My Rocky Mountain Heart

I was doing so good there for a minute but then December and January hit and I got out of the practice of creating this monthly blog as a way to pause and reflect on how I AM or am NOT living intentionally.  With the stress of the holidays and moving, I guess I got…

I really can’t believe it’s already December and that Hanukkah and Christmas are just a few weeks away! As a way to reflect on my life and move forward with intention, I’m trying to keep up with a monthly blog to get clear on my goals and vision for the weeks ahead – this practice…

We have had a lot of good fortune lately, a lot of things lining up to help us more easily transition to the next chapter of our lives. Honestly, it’s been hard to believe the number of blessings that have occurred one after the other. And without knowing more about the situation, it might seem…

It finally happened…the first snow of the season. And it was just as glorious as I’d hoped it would be. Snow is kind of my thing. It’s beautiful, magical and a shock to the senses. Living in a snowy mountain environment is incredibly invigorating for me!  But what I love most about the snow is…
