One way to turn your brain to mush or why I love T.V.
I have a hangover – from watching too much T.V. We’ve had it on a lot these last few days. Sweet P was slowed by a fever and a scary-sounding cough. My husband was slowed by congestion and plugged ears and general snarfing ickiness and I was slowed by waiting on both of them and [...]
How to cope with the little changes in life
I’m a planner. A to-do-lister. I like to have things organized. To know what needs to happen and when. And, I like to charge ahead and get it done. I do NOT like it when plans change. But, plans always change. So, I’m learning to roll with that. Sort of. Well, I’m working on it [...]
Performance booster
I’m not endorsing coffee here and I wouldn’t claim caffeine is one of the great personal development secrets, but I do get a little excited when research supports a habit I already have — and coffee is one of those habits.

There weren’t any big bad ones, nothing worrisome, but, I was afraid of getting [...]
What’s your story?
When things go haywire and life takes a scary, irritating, messy turn – how do you talk about it? Do you dwell on the drama and despair? Or do you tell a story about how you can figure it out and thrive? What is the story you tell? When we’re caught up in what feels [...]
How To Become More Present
Stay present — the New Age tip of the Millennium. It’s almost become cliche’ because we hear about it so much. Yet the practice of presence can change your life in so many positive, interesting ways, I decided to put it out here too. For me being present is about connecting to myself and my [...]
Staying present — for at least 3-seconds
We adhere to the five second rule in this household. If a really good piece of food falls on the floor we usually pick it up and stick in our mouths — as long as it hasn’t been on the ground for more than five seconds. This doesn’t happen with broccoli. Once down, it stays [...]
