Just got off the phone with a good friend. We compared notes about writing assignments, commiserated about book sales, talked about her dogs and my kid and even lamented that the weather in Charlotte is too hot. The forecast where I am too cold. That’s all. We didn’t figure out how to stop oil from spilling into [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This post originally appeared November 2010, when I was exposed to some very raw, hostility directed straight at me. It startled me then. Left me uncertain and even frightened.

When Viva Editions, (the publisher who is also publishing my book Imperfect Spirituality) sent me The Inspired Life: Unleashing Your Mind’s Capacity for Joy, I was psyched. Course, I get excited when I get anything in the mail, but when it’s a free book – yahoo! Toss in one like this work by Susyn Reeve [...]
Yesterday I had a heckuva time coming up with an idea for dinner. I’m in a menu rut: turkey tacos, shrimp pasta, grilled chicken salad, fish and brown rice – repeat. Throw in a little Asian takeout after a hard day and you’ve got my seven-day a week meal plan. It’s ironic. I spend time [...]
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 [...]
Can a clean house really contribute to a meaningful life and the happiness that comes from that? Sure can, but it all depends on what you value and how you fulfill those values. Plenty of science supports the Bigwigs who say our deepest sense of happiness comes from living a values-based life. This means that [...]
