I’m a child of the ’80s. Prince. Michael Jackson. Boy George. Last weekend, the First Weekend of the Covid-19 Quarantine, I announced to my husband that we were having a decades dance party. We’ve been together five years, married two. He knew what he was in for. We’d bought a stereo from my son’s former…

Have Yourself a Merry SLOW Christmas…Now
When my kids were littles, Christmas was my least favorite holiday – or at least the leading-up-to part. Looking back on it, I realize it wasn’t Christmas’ fault. As most mamas can relate, it was the stress of ALL THE THINGS – buying “just the right gift” and trying to hit the sales so you…
How RELATIONSHIPS are the next big marketing tactic.
Once upon a time, Facebook was a small business’ dream. Remember when the small biz owner who had previously shelled out thousands of dollars for a website suddenly thought screw that…I’ll get a FREE online presence on Facebook and cancel everything else. It worked for a bit. In the good ol’ days everyone who “liked”…
Finish strong? How ’bout in One PEACE?
Today my friend Jeanna shared how she’s not a huge fan of the word, “hustle.” Because let’s face it, hustle can not only be exhausting, but can suck the life out of other aspects of our lives. And often work that feels all-hustle can feel like no-joy. Who can live like that for long? Not…
Life, Liberty and Mermaids
Our first featured mermaid rocks a baby belly like no one’s business – but not for long. She’s due in just a couple of weeks with baby #3. Amber Klunzinger, the brainchild behind the co-working space for women, The Collective, in Edmond, OK, and the owner of Liberty Wellness, found her answer to work/life balance…
Unpack Before You Pack
The last three years I’ve been a nomad Mermaid. I’ve moved three times in addition to going back and forth between my current home and that of my husband’s while we wait for his house to sell and we can buy a house and live together full-time – with room for my kids. So you…
Looking for Someone to Blame
If you’re on the “2016 Sucks” bandwagon, I get it. Lots of stuff went down this year – deaths of beloved icons, a heated presidential election – but bad stuff happens every year – and it’s never, ever the year to blame. Was the year that innocent kindergarteners were gunned down in their classroom worse?…
Getting Empty to Find Your North Star
Can you see where you’re going on a really cloudy day? Can you find your favorite shirt if it’s in a messy closet? Do you know how you really feel if you’ve buried your feelings? Can you promote your personal brand and attract the right customers if you are so busy that you’ve lost your passion and…
Hard Habits and The Voice in the Trees
I have a long list of bad habits. When I was a kid suffering from anxiety, my habits included nail biting, hair chewing, plucking the hair from my eyebrows, and, worst of all, obsessive compulsive thoughts about my loved ones dying, which is how I would go to sleep at night. My “nightmares” were when…
Meet Teacher/Sister Mermaid Tina Ross
I tried to remember the first time I met Tina. I was told I was so mad upon her arrival that I held my breath until I passed out. If that’s the case, I guess I’ve been a drama queen since 14 months of age. Tina and I are nearly Irish twins yet she relishes…
