You can make a difference
The biggest changes are often a result of the smallest kindnesses. The world is filled with countless examples of individuals who alone made a profound and grand, contribution. Often you may start alone, with a baby step, but soon others will be swept up in your kindness too. When you lead with compassion, you will [...]
Ten ways to make a positive difference – starting now
On the most recent book tour several people asked how I could practice this spirituality stuff and focus on living in the moments of my life, and feeling optimistic and loving and hopeful when there is so much wrong with the world. There is violence and lack and discomfort and despair – for sure. And [...]
Five ways to make a great day
At the end of the voice-mail recording I heard this message: “Make a great day.” And I love it, because it reminds us that we are creators and we get to have a say in the kind of day we’ll have. We get to choose how we’ll react to the circumstances that make their way [...]
Morning Makers: Three mini-habits that can help boost your mood
I’ve had a lot of people ask how they can integrate this spirituality stuff right in the middle of their days. I mean mindfulness and meditation are all good as long as you don’t have a noisy boss or baby demanding your time, right? But, spirituality is really the most powerful when you develop habits [...]
Easy practices to open the conduit of compassion
Compassion is a kind of the one-size-fits-all quality. It’s good for everyone, available to anyone, and soothes your mood without any unnecessary calories. Yet sometimes we forget. We think that people have to act a certain way to be worthy of our kindness. Baloney. Compassion is a choice. Your choice. Will you live a life [...]

If you want to accomplish something small, say, like, brokering world peace, or creating lasting happiness for all; or you want to attempt something major like making it through the morning routine without drama over how the five-year-old wears her hair (maybe that’s just me) — compassion is the key. I think it is the [...]
Kindness is a quick pick-me-up and you can try it at home
Feeling low? Go do something for someone else. Not kidding. I’ve written before about the importance of giving and serving. It’s a biggie. Not only does it make others feel good, but it is actually healing for you. Generosity reduces stress, improves immune system response and helps the heart and improves mental health, says Dr. [...]
The Candle Lighter Award: How the little things change life in a big way
Sunday 10:10 a.m. My husband is out watching football. I love football. My daughter is drawing pictures and coloring princesses. I love coloring with my daughter. And I am in my home office, alone, with the computer and the space heater amped up. I’ve got some serious work to do today. I’m not in the [...]
Learning to love yourself is a necessity not an indulgence
I’m not a rainbow and hearts kinda girl – except for when I was about eight and dotted every ‘ i ‘ with a mini heart. I’m not frilly or lovey dovey. And while I feel deeply and love deeply I’ve never spent a ton of time thinking about what love is and how it [...]
Pick a theme to guide your year and your goals
I am a goal-minded girl. I love sitting down at the end of every year, with my pad and pen in hand, plotting and planning all the things I want to accomplish in the upcoming days, weeks, year. But, several years ago, I realized that while specific planning did help me reach some of my goals, at [...]
