How to Move Into the Moment — NOW
Living in the present moment, can be exhausting — at first. But it gets easier with practice and then life just becomes so much better. In the present, big-time experiences become bolder, and anxiety-producing situations become puzzles to solve rather than problems threatening to derail you. Life overall becomes more interesting, and engaging. When you [...]
The “Small Stuff” Can Help You Become Present in a Big Way
I love the smell of that first cup of morning coffee when I pull the mug up to my lips for the first sip. I like too, the feel of the old leather bound journal I’m using. It inspires me every time I pick it up. And, when I see the smallest of the small [...]
Clean Out the Mental Clutter and End the Self Sabotage
With spring just a week away, it’s time for a little spring cleaning. But, this time when you sort through the closet and clean out the drawer, tossing out all the worn items or things you no longer need, take a minute to also clean out that mental clutter that’s keeping you from enjoying your [...]
Clean Out the Closet and Ease Your Stress
For the last year, I’m embarrassed to say, my nemesis was a closet in the hallway. The one where the dishtowels were folded and then jammed between a file box and the wall, below the children’s Motrin, which was next to the paper plates, of course, and the and the nail polish and the blender [...]

Neural pathways are like highways in the brain. They provide information flow and response by creating routes throughout the nervous system. The routes that we use more frequently, to sustain habits or perform repeated tasks, feel more comfortable because the signals travel along well-established pathways. Signals flash through them easily like cars racing down the [...]
Cross-talk can fire up our brain function
About a year ago, I mixed things up around her. In a big way. Well, sort of. I mean it felt like a big way. I moved my computer mouse from the right side of my desk, where it could be easily reached by my dominant right hand, to the left side of my desk. [...]
Stop doing the things that thwart your success and create momentum
I have got to get off Facebook. Seriously. I’ve got a long, to do list and plenty of other things I want to do: exercise, draft a post, market my book – that will actually move me closer to my goals and passions, but I have got to get off Facebook to do it. So, [...]
Discover the habits holding you back and attract success
Bad habits. We’ve all got’em. Things that keep us from our best selves, sabotage our success, or just keep us lazing on the couch when we could be doing something more interesting and fun. Teacher and author Judith Wright calls them Soft Addictions. Psychotherapist Terry Real labels them as misery stabilizers. For me, these are the little [...]
The Gift of Humor — An Excerpt from Full Cup, Thirsty Spirit
I’m often struck by how great a gift it is to be able to laugh at ourselves and the predicaments we find ourselves in. I realize that this isn’t always possible. Sometimes when we’re most in need of humor, it sits outside the perimeter of what we can reach, which—in a sort of cruel way—can [...]
