One of the cards in my card deck is a daily call for “Morning Pages.” “Morning Pages are three pages of longhand, stream of consciousness writing, done first thing in the morning.” Julia Cameron In the Just Get Started card deck you’ll find a similar card under “Silence Affirmation Visualize Exercise Read Scribe,” or SAVERS - a term coined by Hal Elrod, author of[...]
I love doing these videos. Absolutely love them. The best part is picking out a song. Paul Cauthen was the voice in the background for most of the year. This song, Prayed for Rain, is beautiful and the lyrics are meaningful to us. You should know he also has a song called "Country as F..." Shane's has always had an eclectic taste in music - what can you do?! I'm grateful for the e[...]

In this video I will show you how to organize your life in 2024 using an index card system, inspired by Sidetracked Home Executives and the 12 Week Year.

I love using vision boards around my home! For years I had a vision board that I displayed in my kitchen. However, you had to be in the kitchen to view it. Even then, it wasn't in an area of the kitchen where I would stand in front of it each day. Now that we're on the boat I've gotten creative when it comes to incorporating visual motivation into my surroundings. I use my p[...]

Want to live a more adventurous life? It’s tough to imagine oneself living adventurously with jobs, rising costs of groceries, a mortgage, kids in activities, and so on. What if, despite all of the obstacles, adventure could still be found? Micro adventure- something Shane has been doing ever since I met him. It was taking me in his toyota offroading behind suburban communities[...]
https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq1s21OJFnZ/ In the midst of April showers, my goal is to continue to walk outside even if it’s in the rain. I could walk indoors - even on our sailboat - with my stepper, using ankle weights while I walk in place, or doing a steps heavy Youtube video like one from Gina B. Staying warm and dry is always preferable to me, but self-directed struggle[...]
Cruising the San Juan Islands last summer was incredible! We had so much fun that I took very little video of our time out on the boat. I blogged, updated instagram, and got the rare clip of our surroundings here and there. This is a vlog of a day we had off the boat here on San Juan Island. We went to 4th of July Beach, South Beach, Cattlepass Point Lighthouse, and American Camp on t[...]
