Six Weeks of Joy is a live, online experience designed to help you notice joy more often and invite more of it into your everyday life. Over six weekly sessions (starting Saturday, January 24), we’ll explore joy through different themes, including Pure Joy, Joy and Kindness, Joy and Play, Joy and Courage, Joy and Creativity and Joy and You . Each session has a different co-host and blends guided reflection, meaningful conversation with simple practices you can use right away

As adults, we do not always make time to play. Somewhere along the way, we start to treat play as something for kids. We watch children build worlds with toys, invent characters and disappear into their imaginations. It looks effortless.   Play is not just for childhood. It is part of being human. When we make space for play, we give ourselves time to have fun, deliberately. It is a chance to feel light, curious, present and connected. This matters, especially at times when l

Connection was my word of the year last year. I carried it with me into meetings, conversations, workshops and quiet moments at home. Because of that intentional focus, I said yes to more invitations and reached out to people a little more often. Some of those connections were in person, some were virtual, all added to my understanding and interaction with connection. When I look back, the strongest thread that runs through that year of connection is friendship. Choosing conn

In 2023, a client emailed to ask if I could create a workshop on professional joy using Appreciative Inquiry. My answer was an immediate yes. I designed the one-day Professional Joy workshop, delivered it for their organization, and then, since it was their idea, asked if I could offer it more widely through my company. They agreed without hesitation and it’s now one of the core workshops you’ll see on my website . When I was planning the women’s retreat in October, I knew m

The 2026 Let’s Spend The Year Together calendar is now available. This 14-month calendar runs from December 2025 through January 2027 and pairs my abstract photography with intentional monthly themes. Each image invites you to pause, look closer, and create space for meaning in the middle of a busy life. With your calendar, you’re also invited into a year of connection: A monthly theme to guide your reflections; A companion blog post that goes deeper; An open invitation to

I’ve been sitting with the word resilience, not just as a personal trait but as a way countries move through storms. A simple definition I love:  resilience is the capacity to absorb stress or disruption, adapt to changing conditions and recover to a steady or stronger state without losing your core purpose.   In practice, it’s three moves: bend, bounce back and build forward. If you want to see resilience in action, look at Bermuda before, during and after a hurricane. This

Let’s start with love. Love is this month’s theme in the Let’s Spend the Year Together calendar. It was also the theme in January 2024 because it felt like the right way to begin a year. It still feels right now. Placing it here, near year’s end, is a reminder that it is never too late to begin with love, wherever we are. Start with self-love. Do you practice it regularly? Are you kind, gentle and honest with yourself? Self-love shows up as compassion, forgiveness, authentici

“…and the greatest of these is love.” If you have the 2024  Let’s Spend The Year Together  calendar, you may remember that January began with the theme of love. I wanted to set the tone for the year with something that felt foundational, something that speaks to who we are and how we connect. And now, as we arrive in October 2025, love returns as our guiding theme once more. Why revisit it? Because love is not a one-time reflection. It’s a continual practice. It shapes how we
