Easy to use habits that can uplift your life
On Monday I wrote about my Game Changers, things I do every day (or just about) to connect to my spirit and change my day for the better. Today, I’m mentioning three more things that I add in at least once a week. These promote good feelings and vitality and perspective and balance. And if [...]

This short video talks about what mindfulness is. Here are some quickie exercises to help you develop your own practice of mindful [...]
How to practice patience, end self-sabotage
I’m not the most patient soul. BEWARE, if it takes you longer than 30 seconds to wipe down the counters or feed the cats. That kind of stuff – the slow motion way Sweet P climbs into the car, or the time it takes me to fold the clothes or the ancient computer to download [...]

One way to turn your brain to mush or why I love T.V.
I have a hangover – from watching too much T.V. We’ve had it on a lot these last few days. Sweet P was slowed by a fever and a scary-sounding cough. My husband was slowed by congestion and plugged ears and general snarfing ickiness and I was slowed by waiting on both of them and [...]
What’s your story?
