The First Step Toward Change

December 28, 2020 / Elaina / 2 Comments

My apartment is a disaster because I'm halfway through taking down the Christmas decorations. I have a second bedroom to organize & clean out {went from a 4 bedroom house to a small 2 bedroom apartment}. I have a bunch of food to meal prep for my week and I need to write. I've been … Continue reading The First Step Toward Change

It’s Going to be Okay

March 23, 2020 / Elaina / Leave a comment

I don't know about you - but I don't feel super motivated today. Or since things started to get rougher last week. This COVID-19 situation is discouraging, right? It's having an impact on all of us - though I know some are feeling it more than others. I started telework today. But being that it's … Continue reading It’s Going to be Okay

Butterfly – Monday Motivation

March 9, 2020 / Elaina / Leave a comment

I’ve been learning the art of giving myself some grace. The process of becoming a butterfly isn’t exactly pretty. They start as this ugly, squirmy thing and then they’re wrapped up in an even uglier cocoon for anywhere from 5 days to 21 days! I’m not where I want to be - but I will … Continue reading Butterfly – Monday Motivation

Monday Motivation

Happy Monday! This is a slightly different Monday Motivation post. I saw this art work & had to track down the artist. She's a new favorite. You can find her, here or here or, here! It feels good to let these things go. In the new week, let them slide right off of your back. … Continue reading Monday Motivation

Monday Motivation ~ Doing What You Love

February 17, 2020February 17, 2020 / Elaina / Leave a comment

I love this quote. I wonder what my next step will be sometimes. Even at nearly 44, I am still trying to figure out what my calling looks like. It's quotes like this that simplify & strip it down for me. "Let the beauty of what you love, be what you do." ~ Rumi For … Continue reading Monday Motivation ~ Doing What You Love

Dreamers & Risk Takers

January 13, 2019January 12, 2020 / Elaina / 2 Comments

I took this photo about 10 years ago, at Disneyland - one of my favorite places on earth. That's probably the last time I was there. I can't wait to take another trip (hopefully with my son) soon. When I was growing up, Disneyland was such an inspiration to the creative dreamer in me. My … Continue reading Dreamers & Risk Takers

New Year. Not New You?

December 31, 2018 / Elaina / 4 Comments

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on … Continue reading New Year. Not New You?

Author * Dream Chaser

November 12, 2018 / Elaina / 1 Comment

That's me. I'm an author. I'm a dream chaser. There are some nay-sayers out there that wonder about all this "dream" talk. I get it. I really do. But let's look at this another way. What if your dream was better defined as that thing that makes you, you? What if your dreams are perfect … Continue reading Author * Dream Chaser

You can't make everyone happy so don't even bother trying . . .

Monday Motivation 

October 9, 2017October 8, 2017 / Elaina / Leave a comment

I love this reminder that you can start where you are. So often we feel like we have to have it all together before we accomplish that goal or fulfill that dream. But we will get nowhere if we don’t start. Now. Not later when we have it all together or have all the answers. … Continue reading Monday Motivation
