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. [...]
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 [...]
Go with a big theme and make big things happen this year
Every year, (as detailed in last Wednesday’s post, just behind this one) I pick a broad theme, instead of a regimented list of narrow goals. Then, I do write down a few loose goals that fit in context with the theme. I’ve declared 2012 my year of Love. And, one of my goals is to expand [...]
Let your greatness overflow in 2012

Making a difference in the world seems doable this way. So often we get overwhelmed by the problems facing the world. We feel like we can’t do [...]
Get curious about your relationship and reignite the passion
I know he doesn’t like strawberries. He knows I love Asian food. I’ve heard the Boy Scout story a billion times. He’s heard every detail of my book publishing experience –more than once. And, after 12 years together it’s easy to see why the marriage could sometimes feel stagnant or routine. But, just when I [...]
How love aligns you with the Universe
I like this quote form the other day so I’m just gonna run it again: “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.” –Mahatma Gandhi Until Monday, I’d never written about LOVE here on the blog. That is surprising considering it’s one of the biggie spiritual principles and a [...]
Love is the contribution that counts
“A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave. –Mahatma Gandhi For awhile, when I first started dating Mr. J, the man who is now my husband, I spent time commenting even ruminating on his flaws. There weren’t any big bad ones, nothing worrisome, but, I was afraid of getting [...]
