyeliner again. I’ve invested in statement earrings and clothes that gasp make me stand out. Who am I, and what’s happening?</image:caption>
