Be Intentional With Your Life — Every Day Matters

 


Let’s take a moment and ask something simple, yet powerful:

Are you being intentional with your life?

Not just with the big goals or milestones — but with the little things that quietly shape who you are and where you're headed.

  • Are you intentional with your habits?
  • With your energy?
  • With your words?
  • With the people you surround yourself with?
  • With how you show up each day — even on the hard days?

We often move through life on autopilot — doing, reacting, coping — but real transformation comes when we pause and choose. When we slow down enough to ask, "Is this aligned with what I really want?"

Intentional living doesn’t require a perfect plan.
It starts with small, daily choices:

  • Saying yes to what serves your goals and no to what drains you.
  • Creating habits that bring peace, not chaos.
  • Taking steps, even tiny ones, toward the life you envision.
  • Being fully present in the journey — not just chasing the destination.

Because here's the truth:
If you don’t choose how you live, the world will choose for you.

This week, I encourage you to reflect:
What does it look like to live with intention — in your health, your relationships, your career, your joy?

You don’t have to overhaul everything overnight. Just pick one area… and begin.

You’re worth it.
And your life deserves your full attention.

When Protecting Yourself Holds You Back

Image
  As I sit here, thinking about what would have been my 7 year wedding anniversary in just a few weeks, I’m struck by the reality of being a 43-year-old single woman, divorced not once but twice. That’s the first time I’ve admitted it out loud. It’s a place I never imagined I’d be—never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d face one divorce, let alone two. With this comes a whirlwind of emotions: self-doubt, shame, and the aching belief that I’m not good enough, not wanted, or somehow easy to let go of —feelings I know are tied to deeper-rooted issues I’ll be working to unpack thought this year’s journey of introspection. In my second marriage, I held on to the hope that we’d weather every storm together. I envisioned us at 80 years old, looking back and saying, “Fuck, we went through so much, but we made it—we’re still here, together.” Yet, despite that hope, I spent much of our marriage guarding my heart, keeping pieces of myself hidden to avoid being hurt. I told myself I had t...

Shifting Mindsets, Changing Lives: Why I’m Running 13.1 Miles

Image
  In just a few weeks, I will be running 13.1 miles—not just for myself, but for the children and families who are in the fight of their lives (and the ones who lost their battle). I’m running to raise awareness and funds to support families navigating childhood cancer treatment and clinical trials, and I need your help. On my wrist, I will wear a bracelet that says “I GET TO” —a simple yet powerful reminder. I don’t have to run; I GET TO. I get to push my limits, challenge myself, and use this opportunity to make a difference. We often go through life thinking, I have to —I have to go to work, I have to work out, I have to do this or that. But what if we shifted our mindset? What if we saw these moments not as obligations but as opportunities? I get to wake up and train for this race. I get to move my body, breathe fresh air, and feel strong. I get to use my health, my energy, and my privilege to make an impact for those who don’t have that choice. Too many children don’...

Redefining Enough: Letting Go of the Invisible Measuring Stick

Image
  For as long as I can remember, I’ve carried this underlying feeling of not being enough. And it’s hard to explain because it’s not rooted in comparison—I don’t look at others and wish I were more like them. It’s deeper than that. It’s an internal feeling of not enough as a mom, friend, sister, daughter, or partner. A quiet but persistent voice that whispers, you should be doing more, being more. In many ways, this feeling has shaped who I am today. It’s made me a goal-setter, a problem-solver, and someone who thrives on productivity and control. And while those traits have helped me achieve a lot, they’ve also stolen moments of joy—because no matter what I accomplish, that nagging voice still lingers, telling me it’s not enough. Lately, I’ve been sitting with this feeling instead of pushing past it. I’ve made 2025 my year of introspection, and the same two questions keep surfacing: What is enough? And enough for who? I believe that when a thought keeps resurfacing, it’s ...
