It's My Birthday
And I'm Happy to be Alive and Healthy
After the last year I’ve had, I couldn’t feel more grateful to welcome another year in good health.
Life is so short, precious, and beautiful. I do not ever take it for granted.
I just want to say thank you for being part of this journey.
Many of you have been here for years and have read my posts from the beginning. I’m so grateful.
And if you’re new here, welcome.
I do have a special birthday request.
This might be tacky but they say you need to ask for what you want, so here it is: I’d love to be a Substack bestseller. When you reach this status on Substack more people find your work, and that makes all the effort you put in pay off. But it’s not something that happens without support. So thanks to everyone who’s supported me and my writing, I seriously can’t do it without you.
To reach the Substack bestseller list I need 100 paid subscribers which is a lot more than I have.
If my writing has inspired you or given you value, please consider upgrading to the $8 per month paid subscription today. You’ll get access to my memoir, all coaching posts, and every post I publish. It’s about the price of a coffee, but it directly supports my small business and helps new readers find my work, which means a lot.
If you become a founding member, I’m also gifting a free 45 minute coaching session for anyone who becomes a founding member.
Writing is my passion, but it’s also my business and your support means I can keep doing this thing.
Thank you for supporting my work, it really does make all the difference.

The Love That Changed Me
Portland | August 2025
(Eight days before Josiah’s Celebration of Life)
I slide into a small two-top table in the back corner of our favorite little Italian restaurant and order a Negroni. I’m wearing the dress he loves most. My stomach is curled into knots, my hands suddenly shaky, my skin clammy from the heavy summer air that hangs in this non-air-conditioned dining room. His sudden decision to give up on us has shattered me entirely.
The Hardest Week of My Life
I always knew June 2025 was going to be a crazy month—one filled with some of life’s biggest milestones for my little family. It’s a month that I’ve been planning for on my Futureboard, and written about in my Life Plan Story, for literally the past 10 years.
