Hey there! I’m Mikala—a family doctor, wife, mother of 5, well-being advocate, and author of the books Ordinary on Purpose and Everything I Wish I Could Tell You About Midlife. Each month my writing reaches millions of women, but I am thrilled to be connecting with YOU. I’m truly grateful to have you here!

Moms, we don’t have to do it all every year. We can pick one or two things. Then just be present. And soak it in. Turns out, Christmas is CUMULATIVE!!
I’m realizing I don’t want 2021 to be my year. For anything. Like finally achieving whole house organization. Or finally getting into the best shape of my life. Or finally achieving some grand purpose.
It’s simple. And slow. Slow enough for riding bikes to the park. Slow enough for catching roly polies. And snails. Slow enough for evenings around our firepit roasting smores.
I can serve and love and work and pray and give the very best of myself to the task right in front of my face.
The truth is most of our lives are lived in the ordinary moments every single day with the people standing right beside us.
