Have You Tried a Hard Restart? A Lesson in Grace.

November 8, 2021 By Caroline Peterson

I knelt alongside the shards of broken glass now strewn across my kitchen floor when it happened. That tight wad of stress, knotted in my stomach, suddenly became undone. My brain, clenched in fight-or-flight, finally released its tight grip. My body said softly to me, “Enough.” It gently nudged me while I was on my […]

The Hawaii Life: One Year in

August 5, 2021 By Caroline Peterson

It’s beyond hard to believe we moved to Hawaii over a year ago.

I Will No Longer Bond over Hating Our Bodies.

April 25, 2021 By Caroline Peterson

It’s one of our earliest connections and conversations as women. One that carries on until our very last breath. The pointing, poking and pulling at portions of our bodies that we don’t like. Summer camps. Sports camps. Sleepovers. At lunch. At recess. On the bus. In cars. In dorm rooms. At parties. Over holidays. At […]

9 People Share Their Daily Pandemic Schedules

March 10, 2021 By Caroline Peterson

One of the best things I’ve discovered from running Not Your Average Gal is that we are far more alike than different. Since being somewhat socially isolated for nearly a year can often lead us to believe we’re doing things alone or differently, I wanted to ask people to share what their daily schedules look […]
