🤔 You're unique and perfect just the way you are....

#SimonSays... Hey there... Coming at you from 35,000 feet -- Yes, we've been jet-set the last few weeks, which has been awesome, but my inner homebody is screaming out! Which reminds me, I recently wrote a blog that resonated with MANY of you. I couldn't believe all the calls, texts and emails I received from friends saying, 'Wow, that's me too? (thanks for those, btw!) If you haven't had the chance, give it a read: IT TOOK ME 40 YEARS & SEVERE BURNOUT TO REALIZE I WAS AN INTROVERTED...

#SimonSays... Hey there... Okay, waaaait, wait, wait, can time slow down for a sec? ✋ How can it be Fall already? With the change of seasons, one thing I've been thinking about lately is how we often think that something "far off" will make us happy.

#SimonSays... ☕️ I was sipping my coffee this morning, thinking about everything I had to do today, when this quote popped into my mind: "Why put off something for tomorrow that you can straight up cancel?” Like many of you, I’ve been notorious for adding WAY too much to my plate …. and admittedly, the recovering people pleaser in me still struggles with saying no. 😬 But I’ve spent the last three years learning to PAUSE, enjoying a lighter load (chronic illness can make you do that!), and...

#SimonSays... With Texas Big Star Half Marathon & 5k in the rear view mirror, Paul and I got away to Colorado Bend State Park last weekend (Hill Country area for you Texans). We looked forward to hiking, camping and spending quality time together to unwind.... which we did. But what we didn't expect was being forced to be off the grid. That's right. No cell service, wifi or hotspots - period. I'm not gonna lie, the first hours were tough. We both kept habitually reaching for our phones like...
