Life Disturbed

My Blog

This blog is the intersection of all of my passions. Writing, reading, connecting with others, storytelling, communication, organizing, nature, the universe – and so much more! It’s not about business here.

Here, you get a tiny glimpse into my head (sorry it’s such a mess in here).

Before reading on, here’s why my blog is called “Life Disturbed.” It’s not the connotation that you’re probably thinking. I don’t mean disturbed as in distressed, disrupted, or agitated. And I’m not talking about the heavy metal band from Chicago. I’m talking disturbed in the physics way. In her book Thank and Grow Rich, Pam Grout talks about the German physicist Heisenberg. He said that we change and affect everything we observe. She says, “Disturb to a physicist, means to change or modify the molecules, the atoms, the energy that makes up a physical thing. Everything I observe, everything I do, affects everything else.”

My goal (maybe it’s more of a challenge) is to be mindful and intentional about the way I affect the world around me, including but not limited to people, animals, plants, the ground beneath our feet, the sky above our heads…you get the picture. I know that there is a much bigger power at play. The universe has my back and I want to make sure I’m positively disturbing everything around me.

I’m glad you’re here.

I Got Ghosted

And not in the fun haunting ghost way. A few months ago, I wanted to send a message to a friend. I hadn’t talked to her in a while so I wanted to catch up and I wanted her advice on a professional issue. Popped into my Facebook messages and I wasn’t pulling up her...

Grief, Guilt And Gratitude

On Saturday morning, I went to a “Holiday Grief Support Workshop.” It was put together and ran by the hospice team that took care of my mom. I could go on and on about how their employees and volunteers are amazing angels, but that’s not why I’m writing this today. I...

Guilt And Vulnerability

So I’m watching Brené Brown’s new Netflix original, The Call to Courage. I’m laughing and I’m crying. I’m saying “yes!” out loud to her like we’re having a conversation in my living room. I’m pausing it to take some notes and to look up this quote by Teddy Roosevelt....
