Check in for monthly, tiny (and not so tiny) adventures and (hopefully) a side of self-discovery.

Try out a new yoga studio. Experience reiki. Get your first tattoo! Try a new, local restaurant. Or, hell, let’s take a trip to Mexico… or Ireland…or Italy… Costa Rica anyone?

  • Goat Yoga!

    Goat Yoga!

    Last month I was thinking about how I wanted to celebrate my 45th birthday with my husband and boys. It’s hard to get us all together at once. We have a lot of commitments between the five of us…work, school, marching band, club soccer…The list goes on. I tried to think of something fun and…

    A Mosh Pit for Mom

    I found myself on an unexpected tiny adventure a couple weeks ago. My husband and I bought tickets to see the band Flogging Molly. I LOVE this band. They send happy little gold sparks thru my Irish genes. They are a Celtic punk band, and if I could describe them in one word, I would…

  • The Lion’s Gate Adventure

    I completed my first solo, tiny adventure! Go me! I attended the Lion’s Gate group meditation at a local yoga studio last evening. So glad (and proud) I did! I have meditated on my own. Sometimes when I get overwhelmed, I sit and close my eyes. I try to take note of each body part…

    Lion’s Gate

    The Plan: When my dear friend has a new idea she is nervous but excited to share with someone, I always say, “plant the seed!” I’m speaking of those tiny hints you give to introduce an idea to someone. It is like gifting a new beach toy to your travel buddy when you are craving…
