  • Light Your Light

    Light Your Light

    It’s almost the end of January, but in my neighborhood a lot of people still have their holiday decorations up.  I’ve seen homes with wreathes on their doors and swags still wrapped around front porch railings.  There are lights hanging from roofs and paper snowflakes taped to windows.  At my own home, I’ve refused to…

  • My resolution for 2013

    My resolution for 2013

    I’ve always been against using the word “resolution” when associated with a new year.  I’ve preferred to talk about goals for the year.  I’ve looked at the year ahead as an opportunity to achieve certain goals and milestones.

  • The Power of “No”

    A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. I’ve always hated this saying.  It’s absolutely no fun especially for a girl who doesn’t like to say “no”.  I say yes to dessert, shoes, wine, whatever.  I don’t like to deprive myself.  As soon as I do, I’m very sad about it. My dad…
