L is for Laughter.

What situation in your life is so ridiculous that all you can do is laugh?

Right now, it's the boxes.

We've moved so many times over the last few years that we reused moving boxes.

Which sounds practical until you realize the boxes still had the old labels on them.

As a result, boxes labeled for my daughter's room ended up in my daughter's room (makes sense, right?)

But, she opened them, discovered they weren't hers, and moved them into the hallway.

Now they're blocking my office.

The guest room is full.

The boxes I actually could unpack are trapped behind other boxes.

And because of my shoulder, I can't move any of the boxes myself.

To make things even better, my 18-year-old niece is coming to visit us next week.

Not her first visit to this house.

Her first visit to us.

Ever.

Naturally, the guest room she's supposed to stay in is currently occupied by boxes.

Lots of boxes.

Fortunately, she insists she doesn't mind and even claims she "likes boxes".

I'm choosing to believe her.

The whole situation is absurd.

And if I'm being honest, there are moments when it's frustrating.

But there are also moments when it's funny.

Because sometimes life gives us problems that don't have an immediate solution.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is wait.

And while you're waiting, you might as well find something to laugh about.

A friend of mine knows I've been struggling with all of this lately, so she's been sending me extra funny videos.

Not because they solve the problem.

Not because they make the boxes disappear.

But because they remind me that even in difficult seasons, there are still reasons to smile.

It reminds me of something I say often:

Some of the worst moments make the best stories later.

Sometimes you can't laugh in the middle of the mess.

But if you're lucky, eventually you can laugh when you look back on it.

And sometimes that possibility is enough to get you through today.

So I'll ask again:

What situation in your life is so ridiculous that all you can do is laugh?

K is for Kindness.

What discomfort are you tolerating that you don't actually have to?

Today was one of those days.

Meeting after meeting.

Barely enough time to eat.

At one point I realized I was cold.

And for a moment, I considered just staying cold.

Not because I wanted to.

Because stopping to do something about it felt inconvenient.

Then I caught myself.

I turned up the thermostat.

I grabbed a blanket.

Problem solved.

It sounds ridiculous when I write it out.

Of course I should get a blanket if I'm cold.

But how often do we do this to ourselves?

How often do we stay hungry because we're busy?

Stay exhausted because there's more work to do?

Stay uncomfortable because helping ourselves feels like one more thing on the list?

Recently, someone I barely knew offered to help support my injured shoulder and later made a video showing me how to tape it correctly.

She wasn't trying to solve everything.

She was simply looking for a way to make things a little easier.

And that's what kindness often is.

Not grand gestures.

Just noticing discomfort and asking:

"Is there a simple way to make this better?"

Sometimes for someone else.

Sometimes for yourself.

So I'll ask again:

What discomfort are you tolerating that you don't actually have to?

J is for Juggling.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever found while looking for something else?

Mine might be finding my phone in the refrigerator.

I wish I was kidding.

I sat down to work and realized I needed my phone to look at some notes.

The problem was that my phone wasn't on my desk.

So I started looking.

Bedroom.

Kitchen.

Living room.

Office.

Nothing.

Eventually I found it in the refrigerator.

Which is also when I realized it was four o'clock in the afternoon and I hadn't eaten yet.

So now I'm making food, reading notes, trying to get back to work, and wondering how my phone ended up next to the leftovers.

If you have ADHD, this story probably sounds familiar.

Sometimes it feels like we're juggling ten things at once.

Work.

Family.

Appointments.

Self-care.

The dishes.

The grocery list.

The thing we were supposed to do before we got distracted by the other thing.

And yes, it can be exhausting.

But here's the part I don't hear people talk about enough:

Juggling is also a skill.

Most of us have spent years learning how to adapt when things don't go according to plan.

We learn to pivot.

We learn to recover.

We learn to keep moving even when our brains take the scenic route.

Is it messy?

Absolutely.

But it's also kind of impressive.

Because despite the chaos, we still manage to keep a lot of balls in the air.

So I'll ask again:

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever found while looking for something else?

I is for Intention.

What are you doing repeatedly, and why?

Yesterday I talked about habits.

Today I want to talk about the thing that comes before habits.

Intention.

Because habits aren't the goal.

They're the tool.

This is my game closet.

When people come to our house, I've started telling them it's one of the most important rooms.

Not because I love collecting games.

Not because I needed another hobby.

Because these games represent something I care about.

Connection.

Friendship.

Shared experiences.

Future memories.

Every month I host a business game night.

Every few months I invite friends over to my house to play games.

Those gatherings don't happen because I own the games.

I own the games because I intend to create those gatherings.

The intention came first.

The games support the intention.

The game nights are the habit.

And that's true for so many things in life.

The habit isn't the point.

The walk isn't the point.

The meal tracking isn't the point.

The photo challenge isn't the point.

The habit is just the vehicle.

The real question is:

Where are you trying to go?

Because when a habit is connected to something that genuinely matters to you, it's easier to keep showing up.

Not because you're disciplined.

Because you're moving toward something you care about.

So I'll ask again:

What are you doing repeatedly, and what intention is driving it?

H is for Habits.

What's a habit you've built because you struggle with something?

A lot of people tell me how organized I am.

The truth is, I've spent most of my life trying to figure out how to stay organized.

Sticky notes.

Calendars.

Lists.

Jars full of completed tasks.

Apps.

Checklists.

If there's a system out there, I've probably tried it.

Not because organization comes naturally to me.

Because it doesn't.

One of the tools I've been using lately is an app called Finch. I've used it for 558 days in a row.

The app gives me tiny rewards for doing things that are important to me.

Not just work tasks.

Things like:

- Eat breakfast
- Go for a walk
- Do my migraine exercises
- Stretch for my plantar fasciitis
- Remind myself that I am not a victim of time

The rewards are small.

But they help.

And over the years, I've realized something important:

The goal isn't to become the kind of person who magically remembers everything.

The goal is to build systems that support the life you actually want to live.

The dishes don't get done because I'm disciplined.

They get done because I've built habits around them.

I ask for help when I need it.

I don't let them pile up until they become overwhelming.

I have systems.

The same is true for exercise.
For self-care.
For work.
For relationships.

Habits aren't about becoming a different person.

They're about making it easier to be the person you want to be.

So I'll ask again:

What's a habit you've built because you struggle with something?

Or what habit do you wish you had that would make life a little easier?

G is for Gratitude.

What is something that makes you happy simply because it makes someone you love happy?

This car has been sitting for years.

Not because we didn't care about it.

Life just got in the way.

There was never enough time.
Never enough money.
Never the right place to work on it.

Today, all of those things lined up.

So we spent the day working on it.

We're not doing a perfect paint job. We're doing a practical one. Enough to protect it from rust and make it look a little less like a project that's been waiting for years.

The funny thing is that I don't really care about the car itself.

I never have.

But today I got to watch my husband work on something he genuinely loves.

I got to watch him make progress on something he's been wanting to do for a very long time.

And that made me smile.

Sometimes gratitude isn't about the thing.

Sometimes it's about getting to witness someone else's joy.

Sometimes it's about realizing how far you've come.

Five years ago, this project felt impossible.

Today, it's sitting in our driveway.

Not finished.

But moving forward.

And for that, I'm incredibly grateful.

So I'll ask again:

What is something that brings you joy simply because it brings joy to someone you love?

D is for Dishes.

Have you ever tied your worth to a task?

For years, I thought the goal was to get the dishes done.

If the sink was empty...
If the dishwasher was unloaded...
If the cabinets were organized...

Then I'd finally feel caught up.

Successful.

Enough.

The problem was that dishes don't stay done.

You wash them.
You put them away.
And then somebody eats lunch.

The cycle starts all over again.

What took me years to understand is that I wasn't actually chasing clean dishes.

I was chasing a feeling.

I believed that if I could just keep up with everything, I'd finally feel okay.

But the dishes were never the problem.

The dishes were just the thing I had chosen to measure myself against.

Today, the dishes are done.

They're clean.
They're put away.
They're sitting neatly in the cabinet behind me.

And while that feels good, it doesn't determine my worth any more than a sink full of dirty dishes does.

The dishes were never really about the dishes.

What task have you accidentally turned into a measurement of your worth?

B is for Belief.

What's something you were absolutely certain would be part of your future?

For me, it's this suitcase.

I bought it when I was in ultrasound school. Not for travel. Not for vacations. I bought it to haul around textbooks and supplies, and honestly, because it doubled as a place to sit when I needed one.

At the time, I was convinced I knew where my life was headed.

I was going to graduate.

I was going to work in ultrasound.

I was going to build a career in healthcare.

This suitcase was part of that plan.

Today, I haven't worked in ultrasound for over five years.

I still have the suitcase.

I still have the student loans.

But I don't have the future I thought I was building when I bought it.

And strangely, I don't see that as failure.

I think one of the biggest beliefs many of us carry is that changing directions means we made a mistake.

That if we leave a career, change our minds, or choose a different path, then all the time, effort, and money we invested were somehow wasted.

I'm not sure that's true.

Ultrasound wasn't where I stayed.

But it was part of how I became who I am.

Every version of ourselves leaves something behind. Sometimes it's a lesson. Sometimes it's a story. Sometimes it's a suitcase sitting in a closet years later reminding us of a life we thought we'd have.

The suitcase stayed.

The belief changed.

And that's okay.

What's something you were sure would be part of your future that isn't anymore?

A is for Avoidance.

What have you been avoiding lately?

This morning at 6 a.m., we returned the last U-Haul. Everything we own is finally in our house.

The problem is that "in the house" and "put away" are two very different things.

Most of our rooms currently look like this—boxes stacked everywhere, things waiting for homes, and a very long list of projects still waiting to be tackled.

And yet, instead of unpacking, I started a puzzle.

At first glance, that might look like avoidance.

Maybe it is.

But I've been thinking a lot lately about how avoidance gets a bad reputation.

Sometimes avoidance is a warning sign. It's our brain's way of telling us we're overwhelmed, exhausted, or carrying more than we can process at the moment.

Sometimes we're not avoiding the task itself. We're avoiding the decisions, the pressure, or the feeling that we'll never get to the end of the list.

And sometimes?

Sometimes it's okay to avoid something for a little while.

Sometimes it's okay to choose the puzzle over the boxes.

To choose rest over productivity.

To choose something enjoyable before diving back into the work that still needs to be done.

For years, I thought every unfinished task meant something about me. That if the dishes weren't done, the boxes weren't unpacked, or the project wasn't finished, it meant I wasn't doing enough.

I'm learning that's not always true.

The boxes will still be there tomorrow.

The puzzle will eventually get finished.

And today, both of those things are okay.

So I'll ask again:

What have you been avoiding lately?

And do you think you're avoiding the task—or the feeling attached to it?
