Through the entire month of December (and most of November), the spirit of the season fills Danish hearts and homes with glad tidings of great joy, creating light and warmth throughout the cold dark Nordic winters. And the celebrations aren't limited to just one day.

I’m reviving Plumb Creative to be a source of inspiration— ideas, tools, and resources to connect you to a life you love. To help you discover who you really are, discover purpose and joy in each day, to help you connect to your truest Self, and subsequently, to each other. To live a good story— a Life, Inspired.

When we're kids, it’s easy to believe we are unstoppable. We have big dreams of being rebel pilots, princesses, or movie stars. To save the world from evil or get paid a lot of money. It seems the older we get, the less we believe in our own ability, in the possibility of achieving those dreams.

When the days are dark and it feels impossible to go on, remember, they shall not last. When a day is perfect and life feels like it couldn’t get any better, remember to savor it, for it too will come to a end.

When you find yourself faced with feelings of frustration and disappointment, when you find yourself complaining, that is the perfect time to practice gratitude. Because there’s more to it than just making a list of things you’re thankful for.

When you have no air in your lungs, crying out for help is impossible. But it takes a hell of a lot of strength to endure its weight; the patience required to let it ride out, to get back up, even though your legs have gone numb and you’re still catching your breath.

When I find myself bored of the same old routine, the days all blurring to one, the mood of mundane starts to put me on edge. So I came up with a few new ways to shake up these winter doldrums.

A brainstorm of ideas to bring light and warmth into the cold and dark.

We had paper maps and pay-phones, post cards and rolls of film. We couldn’t share stories as they happened, or live stream what we were seeing. Each day was its own adventure, full of wonder, surprises, and mishaps.

Every now and then that devil appears and whispers to get out of here, that itchy leg, that flight response. The draw of the endless ocean, the open vast miles of possibility, the unknown excitement of undiscovered shores.

On New Year’s Day of 2017, I found myself navigating the twisted freeway system of Los Angeles, traffic so light you might have thought the apocalypse had occurred at midnight. Here’s what happened on this memorable family road trip.

Exploring the Adriatic Coast, underground caves, alpine excursions, Lipizzaner horses, wine tasting, and more in Slovenia.

Raise your hand if you’ve had a gajillion different planners and goal setting tools and books and courses and worksheets and apps, and you still never feel like you’re totally ready for the New Year. Here’s a list of my favorite tools that are essential to my success.

There’s nothing quite like the fall colors in the great Pacific Northwest. While the outer beauty is one of my favorite parts of the season, there is also a shift internally as well. I look forward to this time of year because it feels like a great time to let go of things that just aren’t worth holding on to anymore.

This summer's obsessions looks a little different than some of my other posts about what I’m loving lately, but there’s a simple reason for that: I’ve been incredibly busy working on my business!

While it may not feel like the most exciting Spring Break one could wish for, there are ways I’m discovering to enjoy the self-quarantine. So here’s to flowers, fresh or faux, British romantic comedies, meaningful music, and any other thing you can find to be grateful for during these crazy days. Like every season does, this too shall pass.
