Life's a Disco Ball

Life, Laughter, Love...and Shiny Objects

Love Yourself

By: Heather

We take that old language arts lesson of compare and contrast and we apply it to our bodies, our relationships, our lives. And it knocks the breath right out of the courageous lives we’re living.

Let it go.

It’s not easy. I know. I fight this battle over and over and over again. I have lived this life for forty three years; I’m half way to forty four. And I still fight this ridiculous war. Exhaustion is setting in. Why waste this precious time waging a war? Even more sobering a fact, this war is a war that I declared on myself.

Undone CHRISTmas Part Two: Gingerbread Houses are Meant for Eating

By: Heather

The Undone CHRISTmas part two. That’s what we’ve got here. You see, gingerbread houses are meant for eating. I finally figured that out. I know…it took me a while. Anyhoo…as I mentioned in my last post, The Undone CHRISTmas, I’m learning the practice of letting go. Letting go of this whole perfection thing that adds so much […]

The Undone CHRISTmas

By: Heather

You know, every year I say to myself, ‘I’m getting my Christmas cards ordered before Thanksgiving so I can fill them out Thanksgiving weekend and get them in the mail on Dec. 1st!’ And every year, I feel like I fail because I don’t. Seriously. Every. Darn. Year. And you know, the only person who […]

Enjoy It Anyway

By: Heather

I see all these mamas…running around cleaning and baking, cooking and organizing, getting ready for Thanksgiving. And you know what? So many of them are stressed and stretched, twisted tight and wrung out. And so you know what I wanna say to all these mamas? It’s going to be okay. Enjoy it anyway. There’s going […]

Choosing Love

By: Heather

This idea of choosing love sounds easy. Fashionable, almost. There’s truth in it, but it is a hard practice. When I say, ‘choose love’, I am referring to loving yourself. Intentionally choosing to seek love over fear, love over self doubt, love over judgement. Removing the ‘not’ from, ‘I am not worthy’. Wow, is that […]

Love Yourself Mommas…Love. Your. Self.

By: Heather

Love yourself Mommas. Just as you love those Mommas around you. This morning, I was texting with one of my super awesomest friends on the planet. And we were discussing our kids, when I realized. In a matter of exactly 20 minutes of texting, we’d BOTH referred to ourselves as ‘bad mommas’. BOTH of us. […]

I. Am. My Messy Beautiful

By: Heather

  I am. Two simple words we say often, followed by an adjective. Or a noun. Or one of those other more complicated parts of our language. We’re always busy trying to fill in the blank. I am _________. Seriously. Am I alone here? I feel like I’m constantly trying to fill in the blank. Literally […]

The Shame Wagon

By: Heather

The Shame Wagon.  What in the world am I talking about?  Shame.  And a wagon. By now, if you’ve read any of my recent posts, you know I’m on this self reflection, digging deep, looking at myself in the mirror place in my life.  And I’m talking that special mirror, the one that shows you […]

Sabotaging Self Reflection

By: Heather

So here’s the thing, I love getting into my head and heart to evaluate things.  To examine how I operate and how I can improve.  I like taking occasional ‘gut checks’ to see if I’m living my life with intent…or just running the inevitable hamster wheel, over and over again.  I just dig this self […]
