When I wake up tomorrow morning and wander through the still-quiet (please, please still be quiet) house, in the plaid red flannel pajamas, with the tiny claw holes on the shoulder where the cat likes to drape – everything will look the same, but it will all be different. Later, I will gently wake up [...]
I write a lot about moving forward and taking inspired action toward the things that matter most. These are the things that you’re passionate about, the things that fuel and inspire you and in the process inspire the rest of us. So often we get caught up in the real life dilemmas: what to cook [...]
On Monday I wrote about a report in Glamour Magazine that says that 97-percent of all women have a negative thought about their physical body – EVERY DAY. I’m thinking that is not at all helpful. And while there are plenty of things to blame and complain about that influence how women feel about themselves, [...]
The other day I was looking for a word to describe my daughter’s effort while cleaning up the Barbie stuff. I went with supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. The word was a little over the top, I’ll admit, though she was enthusiastic while cleaning up microscopic forks and stethoscopes. Mostly, I wanted to compliment her behavior in the slim [...]
We can become so caught up in our expectations – the plan we set for our life – that we miss living this life altogether. When we expect things to go a particular way, we are fast forwarding from beginning to end without experiencing the good stuff, yes and the tough stuff, in between. This [...]
It was a great weekend. Family and friends. Fun activities, good food – and not at all what I expected. For awhile then, instead of soaking up all the good things that did occur, all the surprises and opportunities – I lamented what didn’t happen. There was never any plan. No agenda, but still I [...]
I’m bossy. Have been since I was a kid. I like to direct things. I keep a clean house, tight schedule, and clear objectives. But, this isn’t necessarily something to brag about. Too often, when we are moving with a mission in mind, we move out of the moment and begin to micro-manage people and [...]
I’ve felt a little off lately. Disconnected. Edgy. Impatient. Lethargic. Prone to outbursts of emotional eating and whining when things aren’t going my way. I’ve stepped out of flow of life and tried, instead, to control it. Course, it isn’t working. It never works and my efforts to micro-manage have left me feeling ungrounded and irritated. [...]
A playful spirit is the cornerstone of creativity, joy, and spirituality. It is the way we learn and grow and connect with others. It’s also how we become more efficient and productive problem-solvers. With a little fun in your life, things become easier to manage. But, as grown-ups we aren’t good about making time to [...]
I went out for a quick dinner with my girlfriends before the sun set. I arrived home three hours later, in darkness. Boy, did that go fast. It’s easy to feel like your life is on fast forward, especially when you’re having fun and now researchers know why. When we are in what the Bigwigs [...]
