Living an inspired life because you deserve it!
I have someone very close to me going through one of the harder trials of her life at this very moment. She and her husband needed a little help in getting pregnant and after an expensive, painful, and humbling in vitro experience, they found out that they were happily expecting twins. About 8 weeks ago [...]
“Fall down seven times, stand up eight,” defines STRENGTH, in my eyes. The phrase probably seems too simple? But, I have thought about it and thought about it in preparation for this month’s Smitten By post, and it’s what I keep coming back to. The concept includes the power of faith (because why get [...]
The most important new beginnings in my life have included people and forgiveness, and usually forgiving the same person many, many times. Sometimes I am sadly forgiving myself for some new and idiotic mistake. But, I also find that my happiness greatly involves forgiving others. Forgiveness has been weighing on my mind lately as I add new [...]
I can’t seem to just post something “fun” and light on “Smittenby.” I regularly find myself working through one or two of life’s lessons, either learned or not yet learned. As I write this I am cataloging the holiday traditions that I love so much, and the ONE that I hate. I have a stubborn [...]
“NO!”—this is my reaction to this month’s theme when thinking of women pushing themselves to try something new and something scary.

Think back to when you were five years to eight years old and anything was possible? At five years old I knew that I could fly if I had enough pixie dust and a happy thought in my heart. And, at eight years old I was going to be a Solid Gold dancer (a television [...]
Some of the best advice I was ever given was to “ask for what you want in life because people don’t read your mind and just hand it to you.” But, a close second is when my dad yelled at me from the waterski boat to “STAND UP LIKE A LADY!” What?? People now [...]
It is fairly ironic that I am a “successful” Plaintiff’s personal injury attorney who owns my own firm with my brother. I have been practicing for almost eleven years (and my son is turning twelve this summer.) We have a steady stream of cases coming into our firm—a small miracle as we do not advertise [...]
As I thought about this month’s topic of “spring cleaning”, I let my mind wander while I cleaned out my purse. Maybe I should rename my purse and, more appropriately, call it “luggage.” I don’t believe in packing light as it did not serve me well on my only attempt, so I usually follow that [...]
