Twenty-one years is a long time to be on your own journey. Long enough to raise two sons, build a life wholly your own, and learn who you actually are. When I said yes to marriage again, I brought everything I'd learned—and I've never been more ready for anything in my life.

For most of my life, I was terrified. Not of failing—of wanting. I was the good girl who colored inside every line, making decisions from fear instead of vision. I needed certainty, safety, guarantees. And I was miserable.

When I finally listened to my inner wisdom, everything changed. Divorce wasn't the end of my story—it was the beginning of learning what it means to take big swings.

Here's what I've discovered: big swings get big results. Yes, you might miss sometimes. But you'll hit home runs far more often than if you never step up to the plate. Small swings? That's chipping away at your life slowly, "responsibly"—while your deepest desires gather dust.

There's a cost to staying safe. To being "responsible" in ways that keep you small. To choosing comfort over courage. In this piece, I share why we don't take big swings, what it costs us when we don't, and 5 practical strategies for building your big swing practice.

This Thanksgiving, I'm tired. And grateful. And overwhelmed. And blessed. Here's why modern gratitude needs to hold all of it—the messy, complicated truth of being fully alive.

A dear friend once told me that everything worth knowing can be learned from the aged and the dying. Last week, as we celebrated my mother's 85th and father's 90th birthdays, I understood the depth of that wisdom in ways I never had before. What they've taught me isn't just about aging gracefully—it's about living courageously, loving fully, and staying curious no matter what the calendar says.

A summer of reconnection and memories ended with an unexpected physical reminder to slow down and listen. Sometimes our bodies know what our minds haven't caught up to yet—and a simple stye became the gateway to profound insights about perception, transition, and the courage to see clearly in times of change.

Life has a way of orchestrating moments that stop us in our tracks—not through crisis or celebration, but through the quiet recognition of how far we've traveled and who traveled with us along the way. From childhood friends to life-changing losses, every person and experience in our story contributes something essential to our becoming. This isn't about toxic positivity—it's about recognizing that we are collectively crafted by every soul who has shared space in our journey, and that our becoming is still unfolding.

I've been dancing around truth lately—not intentionally, but in that way we do when life gets so full that we forget to check in with ourselves. Then a simple journaling prompt that left me with nothing to say: "How are you really?" Four words that felt like a dare. Because how am I, really? On any given Tuesday, I am everything and nothing, holding it all together and falling apart, confident and questioning, clear and confused.

Sometimes the most profound discoveries happen when we least expect them. I found mine five pages into a book that had been waiting patiently on my nightstand—an invitation to begin a practice I'd never been able to master, but that would become the anchor for everything that followed.
